GOP Strategist Pushes Harris To Be 'Ted Lasso' To Trump's 'Voldemort'

GOP strategist Mike Murphy had real advice for Vice President Kamala Harris based on fictional characters.(Watch the video below.)

In a guest spot on “Morning Joe” Thursday, Murphy was asked by host Willie Geist what the Democratic nominee’s strategy should be in the final weeks before the election against former President Donald Trump.

“People love the civil tone,” Murphy said. “… She should go Ted Lasso. Let him be Voldemort.”

Murphy didn’t just stop at encouraging the vice president to be affable like Jason Sudeikis’ soccer coach on the Emmy-winning comedy in contrast to the evil wizard from the “Harry Potter” series.

Murphy, a senior strategist behind Arnold Schwarzenegger’s win for California governor who also worked on successful campaigns for Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, said Harris should be “flooding the zone” with impromptu appearances and local TV. “Earning it, working,” he said, because she didn’t go through a primary battle.
