Introduction
Bringing in now, Frank Luntz, an American consultant and pollster, good evening to you Frank. It was of course the polls that perhaps many of his advisers took to President Biden to show him that at this stage he was being damaged in this US presidential race.
Poll Results and Concerns
Frank Luntz confirms that survey after survey showed Biden already losing more than half of the key swing states and in danger of losing the ones that could give him victory. What's most alarming for the Biden administration was the potential impact on House races, Senate races, and down-ticket elections. The public took a look at him and, while they respect his presidency and him as a human being, they felt he had lost the ability to do the job. They wanted another choice.
Vice President Harris's Image
Frank Luntz mentions that he is currently gathering focus group footage of swing voters' opinions on Vice President Kamala Harris. The feedback is not particularly positive and could significantly influence whether the Democrats should simply grant her the nomination because she is the apparent heir, or whether they should open up the process. Vice President Harris's numbers are not particularly favorable; they are similar to Joe Biden's, and the Trump campaign might be excited about the opportunity to run against her.
Nomination Process Debate
Frank Luntz says there is uncertainty about whether it will be a direct coronation for Harris or a different process. He has spoken to several people who are concerned that a direct coronation may not work and that a better process might be necessary. One suggestion is that at the Democratic Convention, they should present several candidates who want to run for president and then decide who the nominee should be.
Democratic Sentiments
Frank Luntz opts to stay away from policy but confirms that Democrats would be extremely upset if they were told that the person they did not necessarily vote for, but still feel favorable towards, is being forced upon them. Democrats and independents who lean Democratic would prefer to make the choice themselves. Although the situation is chaotic and unprecedented with no current process, Luntz has spoken to three potential Democratic candidates who indicate that a coronation would be damaging for Vice President Harris. It would be better for her to earn the nomination through debates, conversations, and a convention rather than it simply being bestowed upon her.
Conclusion
Frank Luntz concludes by emphasizing that it's crucial for Vice President Harris to go through an earning process, as it will benefit her and the Democratic Party more in the long run.
