Hogan Gidley on Newsmax: GOP Makes ‘Good Move’ by Focusing on VP Harris
Former White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley believes that Republican presidential candidates are making a strategic move by highlighting the possibility of Vice President Kamala Harris assuming the presidency if President Joe Biden wins another term. Gidley, who served in the Trump administration, predicts that Harris will be a target for Republicans in the 2024 race. He argues that including the prospect of Harris becoming president strengthens the Republican argument for why they should be in power instead of Biden. Gidley points out that Harris was not popular within the Democratic party and had made critical comments about Biden during the debates. He emphasizes that Harris is one heartbeat away from the Oval Office and suggests that the chances of her assuming the presidency increase due to Biden’s perceived decline both mentally and physically. Gidley concludes by stating that it is a well-known strategy among knowledgeable politicians and smart candidates to highlight the potential of Harris becoming president if Biden is reelected.
