Former Harris aides admit campaign's internal polling never showed her leading Trump

Millions of Americans, even on the Democrat side of the aisle, likely had a gut feeling that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't have much of a shot against now-President-elect Donald Trump.

But according to the Washington Examiner, bombshell revelations from her former staffers and aides confirm that many in her own camp were fully aware that she was not going to win on Election Day.

Some of her aides who recently did interviews on the Pod Save America admitted that among other indicators, internal polling never really showed Harris beating Trump.

They also admitted that their internal polling wasn't matching up with some national polls that gave Harris an edge, leading many to wonder why the campaign wasted $1 billion on a campaign that was doomed from the get-go.

Many nationally accredited polls, especially those conducted soon after she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic Party ticket, gave Harris the advantage over Trump, but her aides say that the trend, at least internally, did not continue.

David Plouffe, a senior adviser on the Harris campaign, said that their internal polls never matched the public polls.

"We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day," he said during the interview.

He added, "I think it surprised people because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw."

Plouffe also admitted that the polling number for Harris never really changed, staying "static" shortly after she entered the race for the White House in July.

The Harris campaign and its many allies in the establishment media worked overtime to portray the race as a toss-up, or a "margin-of-error race." But it wasn't.

The Examiner noted:

The internal panic from the Harris campaign was unknown publicly, helping contribute to a widespread perception that the race was a toss-up. The results were the best for Republicans since 2004, with Trump winning the popular vote and sweeping every swing state.

In other words, millions of Democrat voters, who ultimately didn't get to choose their candidate, were fleeced by both Harris and by liberal-friendly media outlets the entire time.

Social media users destroyed the campaign officials in response to the interview, with many presumably Democrat voters expressing anger over the situation.

"The long and the short of it is that none of these people should ever run a national campaign ever again. The Obama era is over," one commenter wrote. Yep.
