The 2024 election is shaping up to be a nail-biter as recent polls suggest a “tied race” between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. While it may sound close on the surface, a little digging reveals that Trump might just be sitting in the catbird seat, ready to pounce. Analysts Douglas Schoen and Carly Cooperman break down the numbers to show that the former president is in a stronger position now than at any time since Harris decided to throw her hat in the ring.
The Democrats have tried their best to paint Harris as a formidable contender, but it’s clear that her inconsistent performance and cringe-worthy gaffes have done more to hand Trump a gift than to bolster her campaign. Every time she opens her mouth, chances are she’s either twisting herself into a verbal pretzel or relying on platitudes that are less satisfying than a soggy biscuit. Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters are digging their heels in and showing no signs of wavering, even as the mainstream media continues their relentless efforts to downplay his chances.
The positive energy & polling around Trump winning is at an all time high. The Madison Square Garden rally was an incredible, positive event. Kamala sheep are losing it. The best they’ve got is “comedian tells bad joke”. They are DESPERATE! 🤣🤡 #MAGA pic.twitter.com/JYSZ2yGU18

For all the talk of a neck-and-neck race, there are indicators surfacing that the silent majority is not so silent anymore. Voters focused on issues like inflation, border security, and a questionable foreign policy are leaning in the direction of Trump, who has demonstrated that he’s willing to take on the establishment. Biden and Harris may have a nice little House of Cards built on promises and pandering, but with the economy crumbling and crime rates creeping up, the façade is beginning to crack.
Trump’s devoted base is closer than ever to mobilizing, ready to back the orange champion in what could be an epic return. They’ve got the energy, the enthusiasm, and a shared determination to send a message to Washington: “We’re not going to take this anymore.” If recent trends are any indicator, Harris may find herself wishing she had stayed home and practiced her choppy speeches instead of facing the wrath of voters fed up with the status quo.
As the election gears up, Trump supporters remain undaunted, while Harris appears to be losing ground. Dismissing the noise from biased polls has become a sport for many conservatives, who are more than willing to tune out the rather melodramatic narrative that paints Harris as a viable candidate. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the race may not be as tied as the media wants it to seem, and Trump could very well be on the verge of making a comeback that nobody saw coming.
