1. There was never any secret.

If it was a secret, they wouldn't have been talking about it. It was just another Trump distraction, and we fell for it like we always do. He always has something coming up that never arrives.

To intercept the usual "Trump can't keep a secret" responses, he managed to keep everything they did to try to overturn the 2020 election a secret from the public without any trouble.

There does seem to be something wrong with Harris internal polls, unless they were just putting on a happy face hoping she'd somehow pull it out. I didn't get that impression, though. The one thing I noticed in the past week or two is that they hardly ever talked about them. As I recall, Biden's team in 2020 talked about them fairly regularly, though my memory might be faulty.
