Establishment Democrats are still worried that former President Trump will make the biggest political comeback in modern U.S. history.
The worry draws attention to Harris’s lack of a boost after the conference and the presidential debate on September 10, which will force her to talk about her extreme past and how she plans to fix the country’s problems.
Trump and Harris are statistically tied, according to polls from both the country and key states. But in polls on certain topics, Trump has a big lead, which suggests that Harris’s “honeymoon” stage was just a sugar high.
A Democrat aide told the Wall Street Journal, “She’s got luck. The question is how long it will last.”
Democrats’ Donna Brazile told Politico, “This race is far from over.”
David Plouffe, a top assistant to Harris, told the Associated Press, “There’s not an easy choice here. Beating Donald Trump and getting 270 electoral votes for Kamala Harris is very hard, but it is possible.” And that’s just the truth.
For Democrats, Harris’s track record on the economy, which is the most important problem in 2024, is the main thing that worries them. A June study from Monmouth University found that 87% of Americans think the policies of the Biden-Harris government have either made inflation worse or have had no effect on it at all.
It was during the Democratic National Convention that radical Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (CA) said, “We’ve got to win the economic case. We have to show that we are the party that will reindustrialize America and give the middle and working class new life.”
Harris is in a tough spot when it comes to the business and, in particular, rising prices, which have gone up by about 20% since she took office in 2021. Harris can’t talk about lowering rising costs in her campaign without criticizing the policies of the Biden-Harris administration. However, she needs to talk about these policies to support her record and nomination.
