The press is how Democrats talk to one another.
Word going around at the moment isn’t good.
And a CNN host used one word to describe Kamala Harris that turned heads across America.
Kamala Harris sends Barack Obama to Pittsburgh
The Kamala Harris campaign sent Barack Obama to Pittsburgh to shore up her support among black men, a demographic that’s been drifting away from Democrats over the course of the last four years.
The latest Pew poll showed Kamala Harris only leading Donald Trump with black voters by 65 points.
That’s a nearly 20-point drop from Joe Biden’s margin in 2020.
Kamala Harris is also sending Bill Clinton to Georgia, since white, working class men are the biggest stumbling block for Kamala.
CNN host Chris Wallace suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But even Wallace can read a poll and has sources on both sides.
Wallace told fellow CNN host Wolf Blitzer that Kamala sending Barack Obama and Bill Clinton out on the trail showed she was in desperate straits.
“Barack Obama is probably the most popular democrat in the country. I think you see him, he’s gonna be in Pittsburgh tonight you’ll see him in a lot of urban areas, obviously, trying to help Kamala Harris with a weakness she has with younger below 50 black men. We hear that Clinton’s gonna be deployed primarily to rural areas and try to help Harris with a weakness she has with non-college educated working-class white men.”
Blitzer brought up recent Rust Belt polling that had Trump ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan while narrowly behind in Pennsylvania.
Pessimism reaches CNN
Blitzer mentioned these polls and the fact that Kamala Harris already raised $1 billion to try and move the needle.
“Harris is ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania, 49 to 46% but she’s behind Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin, though both states are inside what’s called the margin of error. She’s raised $1 billion since she got the nomination. That’s a lot of money that they could use in these campaigns,” Blitzer replied.
Wallace didn’t sound too optimistic on that front and told Blitzer about the conversations he’s been having with both Democrats and Republicans about their polling.
Wallace described Kamala Harris as “stalled” in the polls.
“I’m hearing this from top Republicans and top Democrats, that Harris seems to have stalled out a bit in the last couple of weeks. You know, she had a great rollout, great convention, very successful debate, but she seemed to have plateaued. One top Republicans said two weeks ago, I would’ve said that she was a slight favorite. He said today I’d say Trump is a slight favorite,” Wallace concluded.
Wallace reporting matched internal campaign polling data from the Trump campaign that showed Trump leading in every single battleground state.

Eventually the media glow-up for Kamala Harris would end and she would have to win this election on her own.
Kamala Harris’ inability to answer basic questions, such as what she would do differently than Joe Biden, caused some voters willing to give her a chance as the alternative to take a pass.
