The piece suggests that during the debate,\u2062 Harris will likely focus \u2063on three main topics: the\u200d events of January\u2062 6, the 2020 election, and Trump&#8217;s legal issues, rather than her own record as vice\u2063 president. This approach is seen as a necessity for her,\u2062 given \u200bthe dismal \u200cevaluations of her policy proposals \u200cand accomplishments. The author, Eddie Scarry, argues that Harris&#8217;s strategy will revolve around attacking Trump, as any discussion of her own record would be detrimental \u200cto her candidacy.  <\/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<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/whitehouse\/52650825566\/in\/photolist-2odzf7A-2mnGaKA-2mr7zrn-2ocfB2U-2ourWak-2oFZBrr-2n2vXjP-2n2vXGc-2odACjc-2odBv13-2ogbAwh-2nd5SdB-2kUbU2M-2kVrEaf-2oBizJ8-2ocgKdf-2n2CvVR-2kRMDUC-2oBizK5-2oFZfxz-2kUcaax-2kVwhxP-2nd5Sei-2oCAyCW-2oFXh1K-2mfzBL2-2mnDD4P-2oE7JUV-2ngBRik-2mfJG9f-2oBhNQT-2oBizHM-2oLbNaT-2mfELkh-2o1KDSo-2oCAyDN-2mKfQU2-2mKfoCw-2nrMjbq-2nCnRm7-2mfHfAT-2nPd7cs-2nk7E8Z-2kUc8NK-2mwtcmQ-2nk7Ean-2mnGaU8-2ozbJjo-2kUcxk3-2mKbWcd\">Erin Scott\/The White House\/Flickr<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamalas-debate-strategy-is-talking-about-j6-2020-and-trump-being-a-convicted-felon-its-all-shes-got\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Kamala%E2%80%99s%20Debate%20Strategy%20Is%20Talking%20About%20J6,%202020,%20And%20Trump%20Being%20A%20%E2%80%98Convicted%20Felon.%E2%80%99%20It%E2%80%99s%20All%20She%E2%80%99s%20Got&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamalas-debate-strategy-is-talking-about-j6-2020-and-trump-being-a-convicted-felon-its-all-shes-got\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Kamala%E2%80%99s%20Debate%20Strategy%20Is%20Talking%20About%20J6,%202020,%20And%20Trump%20Being%20A%20%E2%80%98Convicted%20Felon.%E2%80%99%20It%E2%80%99s%20All%20She%E2%80%99s%20Got&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamalas-debate-strategy-is-talking-about-j6-2020-and-trump-being-a-convicted-felon-its-all-shes-got\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamalas-debate-strategy-is-talking-about-j6-2020-and-trump-being-a-convicted-felon-its-all-shes-got\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Kamala%E2%80%99s%20Debate%20Strategy%20Is%20Talking%20About%20J6,%202020,%20And%20Trump%20Being%20A%20%E2%80%98Convicted%20Felon.%E2%80%99%20It%E2%80%99s%20All%20She%E2%80%99s%20Got&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamalas-debate-strategy-is-talking-about-j6-2020-and-trump-being-a-convicted-felon-its-all-shes-got\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Vibes and &ldquo;joy&rdquo; have exhausted their mileage.

There&rsquo;s no reason to expect it to go well for Kamala. Her demand for the host network, ABC, to keep both candidates&rsquo; mics on for the duration of the event was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/09\/06\/kamala-harris-debate-prep-00177762\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rejected<\/a>, plus her recent (and still only) national TV interview with CNN served as another reminder that Kamala is in over her head, has no vision for the country, and has no interest in governance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cdfd7037d27f18f7aefebc0a1b24ad73 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cdfd7037d27f18f7aefebc0a1b24ad73\"><\/div>\n<p>The logical conclusion is that for Kamala to have any shot at becoming the first American black\/Jamaican\/Indian woman president, she has to talk about Trump and say nothing about herself, her tenure as vice president currently in the White House, and her first run for president in 2020. All of those things are objectively, demonstrably dismal. There&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/21\/kamala-will-be-the-democrat-nominee-and-will-lose-unless-theres-rampant-foul-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no case to be made<\/a> for Kamala as president, thus she is going to spend the entire debate trying to make a case <em>against <\/em>her opponent. And that leaves her with just three topics to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>One is Jan. 6, sometimes referred to as &ldquo;the only riot Democrats and the media didn&rsquo;t approve of during Trump&rsquo;s presidency.&rdquo; Kamala is going to talk about that with the usual lies her party has told since the day it happened &mdash;&nbsp;&ldquo;armed insurrection,&rdquo; &ldquo;overturn the election,&rdquo; &ldquo;threat to our democracy.&rdquo; Better that than anything that happened in the three-plus years of her administration, which have been marked by hyperinflation, surges in crime, and a highly fatal withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan. (Plus two new wars directly implicating the United States, but we&rsquo;re not keeping score.)<\/p>\n<p>The second is the 2020 election, which Trump legally contested, as Democrats do with election results all the time &mdash; even though they now pretend doing so is unthinkable. Kamala will be eager to instigate an extended defense from Trump about the last presidential election because the media have so thoroughly lied about what happened. Her aim is to prod newspapers and cable news shows to microwave all those same lies for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/programming-alert-gop-first-debate-post-analysis\/\" title=\"GOP First Debate Post Analysis - Programming Alert\">post-debate coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Third is Trump&rsquo;s legal jeopardy, a thing he faces purely at the behest of Kamala&rsquo;s current angry administration and her miserable Democrat Party colleagues in local governments up and down the East Coast. She finally posted an <a href=\"https:\/\/kamalaharris.com\/issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;issues&rdquo; page<\/a> on her campaign website, offering a thin outline of her policy proposals, one of which is ensuring &ldquo;no former president has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House.&rdquo; In other words, as president she&rsquo;ll keep trying to put Trump in prison. Calling him a &ldquo;convicted felon&rdquo; will be 2024&rsquo;s version of &ldquo;I&rsquo;m speaking.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fe749764247103262768152e84a071e5 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fe749764247103262768152e84a071e5\"><\/div>\n<p>Kamala will surely get questions from ABC related to policy, but she will pivot each and every time to one of the three talking points above.

This shift is largely due to voters becoming more familiar with Kamala Harris, who is revealing her shortcomings. This sets the stage for Tuesday&#8217;s debate, which may be the only one between Kamala and Donald Trump throughout the campaign. Expectations are low for Kamala&#8217;s performance; her request for ABC to keep both candidates&#8217; microphones on during the debate was denied, and her recent national TV interview with CNN highlighted her lack of vision and governance skills.<\/p>\n<p>For Kamala to have any chance at becoming the first Black\/Jamaican\/Indian woman president, she will likely focus on criticizing Trump rather than discussing her own record as vice president or her previous presidential run in 2020\u2014both of which have been disappointing. Consequently, she has three main topics to address during the debate.<\/p>\n<p>First is January 6th, which she will frame using familiar Democratic narratives like &#8220;armed insurrection&#8221; and &#8220;threats to democracy,&#8221; avoiding discussion of issues that have arisen during her administration such as inflation and crime rates.<\/p>\n<p>Second is Trump&#8217;s legal challenges, which she attributes directly to actions taken by her administration and fellow Democrats. She aims to provoke Trump into defending his actions regarding the 2020 election while hoping media outlets will amplify these narratives post-debate.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, she&#8217;ll likely emphasize that no former president should be immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office\u2014a stance aimed at continuing efforts against Trump legally.<\/p>\n<p>While questions about policy may arise during the debate from ABC reporters, Kamala is expected to redirect every inquiry back to these three points since she lacks a strong case based on her own record. If discussions center around her performance as vice president or other relevant issues, she knows she&#8217;s unlikely to succeed. <\/p>\n<p>Eddie Scarry writes this analysis as a D.C. columnist for The Federalist and author of &#8220;Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2338882,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Vice-President-Kamala-Harris.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32675,40503,36978,32438,3634],"class_list":["post-2338881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-2020-election","tag-debate-strategy","tag-january-6","tag-kamala-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Vice-President-Kamala-Harris.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
