Momentum shifts against Harris in presidential race
In recent weeks, some Democrats who have been watching the ever-so-slight changes in the polling have grown concerned that the election could go sideways for them.
“We should be on an upward trajectory,” one Democratic strategist said. “That’s the sign of a campaign that’s on its way to winning. The fact that we’re not is troublesome to say the least.”
Another strategist agreed, saying, “This is not where we want to be with less than three weeks to go. This is terrifying.”
The Harris campaign is taking chances, putting the vice president on Fox News for an interview Thursday night. It’s a bold move, and one some thought the candidate might not have made if she were further ahead.
Obama made waves last week when he scolded Black male voters about supporting Harris, suggesting she could lose without them coming out in big numbers. The tone of Obama’s remarks were notable and again seemed to point to larger concerns within the Democratic Party about the race.
