We’ve reached a critical point in the campaign, and the momentum has swung decisively in favor of President Donald Trump. The Democrats, and particularly Kamala Harris, seem to be scrambling as they struggle to gain footing. The proof? They’ve trotted out heavyweights like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, but their appearances haven’t had the desired effect. Obama, in a sign of frustration, even resorted to suggesting that black men might be reluctant to vote for Harris due to sexism. This kind of accusation suggests that Harris is facing serious difficulties connecting with voters, particularly a key demographic.
Kamala — who has been in office for the past four years — says “it’s time to turn the page.”

Clinton’s pitch didn’t help matters either. In a stunning moment, he acknowledged the tragic death of Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant who entered the country due to poor vetting under Biden and Harris. This was an indirect, yet clear indictment of their immigration policy, particularly Harris’s failure as the so-called “border czar.”

Adding to the chaos, Harris took a swing at Trump, spreading the baseless claim that Trump froze up and appeared lost during an event. The reality? Trump had paused to ensure that medical attention was provided for two people experiencing health emergencies in the crowd. The Trump team wasted no time fact-checking Harris, and even mainstream outlets like ABC debunked her claim, leaving Harris with egg on her face.
Kamala once again claims President Trump “would weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies.”

As if that weren’t enough, Harris’s recent event in Pennsylvania showcased just how disjointed the Democrats’ messaging has become. While she talks about “turning the page” and charting a “new way forward,” it’s impossible to ignore that she and Biden are still very much in office. The pitch rings hollow, especially when she attempts to attack Trump for his supposed lack of plans. Trump, meanwhile, has a robust set of policies readily available on his website, while Harris stumbles over basic questions about what she’d do differently from Biden.
Kamala, in Erie, says Democrat Sen. Bob Casey isn’t in attendance because he’s “out doing what he needs to do to get re-elected.”

Harris’s attempts to frame Trump as a threat to democracy by claiming he’d “weaponize” the Department of Justice against political opponents also backfired. Many quickly pointed out the irony, given Trump’s ongoing legal battles and the Democratic efforts to block him from ballots. The projection was palpable, and the audience wasn’t buying it.
One of the more telling moments came when Harris tried to explain why Senator Bob Casey, who is in a tight re-election race in Pennsylvania, wasn’t standing by her side at the event. Her response? Casey was “doing what he needs to do to get re-elected.” The subtext wasn’t lost on anyone—staying far away from Kamala Harris might just be the smartest move for a Democrat in a battleground state.
