Harris Takes Command, Trump's New Ploy Shows Campaign Bracing For Defeat
Harris surges in PA post-debate, as Donald's team resorts to a strategy of desperation
Kamala Harris beat Trump in Pennsylvania’s debate last week and doubled down on several campaign events in the state afterward.
And it appears her work is paying off.
The data
Harris now leads Trump in the latest NYT/Siena poll 50-46, a 4 point margin in the swing state with the highest amount of electoral college votes.
And expect that lead to increase, because
The Western PA Teamsters just announced their endorsement of Harris, crediting her for “saving” Teamster pensions with her tie-breaking vote in the Senate.
They also slammed Trump as an “egotistical bully” who “doesn’t care about working people.”
We’ll need every vote we can get, so an endorsement like this could move the needle.
So will this: 111 Republican National Security Leaders Endorse Vice President Harris
Over 100 GOP officials from past Administrations just signed a new letter endorsing Kamala Harris for President.
In it, they list out the myriad reasons why Trump is unfit and unqualified for the Presidency: “We firmly oppose the election of Donald Trump. As President, he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests, and betrayed our values, democracy, and this country’s founding documents.”
His crimes, his chaos, and his animosity toward veterans are glaring red-flags for Republicans.
So was January 6th
Then, the group correctly accused Trump of violating his oath to Office on January 6th: “In our view, by inciting the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and defending those who committed it, he has violated his oath of office and brought danger to our country.”
His disrespect for the Constitution is another message to hammer in the final stretch.
Finally
The Republicans reveal their endorsement for Harris: “We expect to disagree with Kamala Harris on many domestic and foreign policy issues, but we believe that she possesses the essential qualities to serve as President and Donald Trump does not. We therefore support her election to be President.”
A huge endorsement to bag with 7 weeks left to go.
The takeaway
Trump’s disregard for the rule of law, disrespect for our troops, and lack of basic human decency will cost him blocs of Independents and Republicans.
Which is why Trump is banking on a new desperate scheme
With more Republicans bailing on Trump and denouncing his candidacy, his team has now resorted to a last-ditch swing state ploy that’s basically them waving the white flag:
