With two weeks left in the race, everything is falling perfectly into place for Kamala Harris.

Voters view Harris more favorably than Trump

The latest AP poll from today shows 50% of voters view Harris favorably, while only 40% hold a favorable view of Trump.

And

Among Black voters, Harris dominates Trump, with 75% holding a favorable view of her, while only 20% view Trump as favorable.

Even among Hispanic voters, Harris leads Trump in favorability, with 60% holding a favorable view compared to 40% for Trump.

Translation: Harris is the more likable candidate.

First, former GOP Senator from AZ reiterates support for Harris

The former Republican Senator of Arizona, Jeff Flake, released a video that now has 2.4 million views on X explaining why conservatives should vote for Harris: “I’m voting for Kamala Harris not in spite of being a conservative, but because I’m a conservative. Conservatives believe in the rule of law.”

That’s right. Harris is the only candidate in the race who isn’t a convicted felon.

Then, Mark Cuban campaigned for Harris with Latino voters in AZ

Over the weekend, Mark Cuban sat down with a group of Latino voters in Arizona and said to them: “I'm here to tell you how you can make more money under Kamala Harris than you would under Donald Trump.”

He then laid out Harris’ plan to put more money in the pockets of middle-class and working-class Americans by increasing tax credits for small businesses and expanding child tax credits for families.

Impactful, especially coming from Cuban

He simultaneously praised Harris’ economic agenda and debunked the narrative that Trump is “good” for the economy — when, in reality, Trump’s policies destroyed our economy, ballooned our national debt, and spiraled us into a recession.

And today

Harris is currently campaigning in Wisconsin with Liz Cheney, where they're holding three 'moderated conversations' in suburban swing communities — aiming to sway independents, undecideds, and disillusioned Republicans to Team Harris.

Meanwhile

Trump spent the weekend rambling about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia and pretending to work at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania — all while plotting to eliminate overtime pay for workers in his second term.

A bad look for his campaign, and the backlash is growing

Not only is Trump sliding in the polls as business leaders and Republicans campaign against him, but his McDonald’s stunt was so poorly received that it might have just cost him a key voting bloc in a must-win battleground state:
