Walz Has Edge On Vance, Trump Digs His Grave Deeper With New Blunder
Coach Tim has the gift of communication and a strong lead on his side, as Donald alienates a voting bloc that has already turned against him
Harris and Walz find themselves with a solid lead heading into tonight’s VP debate, which will likely be a beat-down of epic proportions.
The numbers
The latest poll from Morning Consult has Harris/Walz leading Trump/Vance 51% to 46%, a 5-point margin.
The Democratic duo also holds a commanding 77% to 19% lead among Black voters — a 58-point margin.

Vance, who struggles with basic human interaction and comes across as both disingenuous and unlikable, is severely outmatched by Walz.

Tonight gives Walz a mega-platform to hammer Vance for his ‘childless cat lady’ comments, his extreme anti-abortion stance, and his anti-IVF voting record.

As if having a running mate who once told women to ‘stay in violent marriages’ squaring off against a pro-choice former football coach wasn’t bad enough, Trump’s latest blunder might push female voters away for good:
