Either the Trump campaign has deliberately turned incompetent the past two weeks with their lack of a clear line of attack on Kamala Harris, or they have the material to blow up Kamala Harris’s presidential aspirations, and they’re waiting until after the Democratic convention to unleash it. I think the latter.
The most likely thing to sink her will be revelations about her corruption in California (her unwillingness to prosecute her donors and her husband’s clients).
Mark Halperin says today: “The question of the vetting of the vice-president herself. A point I’ve made here repeatedly: People assume that if you’ve run for state-wide office and run, that if you’ve been a senator or a vice-president, then you’ve been vetted at a level sufficient that there are no more surprises coming. We saw over the weekend that’s not true. Is there more information about her coming out? There’s deep concern at high levels of the Democratic party that there will be and there could be enormous implications.”
“As President Trump points out, it wasn’t that long ago when not just the press, but President Biden privately, President Obama privately, believed that she was not up to the task of beating Donald Trump.”
“This [VP conflict and perhaps the Doug Emhoff impregnating the nanny story and getting her fired] has opened up negativity. This has resurfaced doubts about her – doubts about her judgment and her ability to make tough decisions and dealing under pressure. The story about her husband over the weekend. The reality is that she has never been vetted at the level she’s being vetted now.”
“What has [Kamala] done that is as bad as what Donald Trump has done? Donald Trump is [a survivor]… The question in the minds of some Democrats is how is she going to handle the pressure, the spotlight, the tension, the focus on her personal life if additional things are revealed. One of the concerns that Democrats have had about her in the Biden White House is her ability to handle things under pressure.”
“This Doug Emhoff story could end up being nothing in this race and it could end up being everything.”
On his zoom call right now, @MarkHalperin said @KamalaHarris “may have planted this story herself” to get ahead of it.
I unmuted myself to say that is a lie because I broke the story, and then Mark Halperin MUTED ME.
Mark why are you saying she planted the story when I very… https://t.co/bEkmmHTz0B pic.twitter.com/U2hISflUpx
