former Chief of Staff to Donald Trump and former head of the RNC ABC News contributor RS prus also here with us tonight and and rs the Trump campaign has been reported would have preferred to continue to run against President Biden is is that the case well I look I I think they'll take it either way but certainly Joe Biden was was hemorrhaging and it's obvious and tonight one of the most remarkable things about this speech was that that Joe Biden didn't address the elephant in the room he didn't explain to anyone listening why in fact he decided to step down a month ago we saw a disastrous debate and then a week after that all of the Democratic Leadership were saying that that Joe Biden was sharp as attack and he didn't address what happened this weekend why did he decide to step down and it's very clear we all know the answer the answer he decided to step down was that this was a political decision he decided that he didn't think he could win and so he handpicked his vice president and and and someone that didn't receive a single vote in a primary never received a delegate uh certainly she's accomplished she's a former You Know da attorney general Senator I don't have a beef with that but clearly this was a political decision and and it's very bizarre to me that he didn't address the elephant in the room which is his health and if he's not healthy to run is he healthy to be president I'm not making an accusation I'm just saying he should have addressed that issue tonight and he did not I'm curious Ry though on the issue of age and you know mental Fitness do you think the Democrats have flipped the switch here now that Donald Trump is the the older candidate in this race at 78 79 years old no I don't think so I mean look I just saw Donald Trump play 18 holes with Bryson uh yesterday and he looked pretty good to me so I don't think this is going to be an issue I do think in the end it will come down to the issues it will come down to the Border it'll come down to the economy Camala Harris is going to have to answer for where we are as a country and what was really driving the bad numbers for Joe Biden in the first place which was gas and groceries the border and the economy so those issues will eventually bubble up it'll be a close race 40,000 votes in three states no doubt about it it'll be nip Nick nip and Tuck from here on out those are modern day presidential elections you believe down to tens of thousands of votes will make this decision in in the key Battlegrounds let me ask you though Ryan you were just uh looking at those numbers too I'm sure Terry Moran reporting on the state of the race you got the reuter zos poll showing kamla Harris nationally and of course this all depends on the Battlegrounds we haven't seen Battleground polling yet K Harris actually leading by two points nationally now the CNN poll uh Donald Trump leading by three points though that that is shrinking significantly from when it was Joe Biden versus Donald Trump uh in the last couple of weeks do what has changed here now withla Harris at the top of the ticket for you as far as Republican strategy she's a shiny new object David I mean she's going to have a little bit of a honeymoon period here we'll see how long it lasts she's got a little bump in the polls not enough to clearly overtake president Trump you know it's it's who knows who's ahead or behind it'll come down to a few votes But ultimately I I really do think that the Democrats dumped one set of baggage off and picked up another because in the end this is going to come down to how people feel about the direction of the country so they're going to do everything they can to make it about Donald Trump Donald Trump's going to make it everything about the economy and and the fact that Harris is is is pretty liberal far more liberal than than than Joe Biden and we'll see where it goes
