Is this panic on the side of Democrats? It looks like panic. It sounds like panic. It feels like panic.
Barack Obama Sounds Alarm: Black Voters Not Enough Behind Kamala Harris, Especially ‘The Brothers’
Former President Barack Obama warned supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday that not enough black voters are backing her for president, especially “the brothers.”
The warning suggests top Democrats are panicked about Harris’s reduced support among black voters.
Only 84 percent of black voters say they would vote for Harris, according to a Pew Research poll from September 30, while 13 percent said they would vote for Trump. Harris’s support among the demographic is down eight points from President Joe Biden’s support in 2020, when he won 92 percent of their vote.
Among black men, only 80 percent support Harris, a Washington Post/Ipsos poll recently found, while a NAACP poll found one in four under the age of 50 showed support for Trump.
Perhaps blacks are finally realizing that the Democratic Party does not own their vote, and that the Democratic Party is not their in black’s best interests
“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities, as we saw when I was running,” Obama told Harris supporters in
“Now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,” Obama said. “So if you don’t mind, just for a second, I’m going to speak to y’all, and say that when you have a choice that is this clear, when on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences.”
“She’s had to work harder and do more and overcome and achieves the second highest office in the land,” Obama said of Harris:
Now, just imagine a Trump surrogate came out and said all white people need to vote Trump because of shared experiences and stuff: it would be lead story material on every news outlet, print, Internet, and TV. Trump would be branded as a raaaaacist and told to drop out. Anyhow, how has she worked harder? She was appointed to her Senate seat, and didn’t actually have to go through a primary to be the Democrat nominee. When she tried in 2020 she flamed out before the primaries she was so bad.
She is a train wreck. Her little media blitz with uner-friendly outlets, most of them puff, have not gone well. The polls have gone down since she started, and Americans realize that she really is clueless. Or, refuses to actually answer questions about her real intentions, her real plans, her real policies.
(WSJ) For Kamala Harris, even friendly interviews are treacherous these days. This week she may have made the biggest mistake of her 81-day campaign in response to similar questions from TV host Stephen Colbert and “The View.” Asked what she would do differently than President Biden, the Vice President said “there is not a thing that comes to mind.”
If Ms. Harris loses, that answer will go far to explaining why. Her mistake isn’t merely that she hasn’t distanced herself enough from Mr. Biden’s unpopular record, though that is a problem. It’s that she hasn’t shown voters that she is her own woman. Her campaign of “vibes” and safe appearances suggests she will be, like Mr. Biden has been, a captive of her party and its unpopular policies.
Well, the hyper-sexual Call Her Daddy appearance while people were dying and dealing with Hurricane Helene surely wasn’t a positive for Harris.
After her ascension as nominee, the Vice President surrounded herself with David Plouffe and other Barack Obama advisers who stuffed her with vague, feel-good generalities. “New way forward” and “opportunity economy” and “I grew up a middle-class kid.” The slogans worked for a time as they rallied Democrats demoralized by Mr. Biden.
But they have worn thin as it’s clear the words are attached to the same old politics. Her pledge to appoint a Republican to her cabinet is a meaningless gesture unless it’s a notable conservative to a serious post. On policy, her one deviation has been to say she’ll raise the capital gains tax by 40% rather than nearly doubling it as Mr. Biden wants. Even that move was done for the expediency of pleasing Democratic donors like Reid Hoffman.
She’s basically Biden but worse. And her answers almost make you long for Biden’s dementia, because, at least he had an excuse
Ms. Harris and Democrats are betting that a majority of voters will never vote for Mr. Trump again, and they may be right. But he could win anyway if the remaining undecided voters conclude that Ms. Harris is merely a political cipher whose agenda is whatever Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren command.
And that she’s either an idiot trying to pretend to be smart, or hiding what she really believes.
