"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. She's been in the White House for four years, she has accomplishments to talk about and she's managing to frame the race, though, as one of hope, possibility, change, which is typically a harder argument for an incumbent to make, and she's nailing it."Watch below or click the link here.- YouTubeyoutu.be
