Harris was ‘completely shocked’ she did not win election
When Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election and endorsed Harris, she was locked and loaded.
They were about even after the announcement, but Harris was then spotted nearly a four-point lead by September, then she started to go backward, yet she was somehow shocked when she lost.
The Early Days
In early August, just weeks after being handed the nomination, Harris started to see a steady climb in the polls and by September 1, she was more than three points ahead of Trump, a lead she would hold until October, which is when Trump put the pedal to the metal.
Trump was everywhere, and Harris was nowhere, and that lead she had started to get eaten up. More so every time Harris opened up her mouth and let out a word salad.
By late October, the lead was down to one, and some polls even had Trump winning at this point.
One the eve of the election, I predicted a Trump win, and I was being very conservative with my estimates, but I felt that Harris was going the wrong way and Trump and the RNC were hitting it out of the park with their messaging. And as we all know, Trump won a landslide electoral college vote as well as winning the popular vote for the GOP for the first time in decades.
It Was You
When Harris lost, the media and Democrats started to immediately rely on the old calling cards of calling Americans who did not vote for her being racist and sexist.
The numbers told a different story, however, as Harris did not just get beat in battleground states, she lost huge chunks of voter blocks in solid blue states, such as California and New York.
This was about Harris, and nothing else, as her campaign was defined by Harris walking back long-standing positions and trying to separate herself from the Biden administration, when, from day one, she had been portrayed as a shot caller for Biden.
Harris did not lose this race because she was a woman or person of color. She lost it just like she lost her 2020 primary race. She lost the race because of Kamala Harris.
Harris 'Shocked' at Loss
Just as I had predicted, the tell-all books are loading up the bookshelves now, and while are focused on the Biden fall from grace, they are also looking at Harris.
Amie Parness, a reporter for The Hill who just appeared on the "Somebody's Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri” podcast, revealed, "She was completely shocked, and [Harris' running mate] Tim Walz was shocked.” Parnes is the co-author of one of the tell-all books, called "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.”
Parness stated, "They thought that they were going to win. And so, you know, when they come back now and say, 'Oh, no, we didn't really have a chance.' No, that's not what they were thinking. They thought they were going to win.”
They 100% thought they were going to win because they were counting on TDS to kick in, but the fact of the matter was that people had enough of the lies and deceit, not to mention, like the 2020 race, nobody actually trusted or had confidence in Harris, especially with Walz as her vice president. It would appear that everyone saw the loss coming except for Harris.
