Democrat strategist James Carville and radio host Charlamagne tha God, two prominent supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, are expressing concerns over her campaign’s lack of a message for the American people.
With less than a month until polls open, they’re getting a little antsy.
Charlamagne, who previously praised Harris as a candidate with “'super main character energy,” now feels all of the energy has shifted to the Trump campaign when it comes to relating to the people.
“You'll listen to a lot of reporters and they'll be talking to Trump or JD Vance and they'll be talking to them about things that are happening right here in America, because it is an election season right here in America."
“America first,” the Breakfast Club radio show co-host believes, is a winning message.
"So it’s always America first. But then you go to Tim Walz and they’re asking him about geopolitical politics, and I think a lot of times that makes them sound, you know, very out of touch. That makes them sound very out of touch to what’s going on right here in America," he continued.
Carville, meanwhile, appears to be in full-blown panic mode about the election and the lack of messaging coming out of the Harris camp.
Carville, at one point former President Bill Clinton’s closest advisor, told MSNBC host Ali Melber that he was “scared to death” of the coming election.
Part of that fear is a lack of a tangible message and not a whole lot of time to produce one.
Citing time restraints due to disaster recovery needs and other factors, Carville suggests the Democrat nominee “probably (has) under 20 days” to “really get a message out.”
That implies she hasn’t produced a message at all as of yet.
“They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions,” he insisted.
It’s ironic to hear him suggest Harris needs to start talking more when Carville previously suggested the biggest problem in the Democrat party is “too many preachy females.”
By contrast, Charlamagne believes the messaging coming from the Trump-Vance campaign is striking a chord with the American people.
“When you hear, you know, the Vances and Trumps talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more,” he said. “Not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more."
These complaints from supporters of Harris come as she struggles to convince the American people that she has a plan to competently serve as president.
She’s done herself no favors in changing the narrative in recent days.
During the Hurricane Milton disaster, Harris produced cringeworthy staged phone calls with local officials, held Zoom meetings where she got caught needing help from her handlers, and faked sharing a beer with Stephen Colbert while a vast swath of Florida was evacuating.
Maybe that’s the message people are taking away right now. That Harris is completely out of touch, has no coherent plan to lead, and is so cringe that she makes Hillary Clinton look relatable.
A new Gallup poll reveals that a strong majority of voters believe Trump (60-48%) is a stronger and more decisive leader.
No wonder Harris’s surrogates are scared to death.
I’m beginning to think somethings up. Why all of a sudden the scare to death panic? Never ever trust the rats and what comes out of their mouth. They’re up to something and I think it is to keep Trump from campaigning and his base complacent.
The beer can stunt should’ve sunk her campaign on the spot but because she is a demonRAT she gets a pass . If this would’ve been a republican candidate during a horrific hurricane that was coming inland and a horrific hurricane that had already devastated part of a state they would’ve murdered that candidate on the spot. They think the American people are stupid, and blind …we see everything and thank God for social media! Unfortunately 50% of the nation will go out in droves to vote for this POS communist hyena!
Unless, Latinos dislike the left, if so, then checkmate for us.
I’d be really confident. about a Trump win except for all the illegals given citizenship papers and directions how to vote.
I foresee a Supreme Court battle and fighting in the streets.
Actually, the message you related is the problem.
The problem for them is that they HAVE gotten a message out. Just not the one they want.
Who are these “Harris supporters” the article talks about?
So far in this campaign, I have seen mainly Trump supporters and Trump haters. The latter can’t give a compelling reason to vote for Harris, just reasons why they won’t vote for Trump.
I believe they even have “Two Minutes Hate” sessions directed at Trump, like George Orwell predicted in “1984.”
Yeah, two minutes thirty times an hour on various broadcast and online media, plus various public school shills.
Their message is…same old shtick that we have today with Biden the incompetent.
Orange man bad, vote for the token puppet we the elites put before you….
Suckers!
