It’s Already Getting Ugly Within the Kamala Harris Campaign: Report

The article discusses the aftermath of Vice President Kamala Harris’s poor performance in the recent presidential election, leading to a “blame game” among Democrats. Following ‌former President Donald Trump’s victory, internal criticism has surfaced‌ regarding Harris’s choice of running mate, Minnesota Governor⁢ Tim Walz. Some Democratic insiders believe that Pennsylvania Governor Josh ⁢Shapiro would have been a better choice, as his‍ moderate stance could have appealed to key swing states within the ⁢Democratic “blue wall” – Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Critics suggest that Harris failed to effectively communicate her policies and vision, especially in the final weeks of her campaign. It is noted ⁢that Harris‍ focused heavily on attacking Trump instead of outlining her ‌own plans, which likely hindered her appeal to undecided voters. Furthermore, there ⁣are‍ claims that the campaign suffered⁤ from poor management and confusing messaging, which raised doubts about Harris’s leadership and electoral strategy. Ultimately, a perceived lack of clarity in Harris’s stance compared to the Biden administration contributed to her⁤ downfall in the race.

The blame game is under way after Vice President Kamala Harris took a humiliating shellacking in Tuesday’s presidential election.

Hours after former President Donald Trump capped his years-long campaign to return to the White House by making the electoral college map a study in red, fierce finger-pointing was taking place among Democrats, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich posted on X.

“The blame game has begun inside Harris world,” she wrote, sharing the perspective of Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s National Finance Committee and Pennsylvania commissioner.

The post-mortem began with the selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Harris’s running mate, Heinrich wrote.

Walz ran into headwinds amid allegations of fabricating his National Guard record.

The blame game has begun inside Harris world.

Harris-Walz surrogate @lindyli, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee and PA commissioner tells me:

– Tim Walz was a bad choice of running mate, Shapiro would have carried the blue wall states.
Li: “People are wondering…

“Tim Walz was a bad choice of running mate, Shapiro would have carried the blue wall,” Heinrich wrote, referring to the states of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that have often carried Democrats to victory.

“People are wondering tonight what would have happened had Shapiro been on the ticket,” Li said, speaking about Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro who was not selected by Harris.

“And not only in terms of Pennsylvania. He’s a famously a moderate. So that would have signaled to the American people that she is not the San Francisco liberal that Trump said she was, but she went with someone actually to her left Minnesota. … In the eyes of the American people, Walz was the governor who oversaw the protests,” Li said.

Heinrich wrote that “Harris’ positions were not clearly staked out.”

Heinrich quoted Li as saying that Harris “knows [what] a mistake [it] was to say on ‘The View’ that she couldn’t think of a single thing that she would do differently from the Biden administration”

The Harris fixation on branding Trump as a fascist failed, Heinrich wrote.

“Too many cooks in the kitchen led to muddled campaign messaging, poor staffing decisions in key battlegrounds,” Heinrich wrote.

Li told Heinrich that the campaign made changes in Pennsylvania “in the final weeks of the campaign, but I fear it was too late.”

Kamala Harris lost this election when she pivoted to focus almost exclusively on attacking Donald Trump.

Voters already know everything there is about Trump – but they still wanted to know more about Harris’ plans for the first hour, first day, first month and first year of her… https://t.co/uCCl4WCykh

Writing on CNN, Edward-Isaac Dovere said Harris’ refusal to paint herself as an agent of change cost her.

“A country crying out for change got a candidate who, at a crucial moment as more voters were tuning in, decided to soft-pedal the change she knew she represented,” he wrote.
