Democrats have been publicly predicting that it was only a matter of time before polls started to show Kamala Harris pulling away from Donald Trump.
But the more confidence they project, the more the opposite seems to occur.
And Kamala Harris blew a fuse when this report exposed a big flaw that could cost her everything.
It’s all a charade
In the weeks immediately after Vice President Kamala Harris was coronated as Democrats’ Presidential nominee, it seemed to many as though she’d be able to ride the media’s manufactured narrative around her all the way to the White House.
Democrats just knew that she’d get a big bump in polls after the Democratic National Convention, but no such big bump ever materialized.
Still, they pressed forward knowing that she’d have to start pulling away from former President Donald Trump after the three-on-one ABC News debate was geared specifically towards tipping the scales in her favor.
But yet again, post-debate polls didn’t give her campaign a big boost – even the laughably biased polls in which she led nationally on the basis of a non-existent massive lead with Independent voters weren’t able to manufacture a big boost for Kamala.
To make matters worse for Democrats, as CNN’s Ryan Girdusky pointed out on-air recently, without the boosts she was expected to receive from the DNC and debate, Kamala is now officially “the worst polling Democrat against Donald Trump in history on national polls.”
Regardless, Democrats and their media allies are still publicly claiming that she’ll have no problem easily defeating Trump come November.
But former ABC News political director Mark Halperin’s sources within the Democrat Party seem to be sending a much different message.
According to Halperin, who has been as plugged into the Democrat Party’s behind the scenes machinations throughout the 2024 election cycle as anyone – he even called President Joe Biden’s resignation days before it actually happened – in private, Democrats aren’t nearly as confident in Kamala as they’re claiming publicly.
“I’ve been asking people two questions in the state, national strategists to the campaigns — one is, who is currently ahead in the race, and where does Pennsylvania rank in terms of 1-7 of the states that Harris is most likely to win,” Halperin said in a video for his 2WAY platform.
All eyes on Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is widely believed to be one of the most crucial states of this election cycle, as it has more electoral votes than any of the other potential battleground states.
Some have even pegged Pennsylvania as a potential bellwether state that must be won in order to win the race to 270 electoral votes.
Despite its importance, though, Democrats told Halperin privately that winning Pennsylvania is actually going to be a longshot for Kamala.
“As you can see here, this source of mine, whom I trust very much, a very smart person, put Pennsylvania sixth, the sixth most likely state for Harris to win,” Halperin stated. “If that’s true and Harris loses Pennsylvania, almost certainly not going to win [the Presidency].”
Furthermore, even though some polls have attempted to claim that Kamala is surging to a lead in Pennsylvania, Halperin’s sources indicated that the opposite may actually be true.
“I talked to two people today – Democrats who know the state very well,” Halperin explained. “They both said that they thought Harris was not only behind in Pennsylvania, but they thought she was likely to lose the state.”
As Halperin pointed out, without Pennsylvania, Kamala’s path to victory becomes significantly more daunting.
“They didn’t rule out that she could win it, but they thought it was unlikely,” he added. “If you believe that – you can’t make her the favorite, and you almost can’t even say this race is a toss-up.”
“This is the ball game, right?” he continued. “This is it – the question of ‘where do you get 270 Electoral Votes?’ If Harris can’t win Pennsylvania – very difficult to see what her best path is.”
The entire 2024 election may come down to Pennsylvania.
And that could very well be the worst case scenario for Kamala Harris.
