Kamala Harris Accelerates Campaign Momentum in Final Weeks Before Election

[Social Media]

 

Kamala Harris is gearing up for a 71-day sprint toward the November 5th election, with a strategy designed to outpace Donald Trump, dominate news coverage, and make inroads in key battleground states. Her campaign is structured around a few critical objectives: to outwork her opponent, maintain a strong media presence, and focus her efforts on states that could expand her paths to victory.

 

Harris' determination is evident as she intensifies her campaign efforts this week. Her schedule is packed, starting with a bus tour through southern Georgia—a state that has recently shown potential for Democratic gains. This tour marks the beginning of a relentless push to engage voters and increase her visibility across the nation. In addition to the bus tour, Harris is set to participate in her first interview as a presidential candidate, a significant milestone that underscores her growing presence in the race. Moreover, her team is ramping up preparations for the highly anticipated September 10th debate against Donald Trump, which is expected to be a pivotal moment in the campaign.

 

Harris’ campaign is riding a wave of positive momentum following the Democratic convention, with polls showing encouraging signs. Her team is keen to maintain this momentum by keeping the pressure on Trump and promoting Harris’ message of optimism, which contrasts sharply with Trump's divisive rhetoric. The vice president's strategy is not just about winning votes; it's about offering a clear alternative to Trump’s vision, one that resonates with a broad spectrum of Americans who are looking for leadership that embodies strength, decency, the rule of law, and individual freedom.

 

Although Harris has introduced several policy proposals aimed at supporting first-time homeowners, the working class, and other key demographics, her senior advisers are cautious about unveiling fully developed policy plans before Election Day. The rationale behind this decision is rooted in the reality of Harris' late entry into the race, which has forced her team to prioritize certain aspects of the campaign. With limited time before the election, Harris and her advisers believe that focusing on broad, aspirational themes will be more effective in countering Trump than getting bogged down in the specifics of policy debates.

 

A key element of Harris’ strategy is to maximize media coverage without relying solely on paid advertisements. This approach is evident in her busy schedule, which is designed to generate news coverage that keeps her in the public eye. Nonetheless, her team has allocated a significant budget—$370 million—for TV and digital ads that will be deployed between Labor Day and Election Day, ensuring that her message reaches as many voters as possible.

 

One of the most anticipated events in Harris' campaign is the upcoming debate against Donald Trump, which will be hosted by ABC News. This debate is seen as a critical moment that could potentially alter the course of the election. Harris' team is well aware of the stakes and has been working tirelessly to prepare her for the onslaught of falsehoods they expect from Trump. The vice president has already participated in a mock debate at Howard University prior to the Democratic convention and plans to engage in several more practice sessions before the real showdown. A small, dedicated group of aides, including policy advisers Brian Nelson and Rohini Kosoglu, along with Harris' White House and campaign chiefs of staff Sheila Nix and Lorraine Voles, are assisting her in these preparations.

 

The debate is not just an opportunity for Harris to showcase her skills; it's a chance to solidify her position as a viable contender in the eyes of the electorate. Both campaigns recognize the importance of this event—Trump’s team hopes for a misstep from Harris that could go viral, while Harris' team knows that a strong, steady performance is crucial to reinforcing the belief that she can win in November. Acknowledging the criticism that she has been in office for 3½ years, Harris' team understands the need to effectively address this line of attack, which Republicans have used to link her to the perceived shortcomings of the Biden administration.

 

In parallel with preparing for the debate, Harris’ campaign is also focused on expanding its reach in swing states. Dan Kanninen, the Harris campaign's battleground states director, emphasized the importance of building momentum following the Democratic convention. "It's important to have a place to put that energy," Kanninen noted, highlighting the ongoing efforts to bolster the campaign’s team and voter outreach in key states that could tip the balance in the election.

 

Harris' campaign has been proactive in responding to Trump's false statements, but the strategy for the debate may involve a more measured approach. "I would let Trump be Trump," said Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro when asked what advice he would give Harris for her debate against the former president. Shapiro believes that Harris has the opportunity to remind voters of Trump’s past actions and the risks he poses for the future. "She is a skilled debater. She will do that effectively," he added, expressing confidence in Harris' ability to handle the high-pressure situation.

 

As the election draws nearer, Harris’ campaign is clearly in full throttle, with a well-defined strategy aimed at securing victory. Whether through relentless campaigning, strategic media engagement, or meticulous debate preparation, Kamala Harris is making her case to the American people, positioning herself as the leader who can guide the nation forward in a time of division and uncertainty. The next 71 days will be crucial, and Harris is leaving nothing to chance in her bid to win the presidency.

Wait until the debates. She will be destroyed (assuming she is decent enough to participate).

The debates Trump is now showing signs of chickening out of?

Her momentum includes flip flopping and copying Trump policies. She's trying to outdo Biden's plagiarism achievements. she could in fact be dumber than Biden and probably is ...LOL. Kamala is so pathetic. 

This election is growing more bizarre each and every day with arguably the biggest bird brain in American politics undemocratically installed with ZERO primary votes after the decomposing retard Biden was tossed out. This is AMAZING and something that the democrats would probably not brag about for the next 1000 years. BIG headwinds for Trump going forward.

Give your head a good shake, Harris's handlers chickened/turtled her out of a FOX news debate. She would make a bigger fool of herself than Biden. LOL.

At least she knows what the Constitution is and what State she’s in on anyone given day.

 

Her aversion to coddling dictators and tyrants is also in her favor, as is her ability to talk without slurring.

2017

On December 5, the Trump administration took its first major step toward allowing employers to legally pocket the tips earned by the workers they employ. The Department of Labor (DOL) released a proposed rule that would allow restaurants to take the tips that servers earn and share them with untipped employees such as cooks and dishwashers.1 But, crucially, the rule doesn’t actually require that employers distribute “pooled” tips to workers. Under the administration’s proposed rule, as long as tipped workers earn minimum wage, employers could legally pocket those tips. Now he wants to untax them

 

2020 Mr. Trump issued an order barring TikTok from U.S. app stores unless the company, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, could resolve concerns that it was a threat to national security. Now “Trump is going to keep TikTok going, whereas Biden-Harris, they have no idea what it means,” Mr. Trump told the internet celebrity Adin Ross this week, suggesting that a ban would somehow be good for China. He added: “We’re going to save TikTok; they want to destroy TikTok.”

Making clear that the policy is an election gambit, he said: “So all of the people on TikTok, vote for Trump.”

Refusing to do interviews is a winning strategy for Harris. If the masses knew what her policies were they would be shocked. I think she's going to win, then the people will get what they voted for, a true socialist who believes in wealth redistribution.

It can be a winning strategy....IF the corporate media lets her get away with it. Any journalist worth his/her salt should be apoplectic about it though.  It says a lot about the sad state of journalism in America that they acquiese instead of making it THE story.  

 

Latest national polling shows her up by 1.7%, which means a loss in the election.   Trump still ahead in 5 of 7 swing states.  Not much of a convention bump it seems.

Sure.  Any time I quote polls, it is generally Real Clear Politics polling average. They tend to be accurate.

Did you base your conclusion on the RCP average. RCP doesn't weight its averages to account for pollster reliability.  Fiver-thirty-eight does.

It has Harris at 47.1 % vs Trump at 43.6%

As for Harris' alleged lack of convention bump... The first aggregate polling average is from Aug 18, the day before the convention

 

The second is from Aug 23, the day after the convention

Actually, not so accurate. They tend to be a bit simpleminded since they give all polls equal weight.

It's true that RCP is funded, not just by conservatives, but by extreme right wingers. They also own the notorious westernjournal.com.  That said, their aggregation method, while it's a bit simplistic, is very open. I think it has a pretty good record.
