Opinion: The 4 reasons Harris is losing

I have spoken with three Democratic operatives behind the scenes who all believe the race is slipping away from Vice President Kamala Harris. They offer four major reasons why this is happening.

The first is Harris herself. She is simply not a very good candidate. She lacks confidence and is seemingly terrified to take any unrehearsed or unvetted policy questions. This liability is not a surprise to those who follow politics closely, but is a new concern for a number of voters.

This unsteadiness and insecurity were initially on display when she was the first candidate to embarrassingly flame out of the 2020 presidential primary. Now, in a deja vu moment of clarity, voters, major donors and Democratic power brokers are being reminded of those same failings in 2024.

The second reason Harris is slipping is the Biden-Harris administration’s record. It is weighing her down, dragging her down.

Harris made this problem significantly worse while doing an interview this week on ABC’s “The View.” Even though the purpose of this puff interview was to make her look good, Harris fumbled the hand-off. Harris-supporting host Sunny Hostin asked: “Would you have done anything differently than President Biden during the past four years?”

Harris immediately veered off the rails: “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris responded. “Not a thing.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
