With just over two weeks until the election, Kamala Harris is intensifying her efforts to maintain her presidential campaign amid declining poll ratings.
The Democratic nominee is grappling with internal criticism from colleagues who are frustrated by her approach as the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania appears to slip away.
Harris has shifted from a previously cautious strategy of engaging with friendly media outlets to seeking support from new voter demographics.
As the stakes rise, her focus has increasingly turned to former President Donald Trump, with warnings about the threat he poses to the American way of life becoming central to her campaign messaging.
“All the campaign has left is to attack Trump as unfit. He has erased the sugar-high, joy-induced lead Harris enjoyed two months ago, so that only leaves personal attacks.”
Trump’s recent rise in the polls, showing him leading by a significant margin in key states, has prompted a sense of urgency within Harris’s campaign.
Initially buoyed by enthusiasm after Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July, Harris’s momentum has waned, leading to tension between her and the Biden administration.
What began as a campaign centered around positivity has shifted to one marked by frustration and urgency.
During a recent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Harris angrily expressed her concerns about Trump’s influence. “Anybody who says they would terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States. Never again. Never again. Never again,” she declared, highlighting her alleged commitment to defending democratic principles.
Harris’s previous attempt to address the hurricane crisis by engaging in a political dispute with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis backfired when Biden praised DeSantis’s response.
Sources close to the White House indicated that the situation was largely of Harris’s making, with one aide stating that the administration lacks a voice focused on the campaign’s electoral impact.
While Biden has publicly supported Harris, concerns regarding her campaign performance have surfaced among party members.
At a recent funeral, cameras captured Biden in a conversation with former President Barack Obama, with lipreaders suggesting Biden expressed doubts about Harris’s strength as a candidate
The race in Pennsylvania, which holds 19 crucial electoral votes, is critical for the Democrats’ chances in the upcoming election.
According to Nate Silver, polling data suggests that if Trump wins Pennsylvania, he would have a 91% chance of securing the presidency.
Polling data also suggests that Trump now has a 93.2% chance of winning the Electoral College.
As the campaign enters its final stretch, Harris’s approach has become increasingly aggressive, with personal attacks on Trump taking precedence over positive messaging.
At a recent rally, she claimed, “He’s talking about the enemy within Pennsylvania. He’s talking about the enemy within our country.”
With the election drawing near, Harris’s ability or inability to unite her party and galvanize voter support will be crucial in determining the outcome of her presidential bid.
