So much for the honeymoon period. The momentum is showing no signs of slowing…

American electable public servants were based on "Popularity", an instant one. Not by their deeds nor achievements. People like Donald Trump can be elected as POTUS, the first time(2016)was excusable because he was a celebrity but he is going to be re-elected this year really puzzled me, he ran a coup'de'tat in 2021 and he won't rule it out if he considering the thing is unfair. Harris is equally unelectable, she knows nothing in international politics, good luck Harris your country is in dire danger !
dagon
This is a better sign than the campaign donation haul.
I was initially a naive and hopeful volunteer for the Obama campaign and there is a similar energy with Harris.
Harris is coming across as even more relatable to a large swath of Americans and her policies are also pointing to a shift in DNC neo-liberal boilerplate. She is looking to be a stronger and stronger candidate, and there is not much time left.

Well, I'm not surprised by the surge in donations for Harris. The contrast is so glaring. Trump and the message given by the GOP at the RNC was all doom and gloom. Politicians whining they are not getting what they need or deserve, and even bullying and disparaging outward expressions of joy and love shown by Democrats. People are tired of the MAGA's divisiveness and phony attitudes (Did anyone see JD Vance's attempt at casual conversation in a donut shop?). Everyone knows now that Trump is in this thing for himself, to stay out of jail, and to line his own pockets as much as he can (as evidenced by him trying to sell shoes advertising him getting shot at).

Are they donating because they like Kamala's policies or hate Trump?

About a month ago almost all left-leaning newsrooms and publications wanted Kamala to step aside. She was a lame-duck VP. She was anointed to keep the money in the coffers and not to rock the boat with the donors. Now, like magic, she is the darling of the press and can do no wrong, yet still, most Americans have no idea who she is and what her positions are on policy. the playbook must be to win, then figure it out later. The problem with that is that 70 days is an eternity in politics.

Well, RFK took her momentum off the front page after a 4 day honeymoon abortion/Trump hating convention, not good at a good thing at all.

DEFCON 1 Ketchup Alert!
Preliminary ratings for the Democratic National Convention show Kamala Harris’s keynote speech had 22% more viewers than Donald Trump’s address last month.
Some 15 million people tuned into Harris’s 45-minute speech, according to the combined ratings of seven major networks shared by Michael Mulvihill, president of insights and analytics for the Fox Corporation.
Meanwhile, Trump’s 90-minute, rambling keynote address, had 12.3 million viewers.

The Democrat US presidential campaign, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz both empty vessels, devoid pf policy agenda, scripted political “voice box” propaganda vehicles.
Little on substance, zero political innovation, shallow hollow pledges/promise that never materialised/implemented when the opportunity was desperately needed over the past ¾ years.
I have just returned from New York, I yearned for my first trip to the US/big apple to have been a sightseeing extravaganza. Sadly, this was not the case.
The short last minute request from three of our financial intuitional customers, to construct a team to “war game” a solution-based strategy in the event of a major US recession.
Our team were catapulted through Airport Immigration/customs by a prearranged CBP's Trusted Traveller programme.
For the last two weeks, day after day analysing data. US Election private polling, US economic Federal reserve interest rate monetary policy. A programme to offshore “back office” functions.
The fact the Kamala Harris, Tim Walz have refused to provide clear future economic policy or detail any “one on one “media strategy template.
Bluntly stated to quote National Review
Neither one has done a single interview or press conference — no sit-down with 60 Minutes, no meeting with a newspaper editorial board, no Sunday shows. No interviews with local network television affiliates in swing states. Not even an on-the-record chat with Walz’s hometown papers or radio stations.
One senior executive shockingly scathingly referred to Harris as…
Cackling Kammy keffiyeh the cowering communist.

Harris didn’t even go to the border when she was appointed border czar, yeah, don’t go there. Lol
That’s not even in the top 3 concerning issues for most Americans, but yeah, let Harris drum all day about abortion and Trump will go on about the economy and immigration.

He does, if you bothered to look.
CUT COSTS BY ELIMINATING REGULATION, BOOSTING ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

There is more MAGA hilarity (the black humor kind) of how their messaging has shifted after Harris' DNC speech from all the 'she is hiding, can't deliver a speech, word salad, is low IQ' to 'What about her policies!!'.
It is like Trump they were Biden glitching and still thinking they are running against him.
If you trust Trump then you know she is a 'radical left communist' so you do not need to ask about her policies, end of story.
If you actually google them and have some much needed cognitive dissonance and find out no school lunch debt, affordable for all health care and making billionaires pay the same tax rates as their office workers does not mean Stalinist gulags; you might have some revelation about Trump's rhetoric and Harris' policies.

Fumbling incompetence, every sphere of foreign policy, from the moment both took office.
Afghanistan chaotic disastrous retreat, the deaths 13 US service members , a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport, killing more than 100 Afghans.
The desperation of Afghani clinging to fleeing aircraft. Women launching they infants over razer wire to escape Islamic murderous fundamentalism.
A precursor to Gaza Hamas/Hezbollah and Biden/Harris failed middle eastern policy. Now in imminent danger of spiralling out of control
Biden/Harris appalling record in office is simply being ignored by the main stream US media.
Trump/opposition is being criminalised, open blatant corruption of US justice system.
That shameful DNC illiberal charade masquerade, a global embarrassment of a once great democracy.
You actually wholeheartedly believe Harris is a credible solution!
That is truly terrifying!
Some dude
It's kind of interesting, as an outside observer, to read these articles and the accompanying endless squabbling.
Most of the news I get is from Threads, and the general gist of the comments there is that Trump has basically given up, having seen the momentum of the Democrats' campaign; the only reason he keeps going is to try and stave off his legal problems for a bit longer. And his choice of VP seems to have been a disaster; said VP candidate seems to have been doing a great job of alienating various social groups.
Whereas here, we have a small but (relentlessly) vocal minority who are insistent that he has a genuine chance to win and that literally everything that has ever gone wrong in the history of the US is the fault of democrats.
One thing's certain: if Harris wins, the reactions from around the net are going to be a psychoanalyst's wet dream.
bass4funk
No, it really doesn't, it says that it is a losing issue to talk about in a tight election like this, and abortion is not even in the top 3 issues concerning Americans, so why get bogged down on an issue the left wants to talk about? That makes no sense. Let them talk about it, and Trump and the GOP can talk about the economy, border, and illegals.
Not the vast majority of them, so all is good. They know where he stands as a Pro-lifer, but he's not going there for now. Pick and choose your battles; the economy is a hill that must be fought over.
Well, you have your opinions, nothing wrong with that.

Harris's policies include:
proposing 40 billion dollars in tax incentives for building new homes.
passing legislation to give up to 25,000 dollars to buyers toward a down payment.
passing a federal ban on price gouging in food and grocery industries.
not raising taxes on people making less than 400,000 dollars a year.
proposing a tax credit expansion where low and middle income families can receive up to 6,000 dollars during the first year of their child's life.And this is just the tip of the iceberg. More are on the following link that I think some have already posted:
https://www.thecut.com/article/what-are-kamala-harris-policies.html
Trump policies on the other hand is to:
get rid of the "deep state" by taking away the civil service protections of tens of thousands of employees.
reissue the "Schedule F" 2020 executive order which will reclassify many employees with the intent to focus on so-called "corrupt bureaucrats" who have weaponized the justice system. (which should actually focus on Trump himself since he's shown to do that).
conduct large numbers of deportations. While under that umbrella of deportations, many illegal immigrants are to be deported, many of them will be legally living here, but have so-called "jihadist sympathies". Of course, he hasn't mentioned how it will be judged or found if they have any or not.
move thousands of overseas troops and place them at the U.S.-Mexico border.
drill for more oil on public lands and offer more tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal companies.
require prayer in school. (This boggles my mind since I know Trump has never read the Bible and probably has committed all sins listed in it.)Then of course, there is the extremely controversial Project 2025, which sounds similar to policies instituted during the Reagan years (e.g. cutting taxes for the extremely wealthy, while leaving out the middle to low income classes).

No, only in Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump is leading in every other Battleground state.

No, we just think you can keep talking to yourself about the same thing over and over and over again, you focus on your repeated talking points and we will focus on the economy and border discussions.

538 has the latest average and most recent polling data respectively for each swing state:
AZ HARRIS +1.3 Harris +4 NYT
GA Trump +0.5 Trump +3 NYT
MI Harris +3.3 Harris +7-8 focaldata
NV Harris +0.7 Harris +5 focaldata
NC Harris +0.7 Harris +1 Survey USA
PA Harris +1.8 Harris +2 Activote
WI Harris +3.7 Harris +6 focaldata
Many of these states are quite close but the momentum and numbers have shifted statistically (something beyond the cognition of “some people”).
So fact check: not false

All lib polls, yeah ok….Nate Silver? You are joking, right? lol
Ahhh, they gave Hillary such a glowing review
John
Oh those darned “lib polls” and their “math”, lol.

America is a oligarchy cosplaying as a democracy.

This thought terminating cliche. Notice how they'll criticize Nate Silver, but never clarify why.
Also, Nate Silver is no longer connected to 538, so whatever criticism you had of him is irrelevant anyways.

Thank you - once again, complete SILENCE on THEIR OWN CORE ISSUES...
A clear admission they know they're defeated and "are hiding in their basement"....just like Trump describes them...

Just the other day Trump fans were claiming all RFK supporters would now be voting for Trump. We can see that isn't true.
Considering RFK's pro-abortion, pro-environment stance, do you think she'll be the only RFK supporter not backing Trump? I don't. I think a significant portion of his base will either not vote or back Harris.
Way to condescend the very voters you need to woo to even have a snowball's chance of winning.
Blacklabel
538 in 2020?
“The only misses, however, were those that worked in Trump’s favor: Biden was favored to win Florida, North Carolina and Maine’s 2nd Congressional District when Trump won them instead.”
“However, nearly all of our models’ misses came in the same direction; namely, Republicans won in races where Democrats were favored.”
Blacklabel
your media supposedly found one. Probably a Nikki Haley voter before RFK.
Congratulations, I guess?
John
And yet the Democrats still won.
Huh, that’s funny….
Cards fan
Not just one. There were others in the article. Do you think they're the only ones?
Hey thanks, congratulations on not winning over all those RFK voters.

it might all come down to who does their makeup better.

Yeah, so about the economy.....

What's that got to do with Nate Silver?

Nobody claimed that.
His sister however may swing a few votes.

One wonders what the other one will do?

The crazy world on US broadcast media focuses of personalities foremost,
Analysing policies, whether any are actually feasible achievable is a distant second.
The political propaganda broadcast 24/7, is bordering on the extreme end of misinformation/fakery.

It must of occurred to you that Harris pledges/promises have to fully funded?
Beyond a fanciful wish list?
It also will need cross party support for such an undertaking in congress?
The debt sealing?
United States Bank Lending Rate was reported at 8.500 % pa in Aug 2024.
Also a monthly interest rate of 3.33 percent on US debt.
There is not magic money tree!

No, just not falling into the Dems trap.
Focus on the economy and Dems run on killing babies.

If so, why in this Biden Harris administration, not one Harris proposal every saw the light of day?

No one is killing "babies". That would be murder. 60% of Americans support the termination of pregnancies.
lincolnman
You're the one that said you still believe life begins at conception, but still support someone who says he's OK with killing babies until the 15th week...in your own view, a "child murderer"....
Uh, you're saying the economy is MORE IMPORTANT than the SANCTITY OF LIFE?
That's really interesting - you think the price of a Big Mac is more important than protecting the unborn...
Is that an official Repub position now, because I'm sure all the Christian voters out there would like to know that....
Empty and defeated...

I know why Kamala is afraid of press conferences, interviews, journalists and anyone who wants to ask her meaningful questions—because she doesn’t know what to say.
Back in 2020, she was so far left she had to drop out from the race and now she’s been in office for three and a half years and it’s been a mess so it’s almost like she doesn’t have anything to say.

“ According to what? Certainly isn't the polls. “
I have something to tell you (I’m sure you’re gonna love this)—Approximately 70% of voters don’t want to tell pollsters they’re voting for Trump.

This is true. Abraham Lincoln once said it.

Yep if asked I’m voting for Cornel West.
who the Dems tried and failed to kick off the ballot in Michigan.
why did they try that?

Probably for the same reasons that Republican operatives are propping him up.

Nothing says "we're really confident Trump will when" like backing spolier candidates to split the Democrat vote.

That would be murder.
So why are people not arrested and charged with murder? Because a fetus only becomes a baby at birth when it survives using its organs and not those of the mother.
Who is killing those babies?
60% of Americans support the termination of pregnancies.
About six in ten Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases

clinton won the popular vote in 2016 by 3 million.
it’s polls by state that matter, not general polls.
lincolnman
Which Trump supports up until the 15th week - so once again, why do you support a "child-murderer"?
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suggests-would-support-abortion-ban-15-weeks-pregnancy
BINGO! He finally ADMITS Trump is a child murderer....
Is that one of the things that would cause you to not support him?
Peter Neil
… and keep in mind that republicans are the ones being indicted across the country for voter fraud in 2020.
the phony flag wavers are the ones you have to watch.

Downvotes are not answers. I'll repeat my question.

I see, so now you are ashamed to fly your MAGA colors in public and supporting an avowed socialist.
Like Trump sharing the stage with a radical left lunatic.
