    Harris raises fears of ‘fascist’ Trump as poll numbers fall

    Harry Posted on

    Kamala Harris is forced to put aside joy and turn to growing fear of Donald Trump as he completely fails to define himself to the American people.

    play

    For a candidate who has inexplicably changed his view on every important issuePerhaps it’s no surprise that Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign also did a complete 180.

    “What started with a bang” this summerjoy” And “good vibesNow that we are approaching the elections, it has suddenly turned into something very different.

    Democrats were drawn to Harris’ happy personality and big smile, and for a while it seemed like that was enough to put her within striking distance of former President Donald Trump. It also helped that his boss wasn’t President Joe Biden. its decline has become impossible to cover up.

    But Harris’ initial shake-up was in vain, and polls showed her We are losing ground in these critical last days of the campaign – while Trump was winning.

    That’s why in recent days the tone of Harris’ campaign has changed dramatically from jubilation to fear-mongering. Gone are the days when he focused on the “economics of opportunity.” It’s time to call Trump a “fascist.”

    Will scare tactics drive voters to Harris? Suspicious.

    At several recent events, Harris has stepped up her dire warnings about what Trump’s second term will be like. From his home in Washington DC, Harris told reporters on Wednesday He said Trump was “increasingly unstable and unstable” and “wanted unchecked power.”

    Harris chose to respond to recent media interviews with Trump’s former White House chief of staff and retired general John Kelly. Kelly is quoted as saying the following to Trump:falls within the general definition of fascist.”

    Later that day, at a Pennsylvania town hall with CNN, host Anderson Cooper asked Harris directly if she thought Trump was a fascist. “Yes, it is,” he said.

    So what causes this change in tone? It all has to do with polls.

    Idea: Why is Trump doing so well in the polls? It’s economics, stupid.

    Several recent polls show the race is tightening, trending in Trump’s favor. A. Wall Street Journal’s new survey It found Trump leading Harris 47% to 45%. In August, Harris led Trump by 2 points.

    Bad for Harris, too: Voters view the vice president more negatively; While 53% view it negatively, 45% view it positively. These figures equalized in August.

    Job approval rating also dropped, making it more harmonious Where was Biden before he left race in July. While it has a degree of -12 (54% disapprove; 42% approve), voters rate Trump’s job performance in office much higher, at +4 points; 52% approve and 48% disapprove.

    Trump also dominates when it comes to the issues voters care about most. Journal survey i found this “More voters have a negative than positive view of Trump’s economic plan for the country by 10 points, while negative views of Harris’ economic plan outweigh positive views by 4 points.”

    Similarly, a recent NBC News poll While 45 percent of registered voters believe the Biden-Harris administration’s policies have “hurt” their families, only 25 percent said those policies have helped them. By comparison, 44% of voters said Trump’s policies helped them while he was in office (31% said they hurt them).

    That’s why Harris wants to change the conversation.

    Idea: I am a non-MAGA conservative. Holy liberals make me want to vote for Trump.

    Harris turns topic to Trump for failing to define herself

    If it’s unclear what Harris is trying to do, she is scheduled to make a statement. Speaking at the same location outside the White House on Tuesday It’s where President Trump gave his address shortly before the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

    It will tell you how scary it will be for the country and democracy if Trump is re-elected.

    Harris has to put aside the glee and turn to this rhetoric because completely failed to define himself It’s about the American people and what his presidency will look like. He repeatedly failed to say what he would do differently than Biden. Including CNN town hall.

    He is filling this huge void with fear of Trump. However, this is not a new tactic and Failed for both Hillary Clintons in 2016 and it has proven ineffective for Biden in recent years. Remember Biden’s dark rhetoric in his 2022 speech, when he warned: Trump and MAGA’s “threat to democracy.“Even a ominous blood red background to underline his point.

    Biden also called Trump and his supporters Advocates of “semi-fascism”.”

    Troubles with Trump couldn’t save Biden’s campaign this year. Don’t count on Harris to help you either.

    We already know it’s not Trump. But we still don’t know who he is.
