Trump's biggest nightmare: Switch to Kamala Harris leaves Team Trump with regrets about Vance

>>> DEMOCRATS SAY THAT IT IS RACIST FOR ME TO SAY -- THEY ARE GOING TO CALL THAT RACIST. >> OKAY. HOW THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS HANDLING THE NEWS FROM THE LAST 36 HOURS AGO, YOU CAN HEAR JD VANCE ROCKING THE HOUSE . HIS FULL'S DAY OF CAMPAIGNING. THESE HEADLINES A FEW DAYS APART. FROM TIM ALBERTA FROM THE ATLANTIC MAGAZINE. EARLIER THIS MONTH HE PUBLISHED THIS IMPORTANT PIECE. THE RESULT OF MONTHS OF REPORTING FROM INSIDE THE CAMP PAIN. HE IS CAMPAIGNING FOR A LANDSLIDE WIN. HIS CAMPAIGN IS ALL BUT PRAYING THAT JOE BIDEN DOES NOT DROP OUT. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. TODAY, HERE IS HIS LATEST PIECE THAT JOE BIDEN DID DROP OUT AND ENDORSED KAMALA HARRIS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE TEAM FEARED. OPTIMIZED TO BEAT JOE BIDEN MUST BE REINVENTED. IN THE NEW POLITICAL WORLD THAT HAS CRACKED OPEN IN THE LAST DAY AND A HALF, THERE IS A SPECIFIC REGRET BUBBLING IN TRUMP WORLD, THAT A FAR RIGHT FRESHMAN SENATOR NO ONE HAS REALLY HEARD OF WAS CREATED IN A LAB BY TECH BILLIONAIRES OPPOSED TO DEMOCRACY AND WOMEN HAVING THE RIGHT TO VOTE, MAYBE THAT GUY WAS NOT THE IDEAL CHOICE TO BE DONALD TRUMP'S VICE PRESIDENT PICK. REPUBLICANS HAVE THIS THING IN THE BAG. TIM ALBERTA WRITING THAT THE MOST STRIKING THING I'VE HEARD FROM ALLIES WAS THE SECOND- GUESSING OF JD VANCE . A SELECTION THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED WAS BORN OF COCKINESS. AND A BLOWOUT INSTEAD OF PERSUADING VOTERS IN A NAILBITER. >> I WAS STRUCK BY THAT PARTICULAR LINE. JOINING ME IS TIM ALBERTA. I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU COULD PLEASE ELABORATE ON THE BUYERS REMORSE IN THE CAMPAIGN AROUND JD VANCE . AND ALSO SEEING THAT YOU HAVE A MAGIC EIGHT BALL THAT NONE OF US POSSESS , WHAT KIND OF RESIDENTIAL PICK IS TEAM TRUMP MOST CONCERNED ABOUT AS NOMINEE HARRIS IS MAKING HER DELIBERATION? >> GOOD EVENING, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. LET ME TAKE THE FIRST PART ABOUT BUYERS REMORSE. THAT IS OVERSTATING IT. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY HAVING A MELTDOWN INSIDE OF TRUMP HQ AT THIS POINT. CERTAINLY, WHAT I HAVE DETECTED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS IS A LITTLE BIT OF SECOND-GUESSING IN A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTERFACTUAL THAT EVERYONE IS THINKING ABOUT HERE, IF YOU PLACE THE SELECTION OF JD VANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, DONALD TRUMP WAS ALWAYS OPERATING ON A PARALLEL TRACK THINKING ABOUT HIS RUNNING MATE. HE WAS THINKING ABOUT A VANILLA NONCONFRONTATIONAL CARETAKER TYPE, CAN PROVIDE REASSURANCE TO VOTERS THAT WERE ON THE FENCE ABOUT HIM AND THAT IS WHERE DOUG BURGUM WAS REALLY APPEALING. ON THE OTHER TRACK, IT WAS THE THOUGHT OF PICKING SOMEONE WHO WAS BOLD, SOMEONE IDEOLOGY UNCLE AND SOMEONE WHO CAN BE HEIR APPARENT TO THE EMPIRE AND THAT IS WHERE DONALD TRUMP BECAME ENAMORED WITH THE IDEA OF PICKING JD VANCE . WHAT I WAS TOLD, FOR MUCH OF THE CAMPAIGN, HE WAS REALLY LEANING IN THE FIRST DIRECTION TOWARDS A DOUG BURGUM LIKE CANDIDATE. IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL THAT AS THE CAMPAIGN MORE RECENTLY OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS OR SO, AS THE CAMPAIGN REALLY FELT LIKE IT WAS PULLING AWAY AND GETTING INTO A POSITION NOT TO JUST TO JOE BIDEN, BUT BLOW HIM OUT AND HAVE THE SENATE BE IN A POSITION TO REALLY PASS DRAMATIC GOVERNING AGENDAS THAT THEY HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE FIRST TERM, THAT IS WHEN TRUMP REALLY BEGAN TO CONVINCE HIMSELF AND PEOPLE AROUND HIM THAT WE COULD GO WITH SOMEONE LIKE JD VANCE . WITH BIDEN GETTING OUT AND THE RACE REAL SETTING IN THIS WAY THERE IS SECOND-GUESSING. IF IN FACT JD VANCE ISN'T ABLE TO PIECE TOGETHER A MORE COMPETENT CAMPAIGN AND TAKE THIS DOWN TO THE WIRE WITH DRUM, THEY WILL THINK TO THEMSELVES, CAN JD VANCE REALLY HELP US WITH SUBURBAN SWING VOTERS THAT ARE ON THE FENCE IN THE WAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE? TO THAT SAME POINT, THIS IS WHERE KAMALA HARRIS IS THE NOMINEE AND HER SELECTION OF A RUNNING MATE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE ESPECIALLY WORRIED ABOUT MARK KELLY FROM ARIZONA AND JOHN SHAPIRO FROM PENNSYLVANIA. BOTH OF THOSE GENTLEMEN ARE ABLE TO PUT INTO PLAY A BATTLEGROUND STATE WHERE FOLKS WERE CONFIDENT THIS HAD BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MAP. JD VANCE DOUBLES DOWN ON THE CORE STRENGTHS OF TRUMP. OHIO IS ALREADY IN THE BAG. HE HAS APPEAL IN OTHER STATES. FRANKLY, TRUMP PEOPLE 48 HOURS AGO WERE TALKING ABOUT EXPANDING THE MATH AND PLAYING IN VIRGINIA, MINNESOTA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, RUNNING UP THE ELECTORAL SCORE. AT THIS POINT NOW, THEY RECOGNIZE THAT IF KAMALA HARRIS GETS HER ACT TOGETHER TO UNIFY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND IF SHE ADDS SOMEONE TO THE TICKET, SUDDENLY THAT MAP IS CONTRACTING BACK DOWN AND TRUMP IS PLAYING DEFENSE IN THE STATES THAT HE THOUGHT WERE ALREADY PUT AWAY. >> THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE REPORTING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WILL LOOK TO YOU TO DO IT. WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE CAMPAIGN THAT WAS OPTIMIZED AROUND JOE BIDEN. TIM ALBERTA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING. RACHEL? >> WE ARE LUCKY THAT HE IS EMBEDDED IN THAT CAMPAIGN AND DEVELOP THOSE RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED SO THAT WE CAN SEE THROUGH HIM THE WAY THEY HAVE REACTED TO IT. IT'S FASCINATING. >> DEEP INSIDE
