Kamala Harris needs this debate more than Trump, expert warns

♪ ♪ WILL: VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS EMERGING FROM INTENSE DEBATE PREP IN PITTSBURGH TO VISIT A LOCAL SPICE SHOP SHARING WHAT SHE WANTS TO BE THE MAIN IF TAKEAWAY WHEN SHE FACES FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> WELL, THERE'S A LOT THAT -- LOOK, IT'S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE ON THE DIVISIVENESS. IT'S TIME TO BRING OUR COUNTRY TOGETHER. CHART A NEW WAY FORWARD. WILL: AFTER FIVE DAYS OF, QUOTE, HIGH LIQUOR YO GRAPHED CAN DEBATE PRACTICE SESSIONS COMPLETE WITH A STAGE, TV LIGHTING AND A BOB TRUMP METHOD ACTOR. HERE TO REACT IS KAYLEE MCGHEE WHITE WITH US THIS MORNING. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. KAMALA HARRIS AND DONALD TRUMP, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HERE IN THE SHOW THE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES THEY HAVE. HERS WILL BE LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SUBSTANCE, HUSBAND WILL BE ABOUT STYLE AND HOW HE APPROACHES A FEMALE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. HOW DO YOU SEE THE PREP FOR BOTH CANDIDATES? >> WELL, I THINK THAT THAT IT'S CLEAR KAMALA HARRIS NEEDS THIS DEBATE MORE THAN DONALD TRUMP, AND IF THAT WEREN'T THE CASE, I DON'T THINK HER TEAM WOULD HAVE AGREED TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR INTERNAL POLLING. SHE NEEDS THIS DEBATE BECAUSE SHE'S FAILED TO PROVE HOW SHE'S DIFFERENT FROM JOE BIDEN, AND SHE'S EVEN FAILED TO PROVE HOW SHE'S DIFFERENT THAN DONALD TRUMP TO THE A CERTAIN EXTENT OR CONSIDERING THE FEW POLICIES SHE'S RELEASED ARE ALSO TRUMP POWELLS. -- POLICIES. I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S QUITE TELLING THAT HER TEAM IS ALREADY SETTING THE BAR LOW FOR HER SAYING SHE'S AT A KISS ADVANTAGE. I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH HEM ON. THAT HOWEVER, NOT BECAUSE OF THE RULES AS THEY'VE CLAIMED, BUT BECAUSE AS YOU GUYS KNOW, WHEN WE'RE PREPARING FOR A PANEL WITH SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO THE CHALLENGE US ON OUR BELIEF OR WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE CHALLENGING, THAT'S A SORT OF MUSCLE THAT YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE REGULARLY TO BE GOOD AT. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME KAMALA HARRIS WAS IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT TAKING CHALLENGING QUESTIONS? WILL: RIGHT. >> PROBABLY BACK IN 2019 WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT THE LAST TIME. SHE HAS NOT DONE THIS IN FOUR YEARS. WILL: RIGHT. >> AND THERE'S ALSO THE DISADVANTAGE FOR HER THAT THE LONGER SHE'S EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC, THE MORE PEOPLE CAN DISLIKE HER. AGAIN, WE SAW THIS PLAY OUT IN 2019, AND IT SEEMS TO BE PLAYING OUT EXACTLY -- WILL: BECAUSE OF THAT, I WOULD HAVE DISAGREED WITH YOU ABOUT SHE NEEDS THIS DEBATE MORE THAN DONALD TRUMP. I DO THINK IT'S THEIR STRATEGY, SEEMS UNDENIABLE, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S A DUMB STRATEGY TO KEEP HER AWAY FROM EVERYBODY, JUST DON'T EXPOSE HER. DON'T EXPOSE HER LACK OF SPONTANEITY, HER POLICIES. SO THE DEBATE IS A MOMENT WHERE SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE EXPOSED. IN A WAY, I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT FOR DONALD TRUMP, THIS DEBATE, BECAUSE I THINK SHE'D RATHER STAY HIDDEN, BUT THE POLLS ARE MOVING. THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S STARTING TO BECOME MORE IMPORTANT. THE HIDE STRATEGY THE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING AS GOOD AS IT DID BEFORE. SHE WAS AT A SPICE SHOP YESTERDAY, AND SHE SAYS THE NUMBER ONE THING IS TO MOVE BEYOND DIVISIVENESS OR, BUT YET THIS SPICE IF SHOP, WHO IS THIS SPICE IF SHOP IN PITTSBURGH, THEY PUBLISHED, HEY, IF YOU'RE REPUBLICAN, WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BUSINESS. VERY DIVISIVE STUFF ON THEIR WEB SITE. IT'S A FASCINATING PLACE TO ALL OF A SUDDEN GO I WANT TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. JUST NOT OVER SPICES, I GUESS. >> YEAH. THIS IS THE PARTY OF JOY, RIGHT? I CAN JUST FEEL IT COMING FROM THIS SPICE SHOP AND FROM EVERYONE ELSE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND, AGAIN, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THEY'RE COMPLETELY HYPOCRITICAL ON THEIR MESSAGE. THEY GOWPT AT THE DNC AND PREACHED THIS MESSAGE OF UNITY, AND EVEN KAMALA HIGHWAYS EYE -- KAMALA'S SAYING IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, UNLESS YOU DISAGREE WITH HOW VIEWPOINT. THIS IS ACTUALLY, AGAIN, A DISADVANTAGE FOR KAMALA IN THAT THIS IS HER ONLY MESSAGE. SHE HAS NO POLICIES TO RUN ON AS OF RIGHT NOW, SO SHE ONLY HAS THIS MESSAGE OF JOY. AND YET HER OWN PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY UNDERMINING THAT. WILL: KAYLEE BROUGHT UP THE RULES OF DEBATE, PETE AND I AR
