In an astonishing turn of events, even the most steadfast liberals are grappling with the reality that Kamala Harris’ campaign was a colossal flop, despite all the loud proclamations from mainstream media. She was proclaimed the queen of the battleground states, leading President Donald Trump by hefty margins according to those well-placed polls. However, behind closed doors, her campaign team knew a different story—one that involved a lot more hope and a lot less actual polling data.
As the election neared, surveys from outlets like CNN and The New York Times touted Harris leading Trump in critical states like Wisconsin and Michigan, painting a rosy picture for her supporters. This optimistic vision sadly fell apart when insiders, including David Plouffe, the senior adviser, made the shocking admission that internal data had her campaign floundering. Plouffe unveiled the truth: they were trailing Trump in key swing states, and their strategy relied heavily on wishful thinking rather than solid polling evidence.
Harris’ campaign investment, a staggering $1.5 billion, now looks more like a high-stakes game of Monopoly than a serious bid for the presidency. One can only imagine how many lattes and avocado toasts that kind of cash could fund instead. It became clear that while public opinion seemed to favor Harris, her internal metrics pointed in the opposite direction, indicating a desperate scramble for votes as Election Day approached.

Plouffe made waves on social media just days before the election, indicating that Trump wasn’t feeling good about his position in Pennsylvania. Fast forward to the election results, and Trump emerged victorious, not just claiming Pennsylvania but all seven swing states, leaving the Harris campaign in tatters. Plouffe’s attempts to spin the narrative post-election only compounded the embarrassment, suggesting that Democrats have a significantly tougher time winning in battlegrounds than they care to admit.
Let’s not forget about that fateful debate, which Harris apparently thought would be her game-changer. Instead, after all the hype, her numbers ticked up a measly 0.5 points, barely enough to warrant a high-five from her team. The revelations that the Harris campaign could not rely on voter turnout should go down as one of the most glaring failures in recent electoral history. With Biden-Harris touting massive numbers in the media, the reality shows a campaign so disconnected from the voters that it might as well have been operating on another planet. The story serves as a reminder: when the media and political elites talk about polls, it’s critical to check their math—and their motives.
