Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gives former President Trump some advice ahead of next week's 2024 presidential election debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
LAS VEGAS — Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been in more than a few debates during his decades-long political career. Abbott won three terms as state attorney general before winning election and two re-elections as Texas governor. So his advice to former President Trump ahead of Tuesday's first and potentially only debate between the GOP presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris — the Democratic Party's nominee — is 'Let Harris talk.
Abbott asserted that 'if he lets her talk and if he focuses on three issues — one is the border, another is the inflation caused by Harris and Biden, and the other is the rapid crime that we see in some cities, caused by people like Harris and Walz — Americans are going to understand the last thing they want to do is to have Kamala Harris running our country, because it would be run into the ground.
Abbott charged that 'Americans need to learn the reality, both of how the policy changed under Biden and Harris and what Kamala Harris would do to pretty much put America on a pathway of destruction.' If the former president wins back his old job, Abbott predicts a second Trump term would be productive.
During his first term, we worked well, especially on border security-based issues. But it’s going to be better this time in part because he will come to office knowing far more than he did when he entered office last time, knowing which levers to pull, what can be done, and the strategies and how to quickly take care of it,' the governor said. 'I’ve talked to him in recent times about what his plans are.
