Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) warned Republicans not to underestimate Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to win her presidential battle against former President Donald Trump.
The senator said he believes Harris “could win,” adding that “Republicans would make a huge mistake by discounting her” during an interview with political commentator Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.
Lee said Harris could be the victor in November partly because he believes the press is on her side. He criticized media outlets for walking back Harris’s label as “border czar,” a title she was commonly referred to after the White House tapped her to address immigration reform at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“They’re scrubbing things she has said in the past,” Lee said during a two-hour segment of the Tucker Carlson Show. “Crazy statements she has made, from defunding the police to aggressive, radical climate change policies, Green New Deal Stuff.”
Lee is worried the press is “papering over” Harris’s record. He said Trump could lose to the vice president “because she’s got this media industrial complex that’s completely behind her.”
