AND BEFORE WE SEND YOU THAT PBS NEWS HOUR, CONVENTION COVERAGE WANT TO GET SOME FINAL THOUGHTS FROM OUR STUDIO GUEST JOE WALSTON PASTOR COREY BROOKS FIRST, PASTOR.
BROOKS OVER TO YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN APPEARS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH MESSAGING AND IT'S OFFENSIVE LINE OF ATTACK AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS SAYING THAT THEY PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO IDENTITY POLITICS.
ALWAYS FOCUSING ON OUR BLACKNESS OR WHETHER SHE'S ASIAN OR THE FACT THAT TIME ABOUT ISSUES CONCERNING ARE BEING A WOMAN.
I THINK THOSE ISSUES TAKE AWAY FROM THE POLICIES.
I THINK THAT WE WOULD JUST FOCUS MORE FROM ONE IMMIGRATION, WHICH IS A BIG THING.
AND THAT'S A CONCERN FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT WOULD DRIVE HOME A BETTER MESSAGE.
BUT I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER MESSAGING AT AFTER THIS CONVENTION.
HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HONE IN WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.
IMMIGRATION, EDUCATION, ECONOMICS ALL DAY LONG.
TRUMP'S LIKE A CHILD.
HE WANTED TO RUN.
HE CAN SPY.
HE STILL WANTS TO RUN AGAINST BIDEN.
SO HE GOES OUT THERE EVERY DAY.
HE COMPLAINS AND STOMPS HIS FEET LIKE A CHILD THAT THE TRUTH IS THE BIDEN TRUMP MATCHUP WAS A MATCHUP THAT MOST AMERICANS DIDN'T THE DEMOCRATS DID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AND THEY'VE GENERATED A LOT OF EXCITEMENT INTO A RACE IN WHICH WE DIDN'T EXPECT A LOT OF EXCITEMENT.
SHOW US WHAT YOU THINK VOTERS NEED TO HEAR TONIGHT FROM THE LINEUP OF SPEAKERS THAT WE'RE HEARING FROM.
I THINK THEY NEED CONTINUE TO HEAR HOPE AND OPTIMISM.
ENJOY.
AND I KNOW WE OVERUSE THAT WORD A LITTLE BIT.
BUT TO COUNTER IT AGAINST THE FEAR THAT TRUMP AND JD VANCE CONTINUE TO PUSH.
DO YOU THINK THAT THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS FOR THAT MATTER NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR ABOUT HER POLICY IDEAS AND HER PLATFORM.
YES, AND I THINK SHE WILL BE.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S COMING THIS WEEK?
I THINK BETTER HAD BETTER WE PAST A BROOKS 10 SECONDS.
REMAINS TO BE SEEN?
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN.
