Democrats are getting increasingly nervous about the Presidential election.
They thought that their last minute flip-flop from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris would allow them to easily cruise to a victory in the final couple of months of the campaign.
And Bill Maher made one confession about Barack Obama that struck fear in Democrats.
Obama sounds the alarm on Kamala’s woes with black voters
Democrats thought Vice President Kamala Harris was on a glide path to victory in the Presidential race.
The warning signs that her campaign is in deep trouble continue to increase.
For example, former President Barack Obama was recently deployed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to help Kamala stop the bleeding when it comes to the number of black men who are refusing to support her campaign as they learn more about her record and plans for the future – or lack thereof.
Obama told a group of black men at a Kamala campaign office in Pittsburgh that their failure to support the Democrat Presidential candidate to the degree the Party prefers was somehow “sexist” and ordered them to hold their noses and vote for her.
“My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that 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 said.
Obama added that the lack of enthusiasm for Kamala was most pronounced with black men.
“And you are thinking about sitting out?” Obama claimed. “Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives, and other reasons for that.”
Maher gives Democrats tough news about Kamala
Comedian Bill Maher was one of the Democrats who thought that a Kamala victory was inevitable.
He said after the Presidential debate in September that former President Donald Trump was finished.
“I think I have the credibility for this prediction because I have been called a Trump alarmist for a very long time,” Maher said at the time. “Tonight, I’m saying, I think it’s over. I just think he’s going to lose.”
Fast forward a month and he’s singing a different tune about the election.
Maher admitted that Kamala was in big trouble on his HBO show Real Time.
“It could be anything, 25 days before the election, and I got to say, it’s not looking that great for the Democrats,” Maher said. “I mean, this is not a good sign, you know, when you have an African-American candidate. You probably shouldn’t be having to shore up your support among black men, but that’s what’s going on.”
He mocked the Kamala campaign for using Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for black outreach.
“Tim Walz is headlining a voter engagement event tonight with black men,” Maher continued. “Who better to connect with young black men than Tim Walz? Because, apparently, Michael Bublé was unavailable. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s like, hello.”
Maher noted the change in tenor from Obama since the Democrat National Convention in August.
“But, no, Obama even came out yesterday to scold him, and he was, he was scolding,” Maher stated. “Well, I don’t know, the last month of the convention, he was no scolding. Now he’s scolding.”
“He was saying, you’ve got to vote for Harris,” he added. “But, of course, for some young, especially the younger black men, it’s a tough choice. Harris is African-American, but Trump has a sneaker line.”
Kamala Harris is in rough shape when she has to shore up the most reliable demographic in the Democrat coalition, black voters, in the final month of the race.
