Harris’s campaign is experiencing complications roughly three weeks before Election Day. Schoen stated these reports are “a very bad sign” and that what he has heard from his Democratic friends and sources are confirming these reports.

“The so-called blue wall of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania is eroding for the Democrats,” Schoen said on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle. “There is a level of disorganization on the ground, and incoherence, vis-a-vis the messaging that is clear, and what I’m picking up is that the Harris campaign really doesn’t have a closing message or strategy as we, I think, saw in Bret Baier’s interview with Kamala Harris.”

Schoen also discussed another problem Harris has failed to address in her campaign, being that she has not provided “a coherent plan” to lead the nation in a different manner from President Joe Biden. Harris was asked in her interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier about polling data indicating that 79% of respondents believe the country is on the wrong track, prompting Harris to respond that “Donald Trump has been running for office.”

Regarding Harris’s interview on Fox News, which Baier conducted on his show Special Report with Bret Baier, Schoen suggested it did not help her at all, and may have possibly pushed some voters away. Schoen specifically cited Harris’s failure to provide concrete answers as well as her “confusion to perfectly logical questions” for issues some voters could have with her in this interview.

Not everyone has been critical of Harris’s performance, however, as marketing professional Donny Deutsch argued on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the vice president did “a great job” with the interview, adding that he was “quite repulsed” by Baier’s “attack mode” performance. Billionaire Mark Cuban has similarly praised Harris in a post on X, writing that she understood and responded to every question and that she is “everything her opponent is not and will never be.”

The beautiful thing about the @BretBaier interview is that @KamalaHarris understood and responded to each question.

She used examples of policies. She gave real world context.

When Brett went hard after her. She didn’t call him names. She didn’t quit the interview. She…

With less than three weeks to go before the election, Pennsylvania Democratic Party leaders have expressed frustration with the Harris campaign’s operations in the state, with one common complaint being an alleged lack of engagement with minority voters. It comes after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) warned about former President Donald Trump’s chances to win the state, stating “he has a special kind of place” in the state.

On Wednesday, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) claimed there could be panic among Democrats before Election Day, citing how one key change in swing states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia, being the removal of “universal absentee ballots,” could result in lower voter turnout compared to 2020. He also argued “the momentum” has shifted into Trump’s favor in the eleventh hour of this election cycle.
