The campaign of formal President Donald Trump has to crush the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and avoid topics that do not matter, Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson has warned.

He spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity and explained that the former president’s campaign has to act quick to explain to the voters who the vice president is and what her policies are.

“This isn’t a normal year. She didn’t have the two years to come clean. There is only 90 days so this is a 2020 Biden strategy. Keep her in the basement of the way they did Biden, no interviews, no impromptu rallies, nothing except scripted and then rely on 70 percent of the people in these swing states not voting on election day. And then like old Joe Biden from Scranton transmogrify her into a moderate and hide her real political allegiance and record. You only have 90 days. Donald Trump doesn’t have one second to waste. He’s got to call her out again and again on her record, on what the most liberal record in the Senate, what these positions were due to the country. I know that all the other things we are looking at, her racial identity or her liaisons in San Francisco but they are not important,” he said.

He gave the same warning when he spoke to Fox Business co-host Dagen McDowell.

“That’s going to be the central issue of the campaign. Because on the one hand, they don’t have one or two years, they only have 90 days and she’s not going to be allowed, as was Biden not allowed in 2022, to do anything other than teleprompted set speeches in front of receptive audiences,” he said. “They don’t have time to go down all of these cul-de-sacs about ethnic background or cackling, all that. They got to get right to the point and that’s to draw out on all these things they said.”

“The good news she’s never in her life spoke to an oppositional audience. She ran for state office in California, she ran for office in the Bay Area, she had aborted a brief primary candidacy in front of left-wing audiences. In all of those cases, her aim was to be the furthest left on the stage in a left-wing environment,” he said. “It’s not that she said all these things, she emphatically said them, she doubled down on them [and] she stressed that she was a radical. They’re all over the last 20 years in the record.”
