Biden Out, Harris In: “This Is Exactly What the Trump Team Feared” | Amanpour and Company

Published 2024-07-24
Tim Alberta has had a front-row seat at what has been a dramatic turn of events for Donald Trump and his team. Alberta spent months behind the scenes of Trump's campaign, and just two weeks ago reported that they were planning for a landslide victory -- on the condition Joe Biden didn't drop out. Now that their worst fears have come true, Alberta discusses with us how the Trump campaign is shifting its approach to confront a new Democratic nominee.

    Now it is decrepit Donald Trump against a younger and way more energetic Kamala Harris.
  • @brucebelyea7433
    Trump’s chances dropped off a cliff with 2025 announcement.
  • @RetiredGuy-j4x
    I live in one of the reddest counties in the US. After a party like atmosphere, during the RNC convention, people here are very subdued. No Trump flags. No red hats. Very few open gun carriers. The “Base” sees the writing on the wall…
  • @jhcali71
    I’m sorry, I have doubts of young people being motivated to vote for Trump after learning about Project 2025’s objectives. Polls have been off for years now especially when abortion is on the ballot.
  • @garydare2238
    The Trump campaign got more MAGA with JD Vance and now becomes more deplorable with the racist & sexist attacks on Kamala Harris (awkward with Usha Vance!) so their support will shrink ...
  • @cherylalt101
    Of course trumpers were united around their hero, it's a damn cult lol. This guy is annoying the hell out of me.
  • @l.sawyer6061
    This is ridiculous. What the hell is Trump‘s vision… Why is it that everybody saying that Biden and HARRIS had no vision …they talk about it all the time
  • @ninemoonplanet
    From outside of the US it's fascinating to watch. Some howling with indignation, others cheering and dancing. Certainly unexpected turns of events.
  • I highly recommend tim Alberta's book. He chronicles his experiences with his father (trumpet 🎺 supporter) and members of his church A great insight into the sb's that support trumpet at the expense of personal and familial relationships. Unfortunately, I've also experienced hardship by my Ex. Yeah women that support the SB 45 are WORSE than the men. Hopefully trumpet will be defeated SOUNDLY for the sake of our Republic 🇺🇸
  • Nobody can wear a grey t-shirt like Bianna. She could wear a paper bag and still look amazing, haha
  • I doubt they even had the forethought to fear such an event as Kamala Harris.
  • @GmaMom
    It’s all about power and money!!
  • You have such a stylish design! What programs do you prefer for creating graphics? 💚🍓
