Betting Markets Dump Kamala Harris After CNN Interview
Breitbart ^ | 08/30/2024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 08/30/2024 6:53:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The cold, hard world of betting markets framing the outcome of the 2024 presidential election were singularly unimpressed by the showing of Kamala Harris during her CNN interview on Thursday evening.

Newsweek sought the views of two leading bookmakers and this was the outcome of the pre-taped Harris-Walz chat with Dana Bash:

The vice president went from being the favorite to win with odds of 10/11 (52.4 percent) on Thursday to tied with Donald Trump on 19/20 (51.3 percent) each on Friday morning, according to the Star Sports betting company.

Over the same period, Trump’s odds of victory in November improved from 21/20 (48.8 percent) before the interview to 20/21 (51.2 percent), according to U.K. based bookmaker Betfair.

Thursday’s interview with CNN’s Dana Bash was the first time Harris faced unscripted questions since she was anointed at the Democratic Party nominee and President Joe Biden pushed to the sidelines.

Did she cackle during the interview? I’m serious - just wondering if she can control it if she chooses....

“unscripted”

Bwhahahahahhaaaa. (Gotta catch my breath.) Bwhahahahhahahahahhahahaaa!

I don’t think that word means what the media thinks it means. Or maybe they do know what it means, just figure the leftidiot voters they pander to will buy this line.

Did CNN give her the questions before the interview like they did with Hillary?

She and Walz both bombed EVEN WITH the scripted questions and favorable editing the 1 hour interview chopped down to 18 minutes.

She did a semi cackle at one point when Dana Bash gave her a softball leading question or when she complimented her on a supposed viral photo of the back of her niece’s head looking onto a big screen of Kamala that looked eerily like something from the book and movie 1984, where Kamala is Big Brother and the faceless girl is forced to watch the propaganda.

Kamala was never ready for Prime Time. She got the nod presumably because she backed Schumer's and Pelosi's plan to invoke the 25th Amendment if Joe didn't step aside.

Chuck and Nancy had to have her because the VP is a necessary component of the 25th. Ergo, they had to agree with Kamala's demand about being the nominee.

Too bad.

Chuck and Nancy--and Kamala--are now in a bind.

The funniest part of the interview with Kamala who is touchy about how her name is pronounced, was her mispronunciation of Dan-uh as Dane-uh.

the first time Harris faced unscripted questions

I beg to differ. Those questions were written in advance and were debate prep for both Harris and Walz.

"...was the first time Harris faced unscripted questions since she was anointed at the Democratic Party nominee and President Joe Biden pushed to the sidelines in a Soviet-Style Political Coup."

FIXED!

For those who don’t know, Trump was 200-1 shot in 2016.
I nearly dropped 10k in Vegas on it.

That’s true. She did mispronounce Dana’s name. Is Mika outraged?
