Collins to Trump ally: Does Trump know he's running against Harris, not Biden?

'S NEWS NETWORK VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND HER NEW RUNNING MATE, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ, FOLLOWING TONIGHT'S RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH A CAMPAIGN BLITZ ACROSS FOUR MORE BATTLEGROUND STATES AS THEIR COMPETITION FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS ONE RALLY THIS WEEK ON HIS SCHEDULE AND SOLID RED MONTANA. >> HIS PICK FOR VICE PRESIDENT J.D VANCE REPLIED EARLIER TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE SAYING THIS UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S VERY BUSY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS OF COURSE, GET OUT THERE AND SPEAK TO PEOPLE AND SPEAK TO REPORTERS. FINAL THING YOU HAVE TO DO, OF COURSE, IS RAISE THE RESOURCE THAT EITHER PRESIDENT'S VERY BUSY DOING EXACTLY THAT JOINING ME TONIGHT, REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF NORTH DAKOTA, DOUG BURGUM, GOVERNOR, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK HERE. >> WHY AREN'T WE SEEING DONALD TRUMP OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL MORE THIS WEEK? >> WELL, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE A LOT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. I'LL BE WITH THEM IN MONTANA ON FRIDAY WHERE HE'S GOT A BIG RALLY AND YES, MONTANA IS READ, BUT IT'S ALSO SUPER IMPORTANT SENATE SEAT. REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO WIN THIS FALL WITH TIM SHEEHY. SO I THINK HE'S NOT ONLY GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION AND IS OUT CAMPAIGN AND DO THAT, HE'S GOING TO MAKE SURE HE WINS THE SENATE AS WELL. >> YEAH, IT IS A BIG SENATE SEAT AND SPEAKING, OF WHAT THIS RACE IS LOOKING LIKE, A RAWLS HOW IT'S CHANGING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. RIGHT AFTER WALZ WAS NAMED TO THE TICKET TODAY, TRUMP RESPONDED AND A FUNDRAISING TEXT TO SUPPORT HER SAYING THAT HE WILL UNLEASH HELL ON EARTH IT REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN PAINTING TIM WALZ IS THIS EXTREME LIBERAL, BERNIE SANDERS REFUTED THAT TO ME EARLIER WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE VOTERS WILL VIEW GOVERNOR WALZ THIS WAY, THE SIX-YEAR-OLD GOVERNOR FROM MINNESOTA, THAT HE'S GOING TO UNLEASH HELL ON EARTH WELL, I THINK IT'S JUST SUCH AN UNUSUAL WORLD. WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. KAITLAN WORD, I MEAN, WE'RE WERE SEEING IN THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS GOING TO WIN IN A LANDSLIDE AND JOE BIDEN WAS NEVER GOING TO STEP DOWN FROM RUNNING. AND THEN HERE WE ARE. AND IT'S ALL HONEYMOON PERIOD OF ABOUT YOU KNOW, THE BIO OF CAMILA AND MANY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY DON'T KNOW HER OR HER BACKGROUND, MUCH LESS GOVERNOR WALZ, HIS BACKGROUND. AND THERE'S ONLY 90 DAYS TO THE ELECTION. SO THIS IS COMPLETELY UNPRECEDENTED. WERE A PARTY HAS SWITCHED HORSES MIDSTREAM AND THEY'VE DONE IT NOT OUT OF AN ADVANTAGE. THEY DID IT BECAUSE THEY JUST DECIDED, HEY, WE'RE THROWING IN THE TOWEL. WE CAN'T WIN HIS PRESENCE TRUMP WAS STRONG ON THE ECONOMY, STRONG ON THE BORDER. HE IS STRONG ON INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES. ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO MATTER TO VOTERS WHEN THEY GO AND VOTE THIS FALL AND SO IT'S LIKE A COMPLETE RESET TODAY FOR THE DEMOCRATS WHO'VE HAD TO LIKE THROW EVERYTHING OUT, START OVER NEW PLAYBOOK, AND TRY TO REINVENT TWO NEW CANDIDATES WHO BOTH IT'S HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF HAVING VERY CALIFORNIA LIBERAL POLICIES THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS. >> WHAT YOU JUST SAID BEFORE HARRIS STEP DOWN THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LANDSLIDE FOR TRUMP IF HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST BIDEN. I MEAN, NOW THAT IT IS HARRIS SYMBOLS, DOES THAT DOES THAT WORRY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN? >> WELL, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S WEREN'T. I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THERE'S THIS LIKE A WEIRD UNUSUAL HONEYMOON PERIOD WHERE WE'RE ALL LIKE, WOW, THERE'S A THIRT 90 DAYS TILL A THING AND ALL SUDDEN THERE'S A DIFFERENT TEAM, BUT NOW WE KNOW WHO TRUMP IS RUNNING AGAINST. HE'S RUNNING HIS HARRIS. WE KNOW WHO THE VP CANDIDATES ARE AND YOU'VE GOT SOMEONE WHO RAN OR COUNTRY SUCCESSFULLY AND HAD A SUPER STRONG ECONOMY. AND WE HAD PEACE AT THE WORLD AND PROSPERITY AT HOME. AND NOW, HARRIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO DEFEND THE MESS THAT JOE BIDEN HAS LEFT US AND THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD TO DO BECAUSE YOU LOOKED AT WHAT'S HAPPENING, WHERE THE STOCK MARKET INTEREST RATES, IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD IN THE NEXT 90 DAYS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ECONOMIC MIRACLE THAT'S GOING TO SOMEHOW SAVE THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN. >> WELL, I WANT TO ASK YOU THOUGH, JUST ON THE PROSPECT OF THIS MATCHUP HERE, BECAUSE TRUMP KEEPS POSTING ABOUT JOE BIDEN AND TODAY HE'S SAYING THAT BIDEN IS GOING TO COME IN AND CRASH THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION MAYBE HAD TRIED TO TAKE THE NOMINATION THEY SHOULDN'T BACK AND RUN AGAIN. I MEAN DOES HE REALIZE THAT HE'S RUNNING AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, NOT JOE BIDEN ANYMORE. MOVING ON THAT HE DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT, MAYBE MORE FORMIDABLE OPPONENT IN HER WELL I THINK HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHO HE HE'S RUNNING AGAINST, BUT WE'RE ALSO RUNNING AGAINST JOE BIDEN WAS A CREATION OF A RULING COALITION AND THAT SAME RULING COALITION OF DEMOCRATS WERE THE ONES THAT SAID, HEY, WE'RE PULLING THE PLUG ON JOE BIDEN. >> JOE BIDEN DIDN'T DIDN'T VOLUNTARILY DO THIS BETWEEN THE DONORS AND THE POWERS THAT BE HE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. AND SO IN SOME WAYS, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDEMOCRATIC WAYS THAT ANY CANDIDATE HAS EVER BEEN SELECTED FOR PRESIDENT AND I THINK IT'S I THINK THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDERSTANDS HOW UNUSUAL THIS IS. >> I WOULD COUNTER THAT BY SAYING WIN, THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY WAS HAPPENING, WHICH YOU RAN IT. WE WERE HEARING THE RNC CHAIR BASICALLY TELLING EVERYONE TO PACK IT UP AND TAKE IT HOME AND LEAVE THE RACE TO TRUMP BEFORE ANY VOTERS THAT EVEN CAST THEIR BALLOTS. THAT'S WHAT RONNA MCDANIEL SAYING. BUT I'LL MOVE ON BECAUSE IT AT LEAST FIVE TIMES SINCE MONDAY AND THIS IS SOMETHING I'M PERSONALLY CURIOUS ABOUT. DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN REFERRING TO HARRIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IS KAMALA, I GUESS IS HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT. IT'S FIVE POST ON MONDAY. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM AND WHAT THAT NICKNAME MEANS I, CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT, BUT I DO KNOW THAT WHEN VOTERS ARE MAKING A DECISION, THEY'RE GOING TO END UP VOTING IN MANY WAYS THEIR POCKET AND IF YOU GO TO THESE SWING STATES WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO DECIDE THE ELECTION BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S ABOUT 43 STATES THAT ARE EITHER LEANING HEAVILY RED, ARE HEAVILY BLUE AS THEY ALWAYS DO. >> BUT IN THOSE SWING STATES, IN THOSE SUBURBAN COUNTIES, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY, WHAT'S MY BETTER OFF TODAY THAN I WAS FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SAY NO BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S WHETHER IT'S CRIME, WHETHER IT'S INFLATION, WHETHER IT'S INTEREST RATES, WHATEVER IT IS THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THAT AND YOU'VE GOT THE HARRIS WALLS CAMPAIGN IS NOT TALKING ABOUT BUT ANY POLICIES ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE IT IF THEY'VE GOT TO SPEND THE NEXT 90 DAYS DEFENDING JOE BIDEN'S TRACK RECORD ON THE ECONOMY, ON THE BORDER AND ON THE WARS OVERSEAS, THAT IT'S A LOSING BET. THERE HAD BEEN DEALT A LOSING HAND. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW INTERESTING THEIR BIO IS. OUR IT'S A LOSING HAND FOR THEM ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER. THE MOST. >> OKAY. BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE NICKNAME CAME? I'M FROM EITHER BECAUSE
