Trump taps former Dem presidential candidate who torched Kamala on stage in 2019 for debate prep
SUMMARY
Former President Donald Trump is turning to ex-Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for debate preparation ahead of his upcoming face-off with Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard, who gained national attention for her scathing critique of Harris during the 2020 Democratic primary debates, is reportedly assisting Trump as he gears up for the September 10th debate in Philadelphia. During the 2019 debate, Gabbard slammed Harris's record as California's attorney general, accusing her of harshly prosecuting minor drug offenses and keeping innocent people on death row. Gabbard's pointed attack left a lasting impact, with many noting how effectively she "eviscerated" Harris. Trump's campaign acknowledges Gabbard's effectiveness, with National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating, "President Trump...will continue to meet with respected policy advisors and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage in 2020."
