With Kamala's momentum waning, Democrats are growing anxious about a potential Trump victory.
A once reliable safeguard against a second Trump presidency is losing support among Democrats.
Kamala Harris' campaign, which gained momentum when she entered the race, is now losing steam.
Despite raising a billion dollars and receiving overwhelmingly positive coverage from the mainstream media, she has struggled to deliver a compelling message, particularly to Black and Latino voters. Many Democrats, who have grown accustomed to reading stories about who will be in the Harris Cabinet, are now panicking.
Despite being a relatively unpopular vice president, Kamala Harris is currently running neck and neck with Donald Trump in a new NBC College poll. However, her national lead has decreased by five points since the last survey in September.
Trump is a Teflon candidate who can withstand criticism from the press, even when he is accused of refusing to release his medical records, using inflammatory language against illegal immigrants, and vowing to protect women while his Supreme Court justices overturned Roe.
MAGA supporters are staunchly opposed to the media and are unlikely to change their stance. He has the advantage of having previously held the position. They fondly recall Trump's presidency, particularly for its strong economy and border restrictions, and dismiss any negative events, including Jan. 6.
Although Harris has put forth policy suggestions and participated in several easy-going interviews, she committed a significant error on "The View" when she admitted she couldn't identify any areas where she disagreed with Joe Biden. This was not meant to be a trap question.
How can she position herself as the new change candidate by using the sentence "grab the mantle of the change candidate"?
If she feels loyalty to Joe, it is misguided. As a seasoned politician, he would understand if she said he did a good job, but there are several areas where she disagrees with him and would do things differently.
Tension between the Harris and Biden camps is being reported by Axios and others, as she has replaced the president's top strategists and spokesmen, which is indicative of a struggling campaign.
The challenge of being the first female president in a country that has never elected one is daunting. People who complain about not knowing Kamala are essentially saying they are not yet ready to trust her with the nuclear codes. She must first pass the commander-in-chief test and appear warm and approachable to the public.
Here’s some British invective from Andrew Sullivan on his Substack:
As I listened to her in more interviews, my concern grew that she might not truly believe in anything.
"Her team is either afraid or aware that she may not be capable of handling the campaign. This is evident. A presidential campaign that involves minimal interaction with the media, no hostile interviews, and no press conferences is a campaign characterized by fear. The scent of fear is unmistakable."
Andrew is voting for Harris to keep Trump out of the White House.
Despite her claims of being an underdog, Kamala has run a cautious campaign. The fear of making a mistake should be overshadowed by the need to make headlines, especially with Trump currently dominating the news. Many days pass without Kamala being a significant presence on TV compared to the ratings-boosting Trump.
She should have been holding network town halls from the start instead of giving the same stump speech at rallies. Drinking beer with Stephen Colbert is not enough.
It is surprising that the woman of color is not as far ahead of the usual Democratic margins among Blacks, particularly Black men, and Latinos as expected.
Obama scolded Black men for sexism, accusing them of being uncomfortable with voting for a woman.
To secure victory, Harris must focus on Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin instead of targeting Sunbelt states.
If she had chosen Josh Shapiro instead of Tim Walz, she would have had a better chance of winning in his state. However, Walz's performance in interviews with "Planet Chronicle Sunday" has been impressive.
Yesterday, Harris agreed to an interview with Fox anchor Bret Baier, which will take place on Wednesday in Pennsylvania. While some are calling this a risky move, Bret has a proven track record of conducting fair interviews. The benefit for Harris is that she will have the opportunity to reach the largest audience in cable news.
Bret stated on the radio that he believes the campaign recognizes the need to alter their strategy and increase outreach, as they are losing Black males.
It may be too much for Kamala to handle as she tries to address the clear and straightforward message of a former president who advocates for stopping illegal immigration, mass deportations, combating inflation, and ending wars in the Middle East. Additionally, she must also deal with the criticism that she hasn't accomplished enough yet.
Despite her initial campaign launch generating excitement, the vice president has not been able to sustain it three weeks into the campaign.
