21. I think Moore has insight into electoral demographics that Kamala Harris is going to need.

That isn't an endorsement of everything he's ever said. He didn't predict Trump's win in 2016 by accident - he was wise to the fact that Trump had appeal for union types in states like MI. He said a lot of things that year which were dismissed as crazy, and turned out to be right.

I don't think Harris is going to hire him for her campaign, but I absolutely think she'd be interested if he was sounding the alarm.
