Former President Donald Trump’s advisers are boldly predicting a win in the upcoming election over Vice President Kamala Harris, just as they did over President Joe Biden. They cite support from Hispanic and black voters, historically Democratic support groups. The Trump team’s polling indicates that the campaign has been testing a Trump-Harris matchup for months, and they claim that the former president has consistently performed slightly better against the vice president.
Notably, they said Harris is not more popular among black and Hispanic voters than Biden, suggesting that her minority status does not significantly help her among the top minority voting blocs. Also, they told the Washington Examiner that Harris is not driving independents or younger voters to the Democrats, either.
To that end, Harris literally called young Americans “stupid” in a recent speech:

“President Trump will beat Kamala Harris and make inroads among African Americans, Hispanics and younger voters,” pollster John McLaughlin said. “The Trump campaign takes nothing for granted and continues to work like an underdog. Kamala Harris shares Joe Biden’s record of failure with even less likeability. In our June national poll among 1,000 likely voters Vice President Harris was losing 28% of African Americans, 41% of Hispanics, 44% of younger voters, and 51% of suburban voters. While Biden was losing to Trump in that poll by 2 points, Harris was losing by 5 points. We’ll take it.”
A longtime Democrat megadonor did not hold back his disappointment and anger at the party elite who appear to have pushed Biden out of his reelection bid and ‘anointed’ Harris as heir apparent. John Morgan, a key donor to President Biden, has declared that he will cease supporting Democratic fundraising if Harris is chosen as the presidential nominee.
“It’s one thing to vote for somebody; it’s another thing to raise millions of dollars for somebody; you have to really be in,” Morgan told ABC News. The founder of Morgan & Morgan, America’s largest personal injury law firm, accused Biden of taking his anger out on America when he supported his vice president. “Joe Biden’s endorsement of Kamala is his fuck you to all who pushed him out,” he wrote on X. “Be careful what you wish for.”
Morgan also questioned her electability, saying she is too liberal to win. “If Trump World could pick anybody to run against, I think they pick her,” he said. “If she’s a nominee, Mar a Lago has a real big party that night.” He went on to say that he lacked enthusiasm for a Harris candidacy. “You have to be enthusiastic or hoping for a political appointment to be asking friends for money,” he wrote on X. “I am neither.”
“It’s others turn now,” Morgan added, per the New York Sun. “The donors holding the 90 million can release those funds in the morning. It’s all yours. You can keep my million. And good luck.” Morgan also wrote, “Any combination of these people win,” tagging Sen. Joe Manchin, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and former First Lady Michelle Obama, whom he declared would win “in a landslide with any of these picks.”
