For months, the mainstream media worked overtime to convince Americans that Kamala Harris was running away with the 2024 presidential election. Headlines raved about her supposed “lead,” and pundits acted like she was already moving into the White House. Never mind the fact that Harris didn’t even run a primary.
Not one voter in the Democratic primaries chose her as their nominee because she never gave them the chance. Joe Biden dropped out of the race unexpectedly, and Harris swooped in to take the nomination without a single ballot cast in her favor.
But now, the reality of Harris’ shaky candidacy is finally sinking in. For all the media spin, Harris is proving to be exactly what many suspected all along: a bad candidate. She’s unfit for the presidency, and her campaign is crumbling as voters realize she can’t handle the pressure. The cracks are showing, and no amount of media fluff can cover them up.
From The Blaze:
A top adviser in the Harris-Walz presidential campaign admitted that the lead reported in the media for Vice President Kamala Harris was fake…“I think the freakout is because there were a bunch of polls, I’d say in the last month, that showed a lead for Kamala Harris that was not real. It’s not what we were seeing — we’ve seen this thing basically be tied let’s say since mid-September,” Plouffe continued.
The Truth Finally Comes Out
In a stunning admission, a top adviser to the Harris-Walz campaign spilled the beans on just how misleading those early reports were. David Plouffe, who served as a key strategist for Harris, confessed that the lead reported by the media was, in his own words, “fake.”
Speaking on the “Pod Save America” podcast over the weekend, Plouffe revealed what many already suspected: Harris’ supposed lead was nothing more than a mirage.
“This is the race we have; it’s the race we expected,” Plouffe admitted. “I don’t think it’s going to open up for either candidate. I think it’s going to be close all the way in.” Not exactly the confident words of a campaign on the rise.
Plouffe went on to explain that the lead Harris once enjoyed in the polls had “melted away” because it was never real to begin with. “It’s not what we were seeing,” he added, confirming what anyone paying attention could already see.
Polls Were Never Real
Plouffe didn’t stop there. He explained how the media’s polls gave Harris supporters a false sense of security. “There were a bunch of polls… that showed a lead for Kamala Harris that was not real,” he said, echoing the growing sentiment that the media had been playing fast and loose with the facts.
“We’ve seen this thing basically be tied since mid-September,” he admitted. So much for the media’s glowing reports of Harris dominating the race.
Plouffe also pointed out that, despite Harris’ supposed “higher ceiling,” Trump is stronger now than he was in 2020. In other words, Harris is facing a more formidable opponent than the media would like to admit.
The polls that once showed Trump and Harris trading narrow leads are now revealing the truth: this is anyone’s race, and Harris is not the shoo-in the media pretended she was.
Harris’ Campaign on Thin Ice
With Plouffe’s revelations, the narrative that Harris was comfortably ahead has crumbled. The race is tight, and Harris’ chances are far from certain. As the campaign grinds toward the finish line, Harris faces mounting pressure to deliver – and so far, she’s struggling to rise to the occasion.
While the media continues to cheerlead for Harris, voters are beginning to tune out. Her inability to connect with everyday Americans, coupled with her lack of real primary support, has made her a weak candidate in the eyes of many.
Even her advisers can’t deny it anymore. Plouffe’s candid admission underscores just how desperate the situation is for Harris.
The Fake Lead Melts Away
It’s no surprise that the Harris campaign is trying to downplay Plouffe’s comments. After all, admitting that their candidate’s lead was built on nothing is hardly a winning strategy. But the truth is out now, and it’s only a matter of time before more voters wake up to the reality that Harris’ campaign is on life support.
Plouffe’s final comment on the matter was almost laughable in its defeatism: “This thing’s going to be decided on the margins in these few number of states.” Translation? Don’t expect any big victories from Kamala Harris. Her campaign is barely holding on, and with Trump gaining momentum, things aren’t looking good for Team Harris.
You’ve done an amazing job with this article.
I don’t think anyone ever thought she was ahead.. Not anyone I know anyway.. We all kept saying the media is lying to you as they do about everything..
