[Washington Times] In his three campaigns for president, Donald Trump has never been in as strong a position as he is right now, and that is apparently scaring the daylights out of Vice President Kamala Harris. You don’t have to take my word for it; just watch the way she’s behaving.
After a six-week period of glowing coverage that followed her ascension to the top of the Democratic Party’s national ticket — replacing the feeble and forcibly discarded President Biden — she doesn’t have a tremendous amount to show for it. Yes, she’s faring better against Mr. Trump than Mr. Biden had been, but that’s nothing to brag about.
Ms. Harris has been the beneficiary of the equivalent of millions of dollars’ worth of free advertising from the mainstream media, and she still couldn’t quite catch Mr. Trump in most public polls. There are exceptions (in polling, there always are), but a slew of recent national surveys from The New York Times, CNN and Quinnipiac have shown the race to be tied, or show Mr. Trump with a slight lead. That’s devastating because a national poll includes Democratic strongholds such as California and New York, and she’s still tied or behind. |
