Trump pollster Scott Rasmussen said that former Democratic President Bill Clinton's border remarks were more centrist, which could cause problems for Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign. 

"He always had a better sense of some of the more centrist issues," Rasmussen said on an upcoming interview to be aired Wednesday on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show, referencing Clinton. "He was much more centrist of a politician. So he spoke the truth in a way that may hurt the Harris campaign."

Over the weekend while Clinton was stumping for Harris in Georgia, he made a remark about migrants at the southern border not being properly vetted. 

“You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn’t you?” he asked. “They made an ad about a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they’d all been properly vetted that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

Earlier this year an illegal alien from Venezuela, Jose Ibarra, was charged with the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley.

However, Rasmussen said at the end of the day, he doubted Clinton or former President Barack Obama's comments would make a difference in the election. 

Obama received backlash last week after he chastised black male voters for not showing more support for Harris.
