An alarming revelation has emerged from the left as a key figure in Kamala Harris’s super PAC, Future Forward, starts to raise the red flags for the vice president’s 2024 ambitions. Chauncey McLean, the proud captain of this money-raising vessel, is cautioning the Democrats that the rosy scenarios they cherish might just be built on a house of cards. While the public polls might paint a sunny picture, McLean’s own insights suggest the reality is far grimmer for the woman who failed to find her footing during her last presidential run.
In a recent discussion at the revered University of Chicago Institute of Politics, McLean mused about the multiple “paths” Harris can take to victory. This could be interpreted as classic Democrat misdirection—she’s got routes, but the destination remains a hazy mirage. Amongst the states they’re sweating over are crucial battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. But let’s not kid ourselves: a “coin flip” isn’t exactly a vote of confidence; it’s more like a desperate grasp at hope.
Harris Super PAC Founder Issued This Stern Warning for Democrats

The situation in Pennsylvania is particularly precarious, with McLean labeling it the Democrats’ make-or-break state. If Harris can’t secure this vital piece of the puzzle, she might find herself on the outside looking in when it comes to the White House. It appears she needs to snag a win in one of three pivotal states: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, or Georgia. Good luck with that, kamala—especially since the ghosts of Biden’s political strategies loom large over her campaign like a bad sequel no one wanted.
Despite all the confidence that Harris might draw from her racial identity and gender, history has shown this base isn’t exactly enthusiastic. Let’s not forget that the squad of supporters gleefully rallied to the metaphorical gallows and cheered her on until she dropped out of the race before even making it to Iowa back in 2020. Now, she has the opportunity to regain their favor, but reports from the trenches suggest that her standing is no better than the former president. The heightened Democratic enthusiasm is likely a rebound effect from Biden’s departure rather than any fiery passion for Harris herself.
And it seems that Harris’s failure to articulate meaningful policy ideas is making matters worse. Democrats are requesting more than just fluffy speeches and vague platitudes. McLean’s insight suggests they want substance, and what they’ve gotten from Harris so far could barely be classified as policy. The former California Attorney General has consistently delivered a disaster show, and the crowd is beginning to demand more than just the bare minimum. In a race where the stakes are higher than ever, it might be time for her to trade in the talking points for something a bit meatier—or risk being the party’s punchline once again.
