Kamala Harris’s chances of winning the presidency are vanishing faster than a Democrat’s commitment to fiscal responsibility. Following the antics of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which seemed more intent on creating a circus than a serious political platform, betting odds have shifted dramatically. Gamblers, apparently no fans of chaos disguised as unity, have turned their backs on the current vice president faster than one can say “triggered.”
Before the DNC began, Harris was sitting pretty at a 54 percent chance of winning, while Donald Trump lagged behind at 44 percent. However, as the DNC dragged on, and the spectacle of Harris and her fellow Democrats unfolded, gamblers saw the writing on the wall. By the convention’s third night, Trump had flipped the script, sporting a 53 percent chance while Harris dropped to 46. It seems that for every chant of “unity,” the Democrats lost another percentage point.
The DNC, which should have bolstered Harris’s chances, instead became a recipe for disaster. The constant barrage of self-congratulation and hollow platitudes about solving major issues, particularly at the border, rang particularly hollow coming from a figure who has had years to act while sitting in the White House. The convention revealed not just a lack of viable solutions but also the internal strife within the party itself, as evidenced by a reported 30 delegates who were left uncommitted to Harris as a protest over the Palestinian issue. Apparently, even the Democrats couldn’t rally behind their own candidate — how’s that for unity?
The Democrats find themselves in a precarious position, having held significant power for over a decade yet failing to provide any meaningful progress or accountability. Instead of addressing the nation’s woes head-on, they’ve conveniently shifted all blame onto Trump, who “only” had four years in office. This glaring contradiction didn’t go unnoticed, even by CNN’s Scott Jennings, who managed to silence the panel with this inconvenient truth. It appears that while Democrats are busy crafting narratives, the American people are left holding the bag, wondering why their bills keep climbing and their grocery runs are getting pricier.

The DNC showed the American electorate that they are anything but a serious party with serious candidates. For Harris, whose performance only reinforced doubts about her qualifications, it seems the message is clear: the bets are on Trump. As the public continues to feel the repercussions of the Democrats’ policies, their apparent lack of self-awareness can only lead to one conclusion — they are in for a rough ride come election time. Time will tell if Harris can turn this ship around, but with her recent performance, it might be too late to get the crew on her side.
