TRANSCRIPT
 Do you have any politicians that you think would have the greatest chance of taking on Trump in November?
I think a couple of thoughts that maybe aren't, you know, kind of in the mainstream. One is I think Kamala Harris is more formidable than a lot of people think.
She's got the support of the African American community in the United States. That's a big deal for Democrats. That is a super important constituency for them. They cannot just disregard that at all, then they're going to be in deep, deep trouble. So I think her, I would pay very close attention to her. Her public appearances have not been fantastic, to be frank, and she's not viewed as a major, political talent, but that kind of lowering of expectations can help her going forward.
