Former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill is filled with glee as Vice President Kamala Harris takes on Donald Trump.
During the MSNBC show "Deadline White House" on Monday, host Nicolle Wallace called it "a phenomenon of a woman being underestimated." Meanwhile, Wallace talked about Harris' "political acumen" and "how much better she is than anyone expected."
McCaskill called the Harris smackdown of Trump the perfect example of "karma."
"I think it's a good reminder that sometimes what we see is so superficial, and this goes for a whole lot of people in elective office, the way people consume media now, the way people get information now, so much of it is, you know, as thick as a Tupperware container," the Missouri Democrat explained.

She blamed the political elites with their "tsk-tsk" after her slow start as vice president for setting a low bar for Harris.
"What was forgotten is the battle she had fought and won thus far in her life, the obstacles she had overcome, her skill, her raw intelligence, and incredible work ethic," McCaskill continued. "So she is benefiting from being wildly underestimated by people that are Democrats, not by Republicans, not by MAGA people, but by the Democratic Party."
She also touted Harris' choice of Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who surprised voters just as much as she did.
McCaskill also touted the short campaign season. While Trump has been on the campaign trail for nearly two years, Harris has been campaigning for less than a month.
"I love it that she only has a short sprint instead of a marathon, and I love that she was so underestimated, and I love it the most — and you talk about karma — for Donald Trump to be taken out by this woman! Oh, my God, it's just too good to be true!" she laughed.
