Trump is going to be in North Carolina, Miami, and elsewhere tomorrow.
Kamala Harris will not be on the campaign trail.
Then, Harris and her team have decided to go to Texas, Kentucky, and Florida — three states she will not win.
When Trump went to New York and California, Democrats laughed at the arrogance of thinking he would win those states. As I told everyone, he was going for House Republicans.
Democrats who mocked Trump are now cheering on Harris’s campaign retooling for red states.
But this is not what a winning campaign does in the last twelve days of the campaign. This is about Congress. Harris is giving up trying to win the White House and, instead, is trying to shore up House and Senate seats.
This is exactly what Bob Dole did at the end of the 1996 campaign. It was obvious in the Dole campaign’s internal polling that he was going to lose. So Dole, instead, shifted to campaign in swing districts in Republican states to maximize Republican turnout for Congress.
Now, Harris is doing Dole’s strategy. It signals the presidential race is all but over.
I’ve heard the opposite conclusion: that the Harris campaign is so confident of sweeping the 7 battleground states that they’ve moved to supporting congressional candidates. Seems far fetched but some are saying this.
I do not think I agree. This is too close. and i hope it is not 2016 the other way.
