MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow looks at how Trump appears to have caused Kari Lake, one of his most loyal supporters, to lose a crucial endorsement
Rachel Maddow opened Monday’s episode of her MSNBC show with a look at the differences between the Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns, especially with Harris polling much more strongly than Trump in many critical states.
As part of this, Maddow took a detour into how in recent months, Trump’s public events have been “getting a little bit weird,” using as an example a bizarre rally on Friday in which Trump may have sabotaged one of his most fervent supporters.
To get there, Maddow first noted how narrow this race is, even if Harris is consistently polling slightly ahead of Trump. “When it is this close, little differences between the candidates and their campaigns can make a very interesting, not only for an interesting contrast but can make a big difference,” Maddow said.
As one example, she brought up how Trump keeps trying to find a way out of debating Harris on Sept. 10, and how Harris’ campaign has started trolling him on social media about it. His campaign, Maddow opined, “may try to get all the way to the election without a single debate.
