In the final hours of the election, Democratic insiders and strategists are expressing confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris will defeat former President Donald Trump at the ballot box on Tuesday.

“Disgustingly optimistic” is how Democrats described themselves to New York Magazine as the clock continues ticking into the final 100 hours of the election cycle.

Trump and Harris both gave their respective closing arguments earlier this week, with Trump addressing large crowds at a historic rally at Madison Square Garden and Harris giving her final pitch on Tuesday at the Ellipse, south of White Street, in the nation’s capital House and North the National Mall.

The polls are neck and neck. A Fox News national poll released last month found Trump with a two-point lead over Harris as the two focused on campaigning in key battleground states to raise the weight of their respective policies. As of Saturday morning, Trump has nine events planned through Election Day, zigzagging from battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and Michigan to Georgia and also Virginia.

Harris is scheduled to travel to Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday before making her final campaign appearance before voters in Michigan’s Rust Belt on Sunday. At the end of their final campaign since ascending to the Democratic leadership in July when President Biden dropped out of the race, their allies announced that victory was within reach.

“The question is, of the people who haven’t yet decided who to vote for, who will actually vote?” he said on CNN on Friday, noting that current polls show Harris and Trump tied. “And we feel in the last week that we’re doing pretty well with the people who have decided in the last week, and we like the people who haven’t made a decision yet…”

DEM STRATEGIST JAMES CARVILLE DETERMINES HARRIS WILL WIN, SLASHES ‘SWEATY’ ​​Democrats

“It’s very important to look at who these undecided people are,” Plouffe added.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, who worked as lead strategist for former President Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 election, announced that Harris’ financial support and the “united” Democratic Party are setting her up for a victory over Trump next Tuesday.

“I think she’s going to win,” Carville said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “She has more money, more energy, a more united party, better deputies and he is completely crazy.”

New York Magazine explained in an article this week that the mood among Democrats is that they are cautiously optimistic about a victory on Tuesday, “based largely on close monitoring of early voting data from the seven battleground states.” through the campaign and their evolving understanding of who won.” have already cast their vote and who still needs convincing?

“This stance is driven both by reports from the field, particularly from canvassers in struggling suburbs, and by senior consultants staring at the analysis in Wilmington. It is anything but a prediction of victory. Instead, it is the belief that Harris is pursuing achievable paths.” “They win a plurality or plurality of votes in the closely contested states – each of which they believe are effectively tied and in almost all of which they have a Democratic advantage in campaign operations see,” the outlet reported.

Other Democratic insiders are reporting more or less the same thing on social media and in media interviews.

DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE A HUGE DILEMMA IF KAMALA HARRIS LOSES

For example, Jon Favreau, speechwriter for former President Barack Obama, posted about a comedian at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, which was viewed negatively by the media and Democrats, and other political issues that he sees as election errors.

Daily Beast columnist and political analyst David Rothkopf declared in a column on Friday that “Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States,” citing Harris’ “extraordinary campaign” and his speeches that were “about something new “permeated” was “energy and vision” for the nation and her “‘closing statement’ on the Ellipse in Washington.”

“On January 20, 2025, she will become America’s first female president, America’s first woman of color to become commander in chief, and America’s first person of Asian descent to become the country’s head of government,” he wrote.

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Thursday that there are “clear” signs of a Harris victory.

“And the most important sign is that Harris is, simply put, more popular than Donald Trump,” he said.

The Trump campaign and its allies, meanwhile, are adamant that Republicans will be victorious on Tuesday as Trump mobilizes his base for early voting and is buoyed by his promise to “Make America Great Again” after the Biden-Harris government attracts new supporters. As the cycle entered its final weeks, Trump said during a rally in Las Vegas last month that Harris’ campaign was “imploding” and was eyeing a win.

“(Harris) actually implodes if you look closely. Because, look, I shouldn’t say it, but we’re so far ahead,” Trump said last Thursday.

“Now we have a big lead in Nevada. We have a big lead in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Even states that are normally out of the game for 50, 60, 70 years… But the fact is that states, including other states, large states, are all in the game and like us. But you know what? They consider them completely incompetent. “Let’s face it, she’s not doing well,” Trump continued.

“We’re competing against something much bigger than Joe or Kamala. And much more powerful than them, namely a huge, evil, corrupt, radical left-wing machine that runs today’s Democratic Party. They are just vessels. In fact, they are perfect vessels because they will never give them a hard time. I know that many of them are clever and evil people. “We have to defeat them,” he said.

“We will achieve the greatest victory in the history of our country on November 5th, and it will be the greatest victory in history. We will make America great again.”
