Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tells Fox News Digital his debate advice for Trump: \u2018Let Harris talk\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is interviewed by Fox News Digital from the sidelines of the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LAS VEGAS \u2014 Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a> has been in more than a few debates during his decades-long political career.<\/p>\n

\n

Abbott won three terms as state attorney general before winning election and two re-elections as Texas governor.<\/p>\n

So his advice to former President Trump<\/a> ahead of Tuesday’s first and potentially only debate between the GOP presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris \u2014 the Democratic Party’s nominee \u2014 is “Let Harris talk.”<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“The more she talks without talking into a teleprompter, the more she shows America that she\u2019s really not up to the task,” Abbott emphasized in an interview with Fox News Digital along the sidelines of the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Abbott asserted that “if he [Trump] lets her talk and if he focuses on three issues \u2014 one is the border, another is the inflation caused by Harris<\/a> and [President] Biden, and the other is the rapid crime that we see in some cities, caused by people like Harris and [her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim] Walz \u2014 Americans are going to understand the last thing they want to do is to have Kamala Harris running our country, because it would be run into the ground.”<\/p>\n

The governor endorsed Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination last November \u2014 before the start early this year of voting in the Republican primaries \u2014 when the two leaders teamed up for an event along the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Abbott was on the campaign trail in battleground Arizona on behalf of Trump. And he says he will continue to make the case for the former president.<\/p>\n

“I will remain on the campaign trail for President Trump because no one knows more about what\u2019s going on on the border than I do,” said the border state governor.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Border security has also long been a top issue for Abbott, who has sparred repeatedly with the Biden administration. And border security is all but certain to remain a top issue for Abbott, who will start gearing up next year for a 2026 run for a fourth-straight four-year term steering Texas.<\/p>\n

Abbott charged that “Americans need to learn the reality, both of how the policy changed under Biden and Harris and what Kamala Harris would do to pretty much put America on a pathway of destruction.”<\/p>\n

If the former president wins back his old job, Abbott predicts a second Trump term would be productive.<\/p>\n

“During his first term, we worked well, especially on border security-based issues. But it\u2019s going to be better this time in part because he will come to office knowing far more than he did when he entered office last time, knowing which levers to pull, what can be done, and the strategies and how to quickly take care of it,” the governor said.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“I\u2019ve talked to him in recent times about what his plans are. He\u2019s going to be far more aggressive this time than he was last time because he has to find a way to course correct from all the damage caused to the United States by Harris and Biden,” Abbott argued.<\/p>\n
