Democratic strategist Aisha Mills burst into laughter at former Rep. Scott Taylor’s (R-VA) criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, ahead of describing his remarks as “comical and a shaggy dog story.”

Reacting to Harris’ lead in the polls on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, Taylor stated, “I feel it’s going to fade.”

He explained:

It has been consistent for roughly two, three weeks as a result of she’s had a huge quantity of certain press. Of course, she hasn’t sat down and talked to you and talked about policies or anything else like that. So I feel that if this was once over months and months and months and there was once momentum or it used to be constant there, yes, I’d be a little bit bit involved.

However right here’s the truth. I mean, I misplaced election, I was once up via seven, eight points one week ahead of the election. We have now a protracted option to go and I don’t assume that these polls in August are indicative of what’s going to occur in November.

Taylor went on to take into account the time he watched Harris discuss on the NAACP’s National Convention in Baltimore.

“In 2018, I used to be invited to the Nationwide NAACP Convention in Baltimore, and on the time it was once proper prior to she launched the presidential campaign and all the rumors had been it is the next female Obama,” he mentioned. “In that target market, principally– I imply, all African-American target market, largely women, politically in tune, it was horrible. She didn’t connect with that target market, it fell very flat. I went back to my body of workers that evening and mentioned, ‘She’s going nowhere on this presidential race. There’s no means.’”

As Mills burst into laughter, Taylor continued, “In my opinion, the extra the American people, and indubitably the independents that are crucial as you mentioned, the extra they see her in her own words, in her personal videos, the extra I believe that they are going to dislike her, and I believe that that momentum will come to a screeching halt.”

Mills laughed again earlier than responding, “That’s just comical and a shaggy dog story that so many Republican operatives at this point are dragging themselves out claiming to have been looking at Kamala Harris for years and looking to fulfill her and see what she’s up to, and she or he wasn’t up to anything back then.”

She endured, “The momentum is actually on the Democrat side and right here’s why. It’s because even when we get to these actually exhausting conversations – some will be troublesome – about policy, the place all Democrats won’t even agree on the coverage agenda of this administration, and no doubt Republicans might not. The big concept right here, although, is that we share the same values of who we wish to be as a nation, even if we don’t agree on each single element.”

Mills argued that disagreements over policy throughout the Democratic Birthday Celebration would now not “cause her to lose fortify,” and as an alternative would remind Democrats and Americans that “we’re greater than the sum of our components.”

She concluded, “So I don’t see this slowing down at all. I believe that this energy, definitely for the following eighty three days, just isn’t going to dissipate, and that’s why the opposite side is being affected by what your strategy is going to be.”
