CNN’s Dana Bash reported today that Democrats are having flashbacks to 2016 and that there is panic on the left that Kamala Harris is not moving the needle, in terms of building support.
Dana then brings on reporter Priscilla Alvarez who confirms the reporting, saying that people close to the Harris campaign are definitely concerned.
The campaign of ‘joy’ is morphing into one of anxiety, according to Alvarez.
FOX News has details:
Sources close to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign reportedly told CNN that Democrats were panicked because polls have largely remained stagnant with less than four weeks to go until the election.
“People are nervous. They know the polls are tight,” one source told CNN. “A lot of us are having these flashbacks to 2016, too. We know when it can go the wrong way, and it can still feel fresh.”
On the liberal network on Wednesday, CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez discussed her conversations with Democratic insiders close to the Harris campaign who are worried that the race remains deadlocked, despite the campaign’s efforts to reach more voters.
“This has been a campaign that was described by multiple Democrats, allies, aides to the vice president as a good vibes campaign. But what’s also creeping in now is that anxiety,” Alvarez explained. “The reason for that is because these polls are not really moving. Despite multiple battleground blitzes, despite the opportunities she has had across media outlets, there is still not a lot of movement from voters who are moving more towards her versus former President Donald Trump.”

If CNN is reporting this, you know things must look grim at the Harris campaign. Trump can’t take anything for granted but if Democrats are really this nervous, that’s a good sign.
