PHILADELPHIA — Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are worried Vice President Kamala Harris’ operation is being poorly run in the nation’s biggest battleground state.

They say some Harris aides lack relationships with key party figures, particularly in Philadelphia and its suburbs. They complain they have been left out of events and surrogates haven’t been deployed effectively. And they’ve urged Harris staff in private meetings to do more to turn out voters of color.

Some are even pointing fingers at Harris’ Pennsylvania campaign manager, Nikki Lu, who they say lacks deep knowledge of Philadelphia, where the vice president must drive up voter turnout in order to win.

...to do more to turn out voters of color.

Is Willie volunteering?

[Flaming Conservative]

Yeah, none of that will help when they have a lousy candidate and have messed up the country like they have.

kamala: “what are ya’ll complaining about: ya’ll knew i was an idjit when you anointed me ...”

[Sam Clements]

Everything we read about Harris points to incompetence. That is what we could expect from her as President.

The rats are fleeing the sinking ship. When people like Brian Stelter are complimentary of Trump and critical of Kamala, you know that they know how bad things are.

[Dan in Wichita]

Maybe Stelter is angling for a position in the upcoming Trump administration.

They are worried and want to prepare excuses

The campaign of a central planner doesn't listen to the locals? Say it ain't so!

It seems like Kamala’s being left to her own DEI devices. No one told her that she should absolutely attend The Al Smith Dinner. The decision was left up to some communist DEI campaign “manager’ who obviously has no idea what she is doing. Point is nobody intervened. They just let her crash and burn.
