Peter Navarro , a former advisor to former President Donald Trump , was filling in as the host for Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Real America’s Voice and had some campaign advice for his old boss.

While addressing Trump’s campaign strategy of personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris during a broadcast on Monday, Navarro — a Trump loyalist who served jail time for refusing to cooperate with a Congressional investigation of the January 6 insurrection, which Bannon is serving time for now — said that what worked for him before may not work this time around, especially in battleground states:

He needs votes, and the current rally formula is simply not sufficiently focused on the very stark policy differences — policy differences — between him and Kamala Harris that will swing voters in key battleground states. Instead, when Trump attacks Harris personally rather than on policy, Harris’s support among swing voters rises, particularly among women. It’s just a fact of life, right now.

In addition to attacking Harris by name-calling and sowing doubt about what her race is, Trump has also accused her campaign of lying about the size of her crowds. On Sunday, Trump baselessly claimed on Truth Social that the Harris campaign created her Michigan rally crowd using AI.
