ROOKE: Harris Campaign’s 11th Hour Looks Like A Nightmare
With just eight days left in the presidential election, there are clear signs that Vice President Kamala Harris is on unsteady ground.
Democrats started whispering to their friends in the corporate press about their election-day fears that Harris could lose to former President Donald Trump.
“A growing number of top Democrats tell us privately they feel Vice President Harris will lose — even though polls show a coin-toss finish 11 days from now,” Axios reported. “Democrats admit they tend to be hand-wringing, bed-wetting, doomsdayers. But what’s striking is how our private conversations with Democrats inside and outside her campaign reveal broad concern that little she does, says — or tries — seems to move the needle.”

It’s never a good sign when Democrats (even anonymously) tell the media their candidate is going to lose and that nothing she does “seems to move the needle.” The polling shows that while the election is still close and could go either way, Trump has a shot to win not only the Electoral College vote but also the popular vote.
The RealClear polling average has Trump up just 0.2% in the national poll, the first time he’s led since Harris first entered the race. Emerson, NY Times/Sienna and CNN all have polls showing that Harris and Trump are tied for the popular vote. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal and Forbes polls both show that Trump wins the popular vote by two points.

A Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won the popular vote since former President George W. Bush in 2004. Trump’s support was on full display Sunday in Manhattan when voters turned out in droves, occupying block after block in dark blue New York City wearing MAGA hats and other Trump gear to hear him speak.
The media did their usual dog and pony show, attempting to connect Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to the Nazi Party rally held there in 1930. Outside of Harris’ staunch supporters, regular voters see this rhetoric for what it is — Democrat propaganda. It’s hard to make people believe the lie that “Trump is a Nazi” when there are supporters from every race and religion in the crowd.

To make matters worse for Harris, CNN reported that executives from major Big Tech firms, like Apple, Meta, Google, and Amazon, have all recently knocked on Trump’s door.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked with Trump after he survived his first assassination attempt in July. Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly called Trump to discuss his company’s legal issues in Italy. Google CEO Sundar Pichai contacted Trump about his dominance in Google’s algorithm after his appearance at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s, the former president said. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy even called Trump to “check in,” the outlet reported.

“There are some that seem to be waking up to the fact that, like, ‘Holy sh*t, this guy might get elected again. I don’t want to have him, his administration, going after us,’” a person close to Trump told CNN. “What he’s saying out loud, I think they hear, and they’re taking it seriously.”
Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of Amazon and The Washington Post, blocked his outlet’s editorial team from endorsing Harris for president. Robert Kagan, a member of the opinions section who resigned in protest, told CNN Friday, “This is obviously an effort by Jeff Bezos to curry favor with Donald Trump in the anticipation of his possible victory.”
The New York Post reported this morning that Bezos attended a call with reporters upset over his decision to stay out of the race, giving them a “mandate to add more conservative voices to its opinion section.”

While it’s impossible to predict the outcome of the 2024 election, it has to terrify Democrats to see their national popularity slipping to a man they claim is a threat to (big D) democracy.
Harris is heading into Nov. 5 without the popular vote lead she needs to help push her over the line in critical swing states, without the explicit support from corporate media outlets and with the knowledge that even Big Tech CEOs are lining up outside Trump’s office to “check-in.”
