00:00I do now want to flip to the other side of the race, Trump and JD Vance.

00:05As you said, a vice presidential pick rarely helps, sometimes hurts.

00:12Is that the case with JD Vance?

00:13Because we've seen a few missteps here on social media with his comment about diet Mountain

00:18Dew.

00:19We saw resurfaced comments about calling Democratic leaders cat ladies if they don't have kids.

00:26I mean, is he dragging down the ticket?

00:31I would say that the spotlight is not on JD Vance right now.

00:34And these are, you know, early gaffes that are being picked up more by the media than

00:40by the general electorate.

00:43The big question that voters will decide on in November is who is more qualified to serve

00:50as president.

00:52And right now, when we ask that question, and put, you know, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris,

00:59don't know his options, 44% Trump say it's Trump that's most qualified to serve as president.

01:0641% say it's Harris.

01:08So she's behind by three points, 11% say neither and 5% are sure or don't know.

01:16Ultimately voters will vote for who's at the top of the ticket.

01:20First and foremost, majority of the time, if not all the time.

01:24And this is really what needs to be the focus of attention over the next few weeks.

01:31How does Kamala Harris reintroduce herself on the issues, especially given that she inherits

01:40unhappy electorate on a whole array of issues, especially when it comes to inflation and

01:46immigration.

01:47Those are two key issues or core battleground issues that we have to keep an eye out on.
