Katie Britt Predicts Vance Will "Run Circles" Around Harris in Debate

Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, a rising star in the GOP, praised potential vice presidential nominee JD Vance ahead of his speech at the Republican National Convention. Britt predicts that Vance will easily defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in a debate.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance will "run circles" around Vice President Kamala Harris in a debate, Alabama Sen. Katie Britt confidently told Fox News Digital in an interview at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin.

Britt, a rising star in the GOP who delivered the official Republican rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union address earlier this year, praised Vance ahead of his highly anticipated convention speech Wednesday night and predicted Americans would "love" him the moment they get to know him.

"I am excited to watch him debate Kamala Harris because it will not even be a contest. With all due respect to the vice president, our next vice president of the United States, JD Vance, is going to run circles around her. No doubt," Britt said.

Britt, who is also the first female combat veteran to serve in the United States Senate, emphasized Vance's life story of overcoming adversity as a key reason why he is uniquely suited to be vice president.

"I am honored not only to call JD a colleague, but to call him a friend … The best part about it is we've gotten to know each other as people, and when the American people get to know JD Vance, they are going to love everything about him," Britt said.

Britt described the feeling of seeing Trump enter the convention hall on Monday to stand alongside Vance for the first time since his attempted assassination over the weekend as "electric."

"It was amazing. I mean, you could feel the energy," Britt said. "Watching him walk in to 'God Bless America,' there was a peace and a hope and a resiliency that not only came from him, but I think radiated across the entire arena."

Harris called Vance to congratulate him after Trump announced him as his running mate and expressed hope they could meet at a vice presidential debate proposed by CBS News to be held at a later date.

Trump previously accepted a vice presidential debate on behalf of his future running mate to be hosted on Fox News. However, the Biden campaign has only been willing to do the debate on CBS.

No vice presidential debate has been confirmed yet, but Biden and Trump agreed to two presidential debates. The first was hosted by CNN on June 27 and the second will be hosted by ABC News on Sept. 10.

Britt's prediction that Vance will dominate Harris in a debate is based on her belief that Vance is a highly intelligent and skilled communicator who will be able to connect with voters on a personal level.

"JD Vance is a brilliant man with a heart of gold," Britt said. "He is going to make an excellent vice president and I am confident that he will be a strong advocate for the American people."

Vance, who is the author of the bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration and has pledged to work with Trump to implement policies that will benefit all Americans.

"I am honored to be joining President Trump's ticket and I look forward to working with him to build a better future for our country," Vance said.

If Vance and Harris do end up debating, it will be a highly anticipated event that will be closely watched by voters across the country. Vance is expected to use the debate to highlight his own qualifications for office and to attack Harris' record as vice president. Harris, on the other hand, will likely try to paint Vance as a dangerous extremist who is unfit for office.

The outcome of the debate could have a significant impact on the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. If Vance is able to defeat Harris in the debate, it will give him a major boost in the polls and could help Trump win re-election.
