Well, the Trump world finds itself on defense as the Kamala Harris universe goes on the offensive.

But how long will this surge last? Tonight, I'm Laura Coates Live.

Well the Harris campaign sugar high might be giving the Trump campaign a bit of a stomach ache, at least for now.

The man who once said he was excited to debate now singing a little bit of a different tune.

Just tonight alone, Trump stopped short of committing to a debate saying he probably end up debating her.

He also had to defend his own VP pick Senator Senator JD Vance, over his comments that

childless women don't have as much of a stake as mothers.

I think they understand it. No, I think they understand it. The Democrats are good at spinning things differently from what they were.

All he said is he does like, I mean for him, he likes family.

Is it all he said? Trump defending is running made.

It's not exactly where you want to be 99 days

before the election.

Typically, you are on the top of that ticket.

Now the polls they do show an incredibly tight race

and the Trump campaign is ready to throw the kitchen sink,

maybe even the whole house at Harris,

hitting her on everything from the border surge and inflation during her time as the

vice president to what Trump calls her radical record as a prosecutor. In fact,

Trump tonight claimed he's happy he's running against her.

Now I have her. I would rather run against her than him.

I think she's easier than he is.

Mm. Well, looks like his running mate, JD Vance, may not have gotten that same messaging
