During an \u200binterview on Fox News, Donalds indicated that Harris&#8217;s lack of\u200c substantial policy\u200b discussions and her current polling, which shows her trailing behind Trump more significantly than Hillary Clinton did in 2016 or\u200d Biden in 2020, could hinder her campaign. He labeled Biden&#8217;s administration as responsible for a struggling economy\u2062 and an open southern border leading to\u200b a surge of illegal immigration. <\/p>\n<p>Donalds also emphasized that the Democratic Party has governed for 12 of the last\u200b 16 years, with the economy only flourishing under Trump. He asserted that Trump has the potential to appeal to\u2063 swing voters by contrasting his policies with those of Harris,\u200d cautioning \u200bthat her policies would adversely impact working families \u2062and seniors\u200d on fixed incomes. \u2062Furthermore, he advised Trump to challenge Harris on her record related to crime,\u2062 referencing her\u2062 actions during protests that followed the Black \u2063Lives Matter movement. Donalds feels Trump is \u2064in\u200c a strong position \u200bto win the\u200b upcoming election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris &lsquo;cannot run&rsquo; from her connection with Biden: Byron Donalds<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1736997\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/byron-donalds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Byron Donalds<\/a> (R-FL) expressed doubt that Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> can win the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 election<\/a>, citing how she is unable to distance herself from President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The Florida congressman, who is also a major supporter of former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>, believes the 2024 presidential race is very close, but that the former president is &ldquo;greatly positioned&rdquo; to emerge as the victor.

Byron Donalds (R-FL) expressed skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s chances in the 2024 election, arguing that she cannot separate herself from President Joe Biden. The Florida congressman, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, believes the upcoming presidential race is highly competitive but feels Trump is &#8220;well positioned&#8221; to win. He pointed to several factors for his belief, including Harris&#8217;s lack of policy engagement and current polling showing her trailing behind Trump more than previous candidates like Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then, No. 3, Kamala Harris cannot run from Joe Biden,&#8221; Donalds stated during an appearance on Fox News\u2019s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. He noted that while she may attempt to present herself as a prosecutor, her official role is vice president and she has been part of an administration that has contributed to significant economic challenges for working families while failing to secure the southern border against illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Donalds also highlighted that the Democratic Party has held power for 12 out of the last 16 years and claimed people were only better off during Trump&#8217;s presidency when he described the economy as &#8220;flourishing&#8221; without new wars breaking out under his leadership. When asked if he thinks Trump can sway swing voters away from Harris, Donalds expressed confidence but emphasized that Trump must clearly differentiate his policies from hers.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that affluent individuals would not feel the impact of Harris&#8217;s potential policies if she were elected president; instead, it would be working families and seniors on fixed incomes who would suffer financially. Earlier this month, he urged Trump to campaign against what he termed Harris\u2019s \u201csoft on crime\u201d record by highlighting her past actions during protests related to Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Trump visited the southern border with families affected by crimes committed by illegal immigrants and cited numerous cases involving assaults or murders linked to them.
