Former President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate, calling it "not fair" and intensifying his rhetoric amid growing signs that Harris is gaining substantial support in key battleground states. In a fiery post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of orchestrating "the first ever 'Coup' in America."

 

Trump's frustration follows President Joe Biden's unexpected decision to withdraw from the 2024 race, a move that cleared the path for Harris to become the Democratic nominee. This development has led Trump to assert that he is now facing the unprecedented challenge of running against two opponents: "Crooked Joe Biden" and Harris, whom he labeled a "Radical Left Marxist" and "Comrade."

 

Expressing his belief that the current situation is "not fair," Trump suggested that this could be another form of "Election Interference," echoing his long-standing claims of impropriety in the U.S. electoral process. He particularly voiced his displeasure with the sudden change in his opponent, implying that the Democrats had deliberately orchestrated Biden's withdrawal to strengthen their chances in the election.

 

While Harris remains actively on the campaign trail, preparing to head to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) where she will accept her party's nomination, Trump's campaign has expressed confidence in his ability to defeat her. Trump stated, "the good news is that she should be easier to beat than Crooked Joe in that the USA will never allow itself to become a Communist Country." However, recent polling data suggests that the race may be more competitive than Trump's campaign anticipates.

 

A new poll conducted by Focaldata for Semafor shows Harris leading Trump in three critical battleground states. The survey, which took place between August 6 and 16 with 4,854 likely voters across seven competitive states, indicates that Harris is ahead of Trump beyond the margin of error in Michigan (51 to 44 percent), Wisconsin (50 to 44 percent), and Nevada (48 to 44 percent). The poll also shows Harris with narrow leads within the margin of error in Pennsylvania (48 to 47 percent) and North Carolina (47 to 46 percent).

 

Trump maintains a lead beyond the margin of error only in Georgia (49 to 45 percent) and holds a slim advantage in Arizona (46 to 45 percent). These results mark a significant shift from earlier polls that had shown Trump leading in all seven swing states when Biden was still in the race. According to Focaldata's chief researcher, James Kanagasooriam, "The dynamics of the race have been totally upended," adding, "Nobody seems to have locked up Pennsylvania—and if that's the case, come Election Day we will be heading into an election of great uncertainty."

 

Despite the polling data, the Trump campaign remains skeptical. In a recent interview on Fox News, Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, questioned the accuracy of the polls, stating, "First of all, the polls tend to radically overstate Democrats. We certainly saw that during the polling of summer of 2020 and summer of 2016, and of course, a lot of those polls were wrong when we came to Election Day."

 

As the political landscape continues to shift, the Democratic Party is preparing for its nominating convention in Chicago, rallying behind Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The convention is being held against a backdrop of growing enthusiasm for Harris's candidacy, as reflected in her rising poll numbers and impressive fundraising efforts. In a surprising twist, several prominent Republican figures are expected to attend the DNC, publicly endorsing Harris's bid for the presidency. Adam Kinzinger, a former congressman who represented Illinois's 16th congressional district from 2010 until January 2023, is scheduled to speak on Thursday, the same night Harris will deliver her keynote speech.

 

Kinzinger, a long-time critic of Trump, notably voted to impeach the former president for "incitement of an insurrection" following the January 6 attacks. Last month, Kinzinger wrote that Trump had transformed the GOP into a "cult of personality." Another notable Republican figure, Ana Navarro, a political strategist and co-host of ABC's The View, will host Tuesday night's events. Navarro, who has been a frequent critic of Trump in recent years, explained her support for Harris in a heartfelt Instagram post, drawing from her personal experiences as a refugee who found freedom and opportunity in America.

 

"I'm a little refugee girl who fled communism, who fled Nicaragua at the age of eight, found freedom, found opportunity, found a home in America, and for me to have the chance to stand on that stage and help my girl, Kamala, make history and become the Democratic nominee, it's just such a mind-blowing moment," Navarro shared. The appearance of Kinzinger and Navarro at the DNC comes in the wake of endorsements from other Republican colleagues, including former congresswoman Barbara Comstock.

 

These endorsements from Republican figures align with the Harris campaign's recently launched "Republicans for Harris" initiative, which aims to appeal to Republican voters who "reject the chaos, division, and violence of Donald Trump and his Project 2025 agenda." This bipartisan support may signal a significant shift in the 2024 race, as voters from across the political spectrum rally behind Harris in a bid to prevent another Trump presidency.

While that may be true for 2016 and 2020, the opposite was the case in 2022. Remember the Red Wave, the tsunami predicted by pollsters that magically evaporated?  Most likely due to the Supreme Courts overturning of Roe v. Wade. Those women voters are still out there and the horrific consequences playing out in anti-abortion states are a continuing motivation to vote against Trump and Republicans in general.

Trump has no plan he’s running for president so they don’t put them in jail. TIT.

I hate it, I really hate it. I was planning on running against Biden, and I had a really good game plan, and then he just went about out like an incredibly gracious man, and Harris really took up the baton and ran with it like nobody expected. It just doesn't seem right, it just doesn't seem fair.

 

I'm trailing in nearly all the polls now, very few people seem to be listening to me anymore, I can't seem to attract a good crowd anymore, everybody's making fun of me, I picked a terrible VP choice, he is flailing too, and everything seems to be going wrong. 

 

It's just not fair, don't they know who I am?

Don't they know how great I am?

Don't they know that I am the most incredible human being on the planet?

Don't they realize I'm the smartest guy in America? Don't they know how handsome I am?

 

I'm am so confused, flustered, unhappy and bitter. 

 

 

Sore losers always make excuses.

 

How anyone in the world could support a person that speaks and acts like Donald Trump is surprising to most normal people. 

 

Let’s  end the fear mongering  negative attacks and lies by the Donald. 
 

And please quit publishing photos and videos of the grown up cult members  wearing the weird Donald clothing outfits shouting nonsense.

Is it fair that a convicted felon, sexual rapist, thief of US  most sensitive nuclear documents and insurrectionist against the US Constitution qualifies for POTUS?

Even make-believe Hannibal Lector would have more credibility.

I don't admire Harris or Biden, but I am not aware of any plans to hang them, neither would I support such a call.

Trump talking about fairness! 😀

Well Donald you can't have it both ways. You said time and again that "Sleepy Joe" is unfit for office. Now that the Democrats have finally come to the same conclusion, you can hardly complain that they've done what they did. Serves you well. 

Posts using derogatory and toxic nicknames or intentional misspelling of people’s names will be removed. If you don’t want your post to be removed, spell people’s names correctly, this applies to both sides of the political debate.

How fair was it for Trump to refuse to debate his GOP challengers? Or to settle with contractors for cents on the dollar?

 

Karma is such a nasty bitch, no?

You Leftist have no shame and don't care about any kind of fairness.  Just reported that the Stalinist new media in the US during the last 30 days has given Harris 66% more air time than Trump.  89% of the reporting on Harris is positive while 84% of the reporting on Trump is negative.  Little one sided if you ask me.  You can't tell me one thing Harris had done for the country as VP.  Not one.  But she is the best.  The news is also not telling the people how much of a Leftist she was as a Senator or how Communist she will be if elected.  Do you even know??

Ahh Mommy, she's got more marbles than I do, her marbles are nicer than mine, more people are cheering for her than me and many people think that she is much friendlier than me. It's so unfair because I thought I was going to compete with another team member and now I have to compete with her. Mommy, please change my diapers.

"...84% of the reporting on Trump is negative."  Where on Earth did you come up with that?  I'm pretty sure you just made that up.  But if simply reporting about something stupid that Trump said can be classified as negative, I suppose the media is guilty as charged. 

What?!  DT being victimized again?  That poor man!

He should take his blanket and go home to his current wife, teach all you bullies a lesson.

Trump the lapdog of Putin, writing lovely letters with the North Korean dictator. Great choice.

What's more, 82.372% of the "statistics" I quote are completely made up, the other 17.628% are from Fox News!
