Former Sen. Claire McCaskill Makes 'Bold Prediction' About Trump Home Stretch Strategy
HuffPost
The ex-Democratic senator drew a stark and damning contrast between the former president and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris.
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Wednesday predicted that former President Donald Trump will now — until Election Day on Nov. 5 — only be interviewed by people who are “in the tank” for him.
McCaskill, appearing on Chris Hayes’ MSNBC show, drew a stark contrast between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris “walking into Fox News and saying, ‘Bring it’” and Republican rival Trump’s “totally in the tank” so-called town hall with Fox’s Harris Faulkner.
McCaskill made the “bold prediction” that Trump is “so scared” that he won’t appear on MSNBC or CNN or with anyone who isn’t 100% friendly.
Trump “is now just going to be in his cocoon, his bubble, because I tell you, if he were strong and brave right now, he’d be signing up to an interview with you, Chris Hayes,” she added.
