Ex-Obama fundraiser says Harris is no Barack
A former fundraiser for ex-President Barrack Obama says that Vice President Kamala Harris is no Obama.
What is more, according to Fox News, is that Don Peebles, believes that Harris is going to lose in the 2024 presidential election to former President Donald Trump.
This all comes as both Barrack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have been campaigning for Harris. It also comes as the media has been trying to claim that Harris is the next coming of Obama.
According to Peebles, however, this is essentially a fraud that Democratic elites are trying to perpetrate on the American people.
She's no Obama
Peebles made his remarks during an appearance Saturday on the Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto Live. It was there that he argued that Harris is no Obama, despite what the left is trying to claim.
"Harris represents more of the status quo. She is not charismatic, she is not overly engaging, and she can’t stay on message," he said.
Peebles argued that Harris, if anything, is a "complete contrast" to Obama.
He continued, "He was very charismatic, super smart, and very disciplined. And he represented a dramatic change. Harris represents more of the status quo."
According to Fox, Peelbes went on to highlight the fact that "Harris has been part of the Biden administration for nearly four years, adding to the point that she's not the breath of fresh air Obama was when he burst onto the scene."
Trump's going to win
During the interview, the overall point that Peebles was trying to make is that, in his opinion, Trump is probably going to win the 2024 presidential election. Peebles, though, did hedge a bit.
"If this is a race about policy, he’s going to win hands down…. I see him winning. I look at all these numbers and I see him winning," he said.
Indeed, the numbers do seem to be in Trump's favor, but not by as much as one might think. This, though, assumes that the polls are accurate, which Trump and many others have disputed.
Currently, Real Clear Politics has Trump up on Harris, on average, by on 0.2 percentage points. But, importantly, the trend has been in Trump's favor, and he is favored in just about every battleground state. That being said, most of the polls are within the margin of error.
The polls, though, have been wrong before, and something to point out is that Trump is doing better in the polls now than he did against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and against Joe Biden in 2020 at this same point in the election.
