‘These polls are not really moving’: Harris campaign reportedly having ‘flashbacks to 2016’

You know things are dire when even CNN is reporting on Vice President Kamala Harris’s behind-the-scenes disaster.

Following several weak interviews that did nothing to alter public perception of her leadership capabilities, it’s being reported that Harris’s campaign team is starting to have some deja vu. Some are recalling Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign as they watch Harris struggle in the polls. CNN pulled back the curtain on the anxiety that Democrats have started to experience despite their best efforts to sell the vice president as the best possible option in 2024.

Watch:

CNN White House correspondent Priscilla Alvarez broke down the panic that is starting to creep into the Democrat side of the ticket.

“This has been a campaign that was described by multiple Democrats, allies, aides, to the vice president as a ‘good vibes’ campaign, but what’s also creeping in now is that anxiety,” she explained. “The reason for that is because these polls are not really moving. Despite multiple battleground blitzes, despite the opportunities she has had across media outlets. There is still not a lot of movement from voters who are moving more towards her versus former President Donald Trump.”

“In fact, I had one source describe it to me this way, quote: ‘People are nervous. They know the polls are tight … A lot of us are having these flashbacks to 2016 too. We know when it can go the wrong way, and it can still feel fresh,'” Alvarez continued. “So 2016 is the key here. When I talked to Harris campaign officials, it often comes up in conversation; where did Hillary Clinton have her pitfalls and where can they make up that ground and build on what Joe Biden did in 2020?”
