Trump Takes Commanding Lead on Betting Sites
Can a change in the Harris campaign’s media strategy turn things around?
“2024 Election Forecast,” announced Polymarket today: “Live and accurate forecasts by the world’s largest prediction market.”
The news isn’t wonderful for Vice President Kamala Harris: Former President Donald Trump is now leading Harris 60.7% to 39.4%.
In Democratic Party circles, trepidation is running rampant, and the finger-pointing has already begun.
For her part, Harris has been hitting the media circuit hard since her polling numbers began to slide. During the heady, halcyon days immediately after VP Harris was thrust into the role as presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president, Harris avoided interviews.
“The Harris-Walz media strategy: Hide from the press,” Alex Thompson and Torey Van Oot reported for Axios on September 19, 2024.
“Harris has been a candidate for 59 days and Walz for 44 days because of President Biden’s sudden withdrawal as the Democratic nominee on July 21,” they revealed. “During those 59 days, Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance have participated in more than 70 interviews and press conferences with TV and print reporters while Harris and Walz have taken part in seven, according to an Axios analysis.”
