Axios is reporting to day that Democrats are very worried that Kamala isn’t winning enough of the Blue Wall states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and thus could lose the race for president.
Specifically, they don’t believe Kamala’s very recent media blitz is moving the needle among voters despite heaving spending and favorable coverage.
Here’s more:
Top Democratic politicians and operatives tell us the vital states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are getting tougher for Vice President Harris and the party’s Senate candidates.
Harris is depending on that Blue Wall to win the White House, even if she struggles in the Sunbelt. On private calls, some top Harris allies are saying they believe the race will come down to Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Pennsylvania is arguably the most important state on the map for Harris. Tell us who wins Pennsylvania, and we can tell you who’s very likely to be president-elect. Harris, former President Trump and their allies plan to spend $350 million on TV ads in Pennsylvania — $142 million more than the next closest state, Michigan, the N.Y. Times reports.
Reflecting Democratic antsiness, James Carville — who helped mastermind Bill Clinton’s victory in 1992…tells us the Harris campaign “needs to be more aggressive.”
David Axelrod, the operative behind Barack Obama’s victory in 2008, says Harris “made steady, incremental progress in the 10 days after the [Sept. 10] debate, but now the race has plateaued.”
The race in these blue wall states is really close, if not a virtual tie right now. This is the latest from RCP on the polling for each state:
I really think at this point Trump has a lot of momentum whereas Kamala is plateauing. The energy in the country seems to be for Trump no matter how much good press the garbage media gives Kamala.
But we’ll see what happens on election day (or a week later).
