Jesse Watters claims Kamala Harris is ‘nervous’ ahead of presidential debate as he mocks her preparations
WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Jesse Watters recently shed light on what he describes as a tumultuous preparation phase for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her upcoming debate on ABC News.
Watters’ commentary, delivered on 'Jesse Watters Primetime', suggests that Harris' camp is facing significant challenges as she gears up for her first presidential debate, a new arena for the VP who has only participated in vice presidential debates previously.
Jesse Watters mocks Kamala Harris has 'never been' in a presidential debate before
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face each other in their first presidential debate on September 10, Tuesday. The debate will be hosted by ABC News.
Jesse Watters began by critiquing Harris' debate preparation, highlighting that the Vice President is reportedly feeling more pressure than ever before.
“It’s the last night of debate camp for Kamala,” Watters noted, “And the camp counselors are leaking.”
Watters emphasized that Harris has never faced the unique dynamics of a presidential debate.
"Debate camp must not be going well because now they're setting expectations really low. She's never been in a presidential debate before. It's been a vice presidential debate, but never a presidential debate."
"So I do think she is going to probably be a little bit more nervous. I think she has more riding on it. Whatever happened to Mrs Say It To My Face? She's been in debate camp for a week rehearsing zingers and watching old game tape," he said.
Jesse Watters details Kamala Harris' intensive debate preparation
Jesse Watters further elaborated on Kamala Harris’ intensive preparation regimen, noting that she has reportedly watched and memorized President Trump's debate performances and sought advice from former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
“Kamala's so nervous she's watched all of Trump's debates, memorized his insults, and is now calling Hillary for help. But the ghost of Joe Biden still haunts her behind the scenes," he said.
"Harris says she feels handcuffed by the debate rules that Biden set. They wanted to create a moment when Trump interrupted her. But now they're rewriting their playbook. They've even turned her hotel room into a movie set with TV, lighting and method actors.”
Watters also speculated that Harris’ strategy might be more focused on presentation than on substance.
“A Hillary loyalist is not just playing Donald Trump, but inhabiting him, wearing a boxy suit and a long tie. Kamala is even practicing the handshake, if there is one. Insiders say don't expect substance out of Kamala tomorrow night. Her plan is to tap dance around the Biden record, embrace the good stuff, and distance herself from the bad," said Watters.
This will be the second presidential debate of the 2024 election. In the first debate between Joe Biden and Trump held on June 27 and hosted by CNN, the POTUS had an abysmal performance.
