GOP Pollster Spots How Harris 'Absolutely' Cost Herself Election Win

Frank Luntz said the vice president's decision "hurt her" on the campaign trail.

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz argued that Kamala Harris’ decision to align herself “tightly” with Joe Biden led to her losing the election to President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“Was she loyal? Absolutely. Did it hurt her in the campaign? Absolutely,” Luntz said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, as Mediaite noted.

Luntz weighed in after a senior Harris campaign official told CNN’s MJ Lee that the president holds “a lot of blame” for her defeat.

A number of Democrats have slammed Biden in the wake of Harris’ defeat for his decision to seek reelection last year, declaring that he “hung on too long” before abandoning his presidential bid in July.

A Harris aide has also pointed to a moment during the vice president’s interview on “The View” last month, when she told hosts that she couldn’t think of something she could’ve done differently from Biden over the past four years, Reuters reported.
