New Signs Point to Harris Loss Against Trump

Recent developments indicate that Vice President Kamala Harris might be on the verge of losing her race to former President Donald Trump, as several Democratic U.S. Senate candidates in crucial swing states are starting to distance themselves from the Harris campaign. Some are even pivoting toward praising Trump in an effort to bolster their own chances of electoral success.

An analysis of major television ads from the campaigns of Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) reveals a shift. These ads are presenting Trump in a more favorable or neutral manner, signaling a readiness to collaborate with him if he prevails in the November election.

This change is especially striking for Slotkin and Baldwin, both of whom were previously vocal critics of Trump and strong supporters of his various legal challenges. They are now backing away from their progressive positions on electric vehicle mandates, global trade, and outsourcing, as polls in their states show increasing support for Trump.

One of Casey’s latest ads highlights the headline, “Casey Supports Trump’s Trade Order,” showing the vulnerability of the three-term Pennsylvania senator. Polls are indicating a tight race between Trump and Harris, who has now publicly reversed her earlier stance on ending the Senate filibuster to pass the Green New Deal.

On the campaign trail, Harris has walked back several of her longstanding positions, now expressing support for domestic energy production and fracking, two issues that resonate deeply with voters in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the state’s other senator, John Fetterman (D-PA), has raised alarms within the Democratic Party by predicting that Trump will win this key battleground state.

In Michigan, Slotkin is locked in a tough battle with former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers. After years of championing electric vehicle (EV) mandates to attract progressive voters, Slotkin’s current ads now claim she opposes “electric car mandates,” likely reflecting concerns among unionized auto workers worried about job losses from automation as the auto industry shifts.

Trump, while not entirely against electric vehicles, has emphasized that Americans should have the freedom to choose between EVs and traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. He has also warned that China could dominate the EV market, all while courting American auto workers.

Meanwhile, Baldwin, who is running for her third term in the Senate, is campaigning on a platform of working across the aisle with Trump, should he win. Her recent ad features white, male manufacturing workers and business owners voicing concerns about how foreign competitors like China are “undercutting their prices,” negatively affecting American industries—a theme familiar to Trump’s rhetoric during his visits to Michigan.

“We can’t let China steal American jobs,” Baldwin says in the ad, followed by a man stating that she “got President Trump to sign her made-in-America bill.”

Trump’s campaign recently released a new ad featuring Vice President Kamala Harris on The View, where she claimed she wouldn’t do “anything different” from President Joe Biden if she were to win.

The 30-second ad spotlights Harris responding to co-host Sunny Hostin’s question, saying, “there is not a thing that comes to mind” when asked what she would have done differently over the past 3.5 years.

“A flood of illegals, skyrocketing prices, global chaos, and Kamala wouldn’t change a thing,” the ad’s narrator says. Following a clip from Harris’s heavily criticized appearance on the daytime talk show, the narrator adds, “Nothing will change with Kamala.”

“More weakness, more war, more welfare for illegals, and even more taxes,” the ad continues. “Only President Trump cut middle-class taxes, and only President Trump will do it again.”
