What began as a campaign centered around positivity has shifted to one marked by frustration and urgency.
With just over two weeks until the election, Kamala Harris is intensifying her efforts to maintain her presidential campaign amid declining poll ratings.The Democratic nominee is grappling with internal criticism from colleagues who are frustrated by her approach as the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania appears to slip away.
Harris has shifted from a previously cautious strategy of engaging with friendly media outlets to seeking support from new voter demographics.
As the stakes rise, her focus has increasingly turned to former President Donald Trump, with lies about the threat he poses to the American way of life becoming central to her campaign messaging.
Fox News commentator David Marcus observed, “All the campaign has left is to attack Trump as unfit. He has erased the sugar-high, joy-induced lead Harris enjoyed two months ago, so that only leaves personal attacks.”
Trump’s recent rise in the polls, showing him leading by a huge margin in key states, has prompted a sense of urgency within Harris’s campaign.
Initially buoyed by enthusiasm after Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July, Harris’s momentum has waned, leading to tension between her and the Biden administration.
