Texas Gov. Abbott reveals which 3 issues Trump should focus on during debate: 'Let Harris talk'
2024-09-07
[FoxNews] Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been in more than a few debates during his decades-long political career.

Abbott won three terms as state attorney general before winning election and two re-elections as Texas governor.

So his advice to former President Trump ahead of Tuesday's first and potentially only debate between the GOP presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris — the Democratic Party's nominee — is "Let Harris talk."

"The more she talks without talking into a teleprompter, the more she shows America that she’s really not up to the task," Abbott emphasized in an interview with Fox News Digital along the sidelines of the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas.

Abbott asserted that "if he [Trump] lets her talk and if he focuses on three issues — one is the border, another is the inflation caused by Harris and [President] Biden, and the other is the rapid crime that we see in some cities, caused by people like Harris and [her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim] Walz — Americans are going to understand the last thing they want to do is to have Kamala Harris running our country, because it would be run into the ground."

The governor endorsed Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination last November — before the start early this year of voting in the Republican primaries — when the two leaders teamed up for an event along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Earlier this week, Abbott was on the campaign trail in battleground Arizona on behalf of Trump. And he says he will continue to make the case for the former president.
