Team Trump Is Begging Him to Take the Threat of Kamala Seriously

Team Trump Is Begging Him to Take the Threat of Kamala Seriously
A new report reveals that Trumps allies are getting nervous about Kamala Harris.
Donald Trumps Republican allies are worried that he might be underestimating Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a report from Rolling Stone, several Republicans, including two right-wing lawmakers, have reached out to the convicted felon and former president to warn him about internal GOP polls that show Harris could make key states that Trump needs a lot more difficult to win. They also told him that assurances from his team that Harris was a weak opponent were wrong and that racist and sexist attacks from the right wing could easily backfire.
The report cites three sources, one of whom told the magazine that when Joe Biden was in the race, we were headed for a Trump landslide. ... Now that its Kamalas turn, there are some scenarios that make me nervous, said the source, who has discussed the issue with Trump.
Before Biden withdrew from the 2024 election and endorsed Harris, Trump was ahead in national and battleground state polls, particularly after Bidens poor debate performance. Since Bidens announcement Sunday, though, Trump has raged on Truth Social and Harris has skyrocketed in popularity, raising record amounts of money. Trumps supporters are openly panicking, making weak attempts at impeaching Harris in the House and resorting to racist attacks.

He doesnt take her seriously and under estimates her. Hopefully it leads to his downfall

(41,358 posts)3. For Trump to take Harris seriously would take an epiphany.
That will not happen. He is not capable of such a change.
