Harris says ‘of course’ her team is prepared if Trump declares victory before votes are counted
Harris says ‘of course’ her team is prepared if Trump declares victory before votes are counted
That’s not what I heard.
“We’ve got two weeks to go, and I’m very much grounded in the present. We will deal with election night and the days after as they come, and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well”
She’s saying they have a bunch of capable people who’ll figure it out on the fly.
That’s called improvising. Improvising is exactly the opposite of a plan. It’s what you do when you have no plan.
If you look at Harris’ history of how she runs her staff, that’s just not what she does. She tends to over prepare to the point of exhaustion. This is sometimes portrayed in the press as “Harris is hard on her staff”, but then you look at the details and it’s more that she expects a lot out of them.
Of course she doesn’t go into details in an interview. It would both bore people watching, and there’s no reason to give the plan away at this point.
