Watch: Michael Steele busts out laughing as strategist explains Trump's new voter problem

MSNBC host and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele couldn't control his mirth on Sunday morning after a noted conservative campaign strategist explained Donald Trump's voter woes.

Pressing Stuart Stevens about his comments in a Politico article regarding Vice President Kamala Harris' path to victory, the consultant was asked about the changed landscape for Trump.

According to Stevens, the ex-president will have to scramble for more white voters.

"Trump did better with white women in 2020 than he did in 2016," he began. "He went from 2 percent winning white women to winning them by 7 percent. At the same time he dropped with white men from 30 percent in '16 to 17 percent in '20. I think that is where this battleground is going to be."

"I think that Harris has increased a percentage of nonwhite voters who are going to be in this race," he added. "I have never been worried that Trump was taking more African-Americans. In 1964 [Barry] Goldwater got 7 percent. In 2020, of African American votes, Trump got 8 percent — that is one point every 56 years. That is not going to change."

At that point Steele and his "The Weekend" co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend began laughing.

"What will the percentage of the white vote be?" Stevens continued. "Overall in the electorate what will Trump's share be? Trump needs to be north of 57 percent of the white vote to win this race, probably more like 58 percent. I think it is going to be very interesting to see their increasingly desperate ways to try to get that vote."

Trump caught 'struggling' in Saturday night speech as he tries to rant about Biden

According to a report from CNN's Alayna Treene, the change from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrat's likely presidential candidate is creating problems for Donald Trump on the stump.

Reporting from St. Cloud, Minnesota, where Trump held a rally late Saturday night, Treene reported on a "notable" moment in the ex-president's Saturday speech where he was clearly "struggling."

Speaking with CNN hosts Victor Blackwell and Amara Walker, Treene explained that Trump is on unsure footing on how exactly to attack Harris, with the correspondent telling the hosts, "He also made some personal attacks on her saying that, going after her laugh when he was comparing her to perhaps Margaret Thatcher saying Margaret Thatcher didn't laugh like that."
