American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp said Monday morning that President Donald Trump “absolutely” should feel some concern over the large and raucous crowd Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) drew over the weekend when she officially launched her presidential campaign.
“I think she’s a very impressive spokesperson for her cause,” Schlapp told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “I don’t think we should be confident or cocky about the 2020 election. I think the nation has remained divided as it was since, really starting, in 2006.”
“I think, you know, we ought to take these Democrats incredibly seriously,” he continued. “They have a lot of energy on their side.”
Recalling the 2018 elections, he said that “they picked up a lot of seats, mostly in urban areas, because their base is very, very excited. They are very enthused, and I think we have to watch that.”
