Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign leadership tells the Washington Post’s Matt Viser that their internal data show them winning by double digits among swing state voters who made up their minds with in the last week, with real measurable, observable, and thus very serious damage being done to convicted felon former President Trump’s standing by the Madison Square Garden rally. “It really broke through. It’s helped gel their feeling about this race,” a “senior official” on the team told Viser, who writes “Harris campaign clearly views Madison Square Garden rally as a turning point among late-breaking undecided voters, in ways that’s giving them confidence in the final days.”

Huh. That’s a pretty interesting political news update, right?

Just trying to stay understated about all this given the stakes involved and the wages of hubris and all that. Thing is that, even all the homerism and motivated reasoning aside, there’s an important contrast here: The Trump team has been saying shit like this every single day for the past almost two years now and then really nine years about how the data and polling etc points toward nothing less than complete and total victory over the enemy (or that MSM pollsters are full of shit).

Meanwhile from the Harris team over the last three months we’ve had like how many anonymous quotations projecting real confidence and assuredness? All this “context” lately and here’s one that matters. Can’t recall EVER hearing the Harris team talk like this. Yeah David Plouffe was pretty cool and cheery on a podcast a few weeks ago but he wasn’t using words like “double-digits.”

Anyhoo, Ben Shapiro’s podcast says Dems are in desperation mode during these final days.
