Did liberals really think a title change was all Kamala Harris needed to erase her long list of political shortcomings? News flash: it doesn’t work that way. The same problems that sunk her 2020 campaign are back, just in time for the final stretch of the 2024 election. Remember, Harris didn’t even make it to the 2020 primaries. Why? Her campaign was a disaster, plagued by infighting and a total lack of direction. Oh, and let’s not forget the voters just didn’t like her. It’s not hard to see why. The woman has no depth, and her cluelessness on critical issues is impossible to ignore.
But here we are in 2024, and somehow, the Democratic Party thought nominating Harris was a genius move, mainly because, well, her name isn’t Joe Biden. That’s about all she’s got going for her. She’s vowed to double down on Biden’s failed agenda—because that worked out so well, right? Harris is even suggesting Soviet-style price controls to deal with inflation. You know, the inflation that she and Biden helped ignite with their reckless spending. It’s like they’re throwing gas on a fire and wondering why things are burning down.
So, the Democratic convention came and went, and guess what? No bump for Harris. The race is tighter than ever, a far cry from when Biden was comfortably outpacing Trump in the polls. In key swing states, things aren’t looking too good for Harris, with Trump gaining ground. According to Nate Silver’s Electoral College probability model, Trump now has a 58 percent chance of hitting the 270 electoral votes needed to win, up from 56 percent earlier in the week. Not great news for Team Harris.
The real kicker? Trump has an 80 percent chance of flipping a state Biden won in 2020. If that state happens to be Pennsylvania, it’s game over. Even Nate Silver, who’s hardly a conservative cheerleader, can’t ignore the fact that Harris is in a tough spot. He’d be a bit more optimistic about her chances if she hadn’t decided to rehire Biden’s crew. Because, you know, sticking with the team that brought you failure is always a solid strategy.
And let’s talk about those swing states. Pennsylvania is a problem, and now Michigan is becoming an issue for Harris, too. She’s in real trouble, and unless something drastic happens, it’s looking more and more like Trump’s path to victory is getting clearer by the day.
