GOP pollster praises Kamala Harris as Donald Trump is 'ducking' debates and interviews

Republican pollster Frank Luntz slammed former President Donald Trump for "ducking" interviews while Vice President Kamala Harris made more media appearances.

During a Tuesday interview on CNBC, Luntz praised Harris for interviewing with CBS's 60 Minutes.

"Well, first off, she is now; took a while, but she's now taking the tough interviews, getting asked the tough questions, and being challenged," Luntz said. "And second, it's actually Donald Trump who's ducking debates and ducking that interview on 60 Minutes that he said he would do and then backed away from. So she gets credit for that."

Luntz said he also wanted to give Harris credit for her use of language.

"In the convention, the Democrats talked about freedom," he recalled. "That's normally a Republican issue. Here, she calls herself, asserts, I am a capitalist. That's something you expect to hear from the Republican candidate, not the Democratic candidate."

"And now she's focused on small business, which has always been a Republican issue," he continued. "She is taking pages out of the Republican playbook."

"According to the New York Times' most recent poll, she's beginning to cut through."
