ANDREW NEIL: The real reason black and Hispanic voters are abandoning Kamala for Trump - driven away by the Democrats' delusional obsession with race

The first flutter of panic is beginning to grip the Harris-Walz presidential campaign and Team Trump is starting to believe that maybe their man might win after all.

The momentum is back with Donald Trump and the Kamala Harris campaign is an increasingly unhappy, floundering ship with less than three weeks to go.

But the Democrats are being forced to confront something even more existential than the possibility of defeat on November 5: that perhaps, for them, demography is not their party's destiny after all.

It's long been a comforting axiom of Democratic thinking that the more non-white America becomes, the more the Democrats are destined to be the natural party of government. After all, the Dems are backed by a comfortable majority of Hispanic and Asian voters plus an overwhelming majority of Black voters.

The more these minorities coalesce into a new American majority the more Democrats can expect to win elections. For the party's progressive wing it promised the ultimate triumph of identity politics: make race the most important feature of what defines people and future Democratic victories are in the bag.

Except for one thing that Democratic strategists never saw coming: Americans of color are moving steadily to the right.

It is ironic that this has only dawned on Democrats in the midst of their first presidential election with a non-white and female candidate leading the ticket, which many in the party thought would seal its demographic destiny.

That they never saw it coming is illustrated by how they are flailing around trying to deal with it.

That Harris has a problem with black male voters has become apparent the longer the campaign has gone on. Barack Obama was wheeled out last week in Pittsburgh (second biggest conurbation in that most crucial of swing states, Pennsylvania)...
