  • Summary

  • In this conversation, Michael interviews Erin Perrine, a Republican strategist, about her career in politics and the upcoming election. They discuss working on the Hill versus working on campaigns, the strengths and weaknesses of Kamala and Trump, the quick shift in the presidential race from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, and the challenges of messaging on abortion and immigration. They also touch on the importance of emotions in politics, the likability factor for Kamala Harris, and the upcoming debates between Harris and Donald Trump. Takeaways Working on the Hill and working on campaigns are two different experiences, but it is possible to do both. The messaging on abortion and immigration is challenging for both Republicans and Democrats. Emotions play a significant role in politics, and voters are motivated by negative ads. Republicans should focus on delivering their message and not try to trap Donald Trump in debates. Democrats need to acknowledge the failures in certain areas, such as the economy and immigration, to resonate with voters. The likability factor is important for Kamala Harris, and she should stay focused on her message during debates. Both the Trump campaign and the Biden-Harris campaign are neck and neck in the race.
