Trump-Harris debate: Sen Rick Scott identifies 'biggest thing' that can help former president

Sen. Rick Scott said it would be ideal for former President Donald Trump if Vice President Kamala Harris "could talk 99% of the time" during Tuesday's Philadelphia debate.

"It'll be interesting to see which Kamala Harris shows up," Scott told Fox News Digital. "The Harris that has been part of the Biden administration that has opened the border, ruined the economy and … stopped supporting Israel and allowed Iran to have all the weapons, or is it a new Harris that, you know, that believes the border ought to be secure, and we ought to get inflation under control by allowing free markets to work … allowing oil and gas production in this country so we can get the gas prices down. So it'll be interesting to see which Harris shows up." Danielle Wallace is a breaking news and politics reporter at Fox News Digital.

"I think the biggest thing is make sure that Harris talks," Scott, a Trump 2024 campaign surrogate, said. "When she talks, no one, almost nobody agrees with her – maybe some socialists would. So I think the biggest thing is for her to talk about her ideas, whether it's to talk about the border, talk about the economy, talk about foreign policy ... there is no logic to her thought process."

"When she talks about price controls, that just means product shortages," the senator said during a phone interview Monday morning. "When she talks about the border, people say, 'Well, why didn't she do it now?' And because everything she says she's going to do, I mean, I think the first reaction everybody has is 'Well, why didn't you do it?'"
