The left-wing media spent the past two months showering Kamala Harris with praise and portraying her as the Democrat Party’s next Barack Obama.
But it’s not working.
And Barack Obama just burst Kamala Harris’ bubble by pointing out this major problem facing her campaign.
You don’t have to agree with former President Barack Obama’s socialist policies to recognize that he was one of the most effective political operators in modern American history – if nothing else, the guy knew how to campaign.
Obama had the enthusiasm and energy of a rock star driving his landslide victory over Senator Mitt Romney (RINO-UT).
Democrats and their allies in the media were hoping to turn Vice President Kamala Harris into their next Barack Obama.
Kamala avoided interviews and only delivered speeches she read from a teleprompter for more than a month while the media tried to sell her as Barack Obama 2.0.
Their scheme worked for a little while, but it ended the moment Kamala had to appear before the American people and speak without the help of a teleprompter.
Kamala has a reputation of being a terrible campaigner.
During the 2020 Democrat Primary, she catapulted to the top after she destroyed President Joe Biden in a debate.
But she quickly crashed and burned once Americans heard her say more than a few scripted lines.
And Kamala Harris is starting to crash and burn now that Americans are getting a better look at her campaign and her agenda.
For decades, Democrats have been able to count on winning the overwhelming majority of black votes each election.
But times have changed, and Democrats are panicking over Kamala’s lack of support among black voters.
According to a Pew Research poll taken at the end of September, only 84% of black voters said they would vote for Kamala, while 13% said they would vote for Donald Trump.
This is a major problem for Kamala.
As Brietbart reported, “Harris’s support among the demographic is down eight points from President Joe Biden’s support in 2020, when he won 92 percent of their vote.”
Another poll conducted by the Washington Post and Ipsos indicated that only 80% of black voters support Kamala, and an NAACP poll showed only a quarter of blacks under the age of 50 support her.
Barack Obama just hit the campaign trail in an effort to rescue Kamala from herself.
On Thursday, Obama campaigned for Kamala in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
Obama first met with a group of Kamala’s supporters in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty.
And he was not shy about expressing his concern for the lack of enthusiasm in the black community for Kamala.
“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities, as we saw when I was running,” Obama told the group of Kamala supporters.
He particularly pointed out the lagging support among black males for Kamala.
“Now, I also want to say that it seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,” Obama said. “So if you don’t mind, just for a second, I’m going to speak to y’all, and say that when you have a choice that is this clear, when on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences.”
“She’s had to work harder and do more and overcome and achieves the second highest office in the land,” Obama claimed.

He also took issue with Trump for telling inner-city blacks that Kamala’s open border policies were hurting their community the most.
“Now if you challenge Trump to elaborate and enumerate his concepts, he will fall back on one answer,” Obama said. “Vance does the same thing.”
“It doesn’t matter what the issue is, housing, healthcare, education, paying bills, their only answer is to blame immigrants,” Obama added. “They want you to believe that if you let Donald Trump round up whoever he wants, by the way, and ship them out, all your problems will be solved.”

Democrats have a big problem with the election just around the corner.
They are losing their most loyal voting bloc to the Republican Party.
The Republican share of the black vote has been on the rise since 2018.
It jumped from 9% to 13% from 2018 to 2022.
Donald Trump won a higher percentage of the non-white vote than any Republican since 1960.
Now, with polls indicating that he could be on track to increase his support amongst black voters next month, Democrats are panicking.
