'People are over it': Ex-White House staffer explains why Trump's insults aren't landing

Donald Trump has been overriding his advisers to attack Kamala Harris instead of focusing on their policy differences, but a former White House staffer doubts that will persuade voters.The former president has always trafficked in sneering insults and bluster, but CNN's Kate Bedingfield said those attacks don't seem to land on Harris quite as effectively as his previous rival Hillary Clinton or even President Joe Biden."We're seeing time and again, people are over it – they don't want that," said Bedingfield, a former White House communications director for Biden. "He had this kind of shock-and-awe value in 2016 where he came on the scene, and it sort of, you know, Democrats were arguing it was hateful and divisive and awful then, but it felt different, and I think that was part of what was appealing to some people."ALSO READ: ‘Stop the Steal’ organizer hired by Trump campaign for Election 2024 endgame"Remember, but also, let's be clear, he also won very narrowly in 2016," Bedingfield added. "I just think people are over it, they're tired of it and I think what Harris is doing so effectively is presenting this forward-looking message.
