The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has already begun lowering expectations for a Democrat victory under her leadership.
The Harris campaign has acknowledged that a “difficult” path lies ahead of the November election when the VP will face President Donald Trump.
It comes only a week after securing the delegates to become the Democrat presidential nominee without a single voter casting a ballot for her as such.
“Harris and emerging campaign brain trust share the view that shifting the fundamentals of the race will be difficult with a calcified electorate and fragmented media environment,” Politico Playbook reported.
Breitbart noted that Harris has not given a one-on-one press interview since becoming the presumptive nominee.
However, given her history of word-salad statements and gaffes, it isn’t surprising that a Democrat senator said the campaign was going to be “brutally tough.”
An Economist/YouGov poll found that only 39% of registered independents believe Harris is even qualified to be president.
That can’t be encouraging for the campaign.
In the same poll, 92% said Harris was at least “a little” involved in the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline.
Democratic Party elites, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), were reportedly “lukewarm” to concerned about Harris’s candidacy, a source involved in internal discussions told the Hill.
“She wasn’t a great candidate,” a Democrat senator told the Hill referring to Harris’s failed 2020 candidacy.
In the Democrat 2020 primary, Harris dropped out of the primary before any votes had even been cast.
Harris was at the bottom of the crowded 2020 primary, which was won by Biden, and her weak campaign never gained any traction.
In fact, Trump received far more votes than Harris in the 2020 Democrat primary.
Another Democrat senator said it was going to be hard for Harris to gain support if she steadfastly praised Biden because his record (and hers by association) was unpopular.
And then there’s her record in the Senate.
In 2019, then-Sen. Harris (D-CA) was ranked the most liberal senator in the chamber, even further Left than radical socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
She’s a pretty weak candidate already, so it stands to reason she might not be able to withstand close scrutiny of her record.
They must have really needed to get Biden out of there if they latched onto Harris despite her unpopularity.
It looks like they are already expecting to lose to Trump in November, and they may not even fight it all that much.
Either that or they want to brag about a come-from-behind victory when the time comes.
Or maybe the fix is already in.
