Jesse Watters Reveals Big Update In 2024 Race

Fox News host Jesse Watters provided a significant update in the 2024 presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Kamala is not Joe Biden, and yes, she’s a woman, and there’s excitement around that. You should see my mom—suddenly she’s a Kamala fanatic, always talking about joy,” Watters began during his show, Jesse Watters Primetime.

He continued, “Trump kept one woman out of the White House, and he can do it again. This country is thirsty for leadership after four years of confusion, and ‘Hideaway Harris’ isn’t going to cut it. There’s only so much bamboozling voters can tolerate. You could feel the excitement in the press today—they're thrilled they can finally justify their paychecks. Kamala Harris hasn’t held a press conference since 2023, and that wasn’t even in America. It was in Dubai. Trump’s team is back, and this is what democracy looks like.”

Watters went on to emphasize, “Freedom of the press, freedom of speech, real-time exchanges of ideas without censorship—that’s what voters want. They want to hear from someone who is unscripted, speaking directly to them without cheat sheets or teleprompters. The media misses Trump. The press-politician relationship is meant to be tense and challenging. With Biden and Kamala, it’s stagnant and corrupt. Everyone sees it, and they’re even resorting to their old tactics.”

While many media outlets praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her debate performance earlier in the week, the race to win undecided voters seems far from over.

Several American viewers who watched the debate spoke with Reuters, stating they were not yet convinced that Harris was the superior candidate. Out of ten undecided voters invited by the publication to watch the 90-minute debate, six said they would most likely vote for Trump, three favored Harris, and one remained undecided—an unexpected reversal.

Some voters said Harris needs to be more serious about explaining how she would fund her policy initiatives. Five participants found her responses to questions about the high costs of housing and daily necessities to be “vague.”

“I still don’t know what she stands for,” said Mark Kadish, 61, a Florida entrepreneur. “There were no clear details in her plans.” Similarly, Robert Wheeler, 48, a Nevada security executive who had been leaning toward Harris, said her performance left him more committed to voting for Trump. “I felt like the debate was just Harris telling me why I shouldn’t vote for Trump, instead of showing why she’s the right choice,” Wheeler explained.

The focus group, made up of four women and six men (eight White and two Black participants), represented different segments of the undecided voter population in key battleground states.

Additional concerns emerged the day after the debate, as more undecided voters voiced disappointment with Harris, despite mainstream media claims that she had won the debate. The 90-minute event, hosted by ABC News, largely saw the two candidates exchanging jabs. Trump fired back after Harris critiqued his policies and leadership skills.

Harris avoided direct answers to many questions, only briefly mentioning tax breaks for small businesses and working families. Her cautious approach may backfire, as her campaign was recently caught copying entire policy sections from President Joe Biden’s website. Notably, her campaign’s site no longer lists her prior stances on issues like funding gender transition surgeries for prisoners and decriminalizing hard drugs.

Trump looks to have made impressive gains over Vice President Kamala Harris, gaining roughly 14 points among independents and 19 points among Latino voters.

According to new polling from NPR/PBS News/Marist, Trump, 78, surpassed Harris, 59, by three points among independents in a multi-candidate race, 49% to 46%.

This represents a considerable increase since August, when Trump trailed Harris, 59, by 11 points, 48% to 37%.
