Vice President Kamala Harris has managed to snag the Democratic nomination as President Biden bows out, leading the left into what they are trying to sell as an exhilarating race against Donald Trump. The liberal media is spinning this narrative like it’s some kind of summer blockbuster, claiming there’s newfound enthusiasm in the Democrat camp now that it’s Harris taking center stage instead of Biden. Yet, while some may argue she’s got a temporary boost in excitement—because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t be excited to see someone other than Biden on a political stage—Trump still appears to hold the cards when it comes to issues that matter to everyday Americans.
Recently, a poll from the Financial Times and the University of Michigan raised eyebrows. Somehow, it was found that voters trust Harris over Trump to handle the economy with a razor-thin margin of 42-41 percent. This is the same Trump who had consistently led polls throughout the year, often by double digits, proving that voters tend to trust his economic savvy far more than they do the far-left antics of Harris and her lackluster platform. Abstaining from the “trust neither” chapter of this election saga, which surprisingly accounts for about ten percent of respondents, the results still seem as shaky as a House of Cards set in a windstorm.

Comparative history reveals that the only reason Harris might enjoy any smidge of trust now is due to Biden’s catastrophic polling. One political expert noted that Harris’s numbers say more about her predecessor’s failure than her achievements, which frankly isn’t saying much, given that she hasn’t even won a primary yet. The average American still remembers her past performances—ranging from awkward debate moments to cringe-worthy interviews—so the general public is unlikely to be rushing to familiarize herself with her radical leftist policies now.
The chutzpah here is astounding, especially since the polls show that 50 percent of voters think they’re worse off since Biden took office, with many directly blaming his policies for rising prices. A majority blame inflation on “large corporations,” but here’s the kicker: 39 percent also finger Democratic policies. That’s quite the indictment against the party steering this ship! Meanwhile, it’s crystal clear that Trump’s agenda has led voters to believe they’ll be financially better off if he wins in 2024—because who wouldn’t trust the guy who oversaw a booming economy prior to the pandemic?
Communications from Harris have been nothing short of laughable. She’s claimed that tackling inflation will be her “day one priority,” all while conveniently ignoring her four years as Vice President tasked with current economic havoc. Quite the magic trick she’s attempting! Despite trying to adopt Trump’s policies—like the now-familiar idea of excluding taxes on tips for service workers—Harris’s late-game attempts to shed Biden’s baggage while simultaneously embracing it highlight the party’s internal confusion.
Polling itself has become a circus act; the liberal think tanks are attempting to convince voters that Harris is leading, even as evidence suggests otherwise. Political analysts believe this push is a calculated maneuver by biased polling firms to create a mirage of Democratic strength. It begs the question: Are we really witnessing Harris’s triumph or just the echo of a party scrambling for relevance? The ultimate irony here is that voters are trending toward Trump, not because they love a reality television star, but because they remember what it was like to see their dollars stretch further without the choking grip of inflation. Or, as Jim Cramer succinctly put it: “If you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump.” That sounds like solid advice and the kind of wisdom Democrats struggle to grasp as they dance through their economic amnesia.
