Vice President Kamala Harris is going after Donald Trump “where it hurts” the former president the most: his crowd sizes, according to a New York Times reporter, who added that is exactly what the Democratic nominee should be doing.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro made the comments Thursday night in analyzing a moment earlier in the day when MAGA hecklers at a Wisconsin rally for Harris prompted her to say: “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

“I think when you have hecklers, she did it with a sense of humor,” Garcia-Navarro told CNN’s Erin Burnett on her show “OutFront.” “She did it with a quip and she tried to punch where it hurts Trump the most – which is his crowd size – she did it in the debate and he rose to the bait.”

Garcia-Navarro, the Times podcast host and CNN contributor, went on to tell Burnett that creating moments that attract attention with the razor-thin race less than three weeks away “is what you should be doing.”

“She should be trying to drive the news cycle,” she said. “She should be getting people talking about her. There are no big moments left and so this is the kind of thing that she does well.”
