A hurricane, a labor strike, and wars breaking out left and right—these crises are all under the Biden-Harris administration’s watch with just a month to go before the election. Yet, Former President Donald Trump pulls a fast one on the Democrats, who have spent months warning voters about the “chaos” he’d bring back to the White House. Apparently, chaos is already knocking at the Biden administration’s door and guests are not happy.
Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to paint a picture of a stark choice for voters: freedom versus chaos. However, her rallying cry is falling flat as Americans find themselves grappling with raging battles in the Middle East, an unfettered flood of illegal immigrants at the southern border, and devastated communities in Georgia and North Carolina begging for assistance after Hurricane Helene went on a rampage. Meanwhile, President Biden made a dramatic entrance in North Carolina via helicopter, where he aimed to show concerned citizens that help was on the way—eventually. The reality is that while billions are allocated to foreign aid and to sheltering illegal immigrants, disaster victims are left wondering why they are an afterthought.

Criticism against Biden and Harris is mounting, primarily for their late arrival on the scene and for not equipping disaster response teams with adequate resources. Mr. Biden’s attempt to reassure the public that “we’ve given them all we have” in response to devastation sounds more like a desperate plea than a rallying cry. The plummeting approval ratings make it clear that while taxpayers foot the bill for countless foreign initiatives, many are left feeling abandoned.
Then there’s the labor strike that has brought shipping on the East Coast to a grinding halt, thanks to the President’s lack of active engagement. Now, the Biden-Harris endorsement of the strike leaves the economy at risk, promising empty store shelves and sidelined workers across the nation. The political reality is that both peace and prosperity seem to be in short supply as the world is simultaneously burning and drowning.
Despite the chaos surrounding them, polls show Trump and Harris are neck and neck in crucial battleground states. As Americans take a hard look at the administration’s performance on issues that truly matter—like the economy and national security—they’re not exactly excited about Ms. Harris’s command. The numbers are telling: 60% of voters feel the country is on the wrong track and they trust Trump on immigration and economic management far more than they do Harris.
Trump has mastered the art of weaving a narrative around Harris as the “chaos candidate,” pointing fingers at her and the Biden administration for allowing crime and disorder to seep into American life. While Harris’s allies scramble to defend her leadership by calling Trump “fickle,” it’s a hollow defense when the evidence of Biden’s own policies resulting in chaos is abundant. The former President’s promise of “peace through strength” is resonating with voters who crave stability, amid what some are calling a crisis fest.
In the wake of the chaos, Harris has taken time out of her campaign to address the flood-stricken areas, but many voters want to know why it took her so long. Coincidence or strategy? While some Democrats believe that swift federal assistance might bolster support for Harris, the skepticism among voters rings louder than a siren. It seems the administration’s attempts to spin grassroots relief efforts in times of national crisis will not wash away the discontent among everyday Americans, but rather add fuel to Trump’s narrative that he can restore order to a nation increasingly adrift.
