Anthony Scaramucci had harsh words for the man who was briefly his boss, saying Donald Trump will lose to Kamala Harris because he is ‘old’ and ‘boring’.
Veteran Fox News analyst Brit Hume joined the Mooch and veteran GOP pollster Frank Luntz as Republicans express concerns about Trump’s campaign on Sunday.
Scaramucci, who spent 11 days as White House Press Secretary in 2017, has turned anti-Trump, and said Sunday that he thinks his old boss is headed for defeat in November.
‘I predict he’s gonna lose because he’s getting boring. He’s getting old. He’s getting tired,’ he told Fox 5 DC.
He noted that while Trump remained a strong candidate, America is a different place than when he shocked the world defeating Hillary Clinton eight years ago.
‘The electorate has changed since 2016,’ he added. ‘We’ve lost over 20 million baby boomers since 2016.’
‘At the same time, Generation Z has come into the fold to the tune of 40 million. So that’s been a big mixture of lower aged voters into the mix. And they seem interested in politics.’
Also on Sunday, Fox News’ veteran conservative commentator Hume was responding to a poll that said 65% of Americans were dissatisfied with the state of the country.
Why, he was asked, is Trump starting to lose ground in polls to Harris?
Hume said bluntly: ‘Because he’s Trump.’
‘When you get down to it, the past eight to 10 years have been about Donald Trump. Everything has been about Donald Trump,’ he added.
The latest polling average from Real Clear Politics shows that Harris has a 1.4 percent lead over Trump.
‘Donald Trump, no matter how enthusiastic his supporters are, nonetheless, is not a majority candidate. He might win, but he’s not a majority candidate,’ he said.
Hume claimed that Trump had a hardcore base but that it didn’t make up more than 40-45 percent of voters.
The 2024 political season has been one of the most tumultuous in history, but in just a month, the first voters will already be able to start casting ballots in the presidential election.
While each state has its own rules on absentee voting and in-person early voting ahead of Election Day on November 5, some voters can begin submitting their ballots as many as 50 days out.
Harris was catapulted into the race after Biden announced last month that he was giving up his reelection campaign.
Trump insiders were initially jubilant, expecting weeks of Democratic infighting. But the party quickly rallied around the vice president and will show a united front at its convention in Chicago next week.
The former president plans to flood the airwaves with rallies, press conferences and campaign events that will run a massive counter-programming effort to the DNC.
The former president will hold events each day this week in key swing states, and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance also plans to hit battleground states with events on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday – and it all culminates in a rally on Friday.
Meanwhile, Trump’s allies will run daily press conferences at Trump Hotel in Chicago, Illinois each day of the convention .
Republican surrogates coming to town for the Convention include Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.) and Ron Johnson (Wisc.) and Florida Reps. Byron Donalds and Mike Waltz. The Thursday press conference will include a ‘surprise special guest.’
The first presidential debate between the two is set to be held in Philadelphia on September 10 and will be moderated by ABC News.
The first vice presidential debate between Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio will take place on October 1 in New York City, and will be hosted by CBS.
