“These are not winning campaign messages. But that is what he does when he feels like he's under attack, is he uses these kinds of lines of defense that don't make much sense for campaigning,” she added.
“I can assure you that his campaign team is telling him to talk about policy. They want him to go out there and talk about the economy and immigration and things that voters actually care about, because I can assure you that none of these things that he's talking about in his rallies, or his Truth Social posts, are things that are top of mind for most voters,” Matthews pointed out.
