Brady, a former congressman, told Fox News that the Harris campaign has only been in contact with the local coordinating campaign his team is working with.

Brady acknowledged the campaign had a busy schedule, but said even a quick Zoom call with volunteers would have given them “some excitement,” but it never materialized.

Brady said the way the campaign is being run in Philadelphia is indicative of how the Harris campaign is running its operations across the country.

“It kind of looks like that, doesn’t it? I talked about our Yaka districts, they didn’t show any respect to them. They screamed and asked for signs. They couldn’t take them until the last minute, so we didn’t take them to the last minute. It’s not possible to take them to the last minute, and I think this is indicative throughout the country and the vote shows this.” shows,” Brady.

Brady said that when aid arrived in Philadelphia, it consisted of volunteers from other parts of the country who had no connection with the local community.

“They have a clipboard, they knock on the door, they leave literature and they leave. ‘How’s your mom? How’s your dad? How are your kids doing?'” Brady said. “They don’t say.” he said. “That’s even more important, when you get your committee members to do that in the neighborhoods where they live, there’s a human touch.

He said the campaign should reach out to experienced operators in the field to find out what help and resources they need.

“Ask us for help. We know how to do it. This isn’t our first campaign. It might be his, but it’s not ours. And he was attacked at the last minute. OK, then come to us. We’ll tell you what we need to do. How we’re supposed to do it? And it didn’t happen.” said Brady.

Brady says it was a mistake for President Biden to drop out of the race and believes he would have performed better than Harris had she remained on the ticket.

“I think we’d be better off with Joe Biden. I think he’d do a better job. And that shows that, differently from 2020 to 2024, his margins are much higher than hers across the country.”

“He had a bad debate. Obama had a bad debate. Fetterman had a bad debate. He could get over it because he talked a lot of times. Then he came to a cocktail party with maybe a thousand people. He talked great. Ben Brady on President Biden “We were with him at the union on Friday, he spoke wonderfully,” he said.

And now blaming him, actually having someone blame him for his loss… What about the candidate? Maybe there’s a problem there.”

Brady also found Harris’ selection surprising. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz He chooses Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as his vice president and says this decision costs both the state and other states.

“We would win Pennsylvania and maybe win other parts of the state, other parts of the country because he was campaigning in other parts of the country,” Brady said.

“He’s a great campaigner. He’s outspoken. He looks good. He speaks well. Everybody loves him. He would do a great job as vice president in Texas, Omaha, wherever you take him. He would do a great job.” “We’d have a lock, let alone in the state of Pennsylvania.”

Brendan McPhillips, a senior adviser to Harris’ campaign, hit back at Brady’s claims and accused her of not raising enough money for the campaign’s operations in the city.

“No serious person can say they have an answer to what is causing the nationwide trends. voters There are less than 24 hours left until the polls close. If there’s one immediate takeaway from Philadelphia’s involvement this cycle, it’s that Mayor Brady’s decades-long practice of ducking campaigns to make money to compensate for his own lack of fundraising ability or leadership is a worthless endeavor that no future campaign should ever be forced to engage in. Entertain again.”

McPhillips added: “The thousands of dedicated staff and volunteers in the Harris campaign should be applauded for their efforts in the face of an unprecedented campaign and they will undoubtedly be the ones to dust themselves off and get back to work.”
