Well, that didn't last long. The coronation of Vice President Kamala
Harris as the Democrat nominee for president was supposed to sweep her
on a wave of support into the Democrat National Convention. The donors
and the voters were meant to see her as the inevitable candidate and the
only one worthy of the nomination.
Womp Womp.
As my colleague Bonchie and our sister site Hot Air reported, Harris may appear as though she is gaining traction, but when you dig deeper, Harris is still losing
the race to former President and Republican nominee for president
Donald Trump. Despite the media gaslighting and the campaign's push,
Harris is neither inevitable nor unbeatable.
Say, whose honeymoon is this, anyway? Supposedly, Kamala Harris has "totally upended"
the race with The Anointment and the media's rush to proclaim the
advent of "Kamalot." Also, Donald Trump only has a ceiling in the
mid-40s and can't possibly win an outright popular-vote majority,
especially with such a Historic Candidate™ as an opponent.
Or so analysts thought. According to a new Harvard-Harris CAPS poll,
Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris 52/48 with leaners, and 48/45 without.
Harris has improved Joe Biden's numbers on the latter, but not the
former.
But here's the worse news for the Harris
campaign. Independents and undecided voters are breaking in the
direction of Donald Trump, not toward Kamala Harris.
Even
the unsure voters are breaking toward Trump, at least somewhat. The
more worrisome data for Democrats are in the charts below, however.
Trump holds Republicans to the ticket better than Harris holds her own
party in both formulations. In fact, her 87% without leaners should be a
red flag for the DNC, suggesting strongly that the party is not as sold
on The Anointing as the media claims, even with the full-court press on
Kamalot!
Take a look at the indie numbers, too. Trump leads by six points without leaners -- and six points with leaners.
One has to wonder whether the sample tilts a bit toward the Dems based
on those results plus the party loyalty numbers above. If so, Trump's
still scoring an outright majority over Harris, who's attractiveness as a
candidate is at its zenith before she's forced to open her mouth about
policy.
And we all know what happens when she opens her mouth. But the Harris
campaign continues pumping out the propaganda, particularly from the
newly-minted "Harris Wins" X account.
"Plummeting?" That's an
interesting perspective. And the hyperbole about the Trump campaign in
panic and looking to replace JD Vance is purely fake news. They WISH he
would replace JD Vance, as he is doing exactly what he was chosen to do:
drive the Left crazy and cause the Republican establishment to scratch
their heads. Another sign that the Kamala Harris bloom is not only off
the rose, but wilting on the ground, is the fact that the short list of
Harris' VP picks has gotten shorter because at least two of the chosen
ones have indicated they do not want the job.
Two
lawmakers seen as strong contenders in the race to become Kamala
Harris’s running mate have announced that they are not in the running.
On Monday, Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer, and the North Carolina
governor, Roy Cooper, both said that while they support the
vice-president, they will be staying in their posts in their respective
states.
“This just wasn’t the right time for North Carolina and
for me to potentially be on a national ticket,” Cooper said in a
statement posted to Twitter/X on Monday. “As I’ve said from the
beginning, she has an outstanding list of people from which to choose,
and we’ll all work to make sure she wins.”
In an interview with
CBS, Whitmer said that she has not been vetted by Harris’s office and
expects Harris to announce her pick within the week, which would confirm
the Democratic ticket at least two weeks before the Democratic national
convention begins on 19 August in Chicago.
“I have communicated
with everyone, including the people of Michigan, that I’m going to stay
as governor until the end of my term at the end of 2026,” Whitmer said.
As my colleague Ward Clark reported, Harris will announce her VP in
two weeks and is scheduled to do a tour of battleground states with said
pick. Those still open to self-immolation: PA Gov. Josh Shapiro, MN
Gov. Tim Walz, KY Gov. Andy Beshear, and AZ Sen. Mark Kelly. While these
are white men slated to give the "Black" woman gravitas (there's a a
ton of tropes here that would take too long to get into!), none of these
politicians excite anyone but the wine-sipping "White Women for Kamala"
and the testosterone-deficient "Dudes for Kamala Harris." Maybe the VP
will give her a boost, and maybe not. But if the top of the ticket
hasn't greatly moved the needle, a No. 2 may initially raise some
excitement, but will ultimately flame out just as quickly as this
coronation.

In
another sign that the Harris campaign may be in trouble, O'Keefe Media
Group (OMG) just dropped an interview with a Democrat National Committee
manager who basically said that Harris has "no accomplishments to speak
of," and that they lie to the donors in order to extract the money they
need.
This is my shocked face. The World War II military
expression comes to mind: "Loose lips, sink ships." Consider this OMG
expose one of the many leaks that will contribute to the sinking of the
Good Ship Kamala.
WATCH:
“I don’t think Kamala Harris would
win this year,” reveals Joyce DeCerce (@JoyceDecerce) (he/him),
Compliance Manager for the Democratic National Committee (@DNC) and Kamala Harris' (@KamalaHarris) Campaign.
DeCerce
adds, “She doesn’t have any accomplishments to speak of,” suggesting
that Harris’s lack of popularity stems from her underachievement while
in office.
Regarding Harris’s approval amongst voters, the DNC Compliance manager states, “She's weirdly unpopular."
DeCerce
describes his role within the DNC as “an accounting function,”
explaining, “It’s kind of like where accounting and legal meet.”
DeCerce
admits that the DNC’s engagement with donors is little more than a
façade. He explains, “You just put on a performance for them, a little
show, right?” implying that the DNC merely tells donors what they want
to hear in order to receive donations. He further claims that the DNC’s
approach is to fuel donors’ fantasies with empty promises, emphasizing,
“They want their fantasy to be, you know, fed.”
When @OKeefeMedia reached
out to Kristin Hetherington, the CFO of the DNC, for comment, she hung
up the phone in frustration after questioned if the DNC tells donors
"what they want to hear," and if they play to donor's "fantasies."
The
undercover journalist who recorded Joyce DeCerce received a threatening
postcard at her house featuring racial undertones in an apparent
attempt to intimidate her and prevent this story from being aired.
