He highlighted that Harris, despite a strong\u2064 start to her campaign, has not\u2063 effectively answered voters&#8217; lingering questions about her \u200dpolicies and identity. After initially avoiding media interviews, her recent media\u2064 strategy seems\u200b to have created some visibility, \u2063but Wallace believes more \u200bclarity and connection with voters are needed. He noted that the race remains tight, particularly \u200cin swing states, suggesting Harris must regain \u200cmomentum to ensure her effectiveness as a candidate.  <\/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\">Chris Wallace suggests Kamala Harris has yet to &lsquo;close the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-dem-minds-are-freaking-out-about-kamala\/\" title=\"Top Dem Minds Are Freaking Out About Kamala\">sale&#038;rsquo<\/a>; with voters<\/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_1836185\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/1567931\/former-fox-news-host-chris-wallace-sees-worst-ratings-month-since-cnn-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Chris Wallace<\/a> recommended Vice President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> learn to &ldquo;close the sale&rdquo; while on the <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>campaign <\/a>trail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris has three weeks until Election Day and has only been on the campaign trail for three months.
