Jason Miller, senior adviser to the Trump campaign, says his candidate’s anti-establishment message connects with millions of Americans - not only Republicans. Faiz Shakir, former campaign manager for Senator Bernie Sanders, says Trump’s candidacy ironically fuels support for the presumptive Democratic candidate, President Biden.
