The top Democrats have been flipping out since the debate, seeing their chances to win slipping away and finally being successful in pushing a very reluctant Joe Biden out of the 2024 race.
They were losing in the polls with Biden, which is why they did it. It wasn’t because they suddenly realized he was incoherent. It’s all about holding onto control. They’re all fearful of former President Donald Trump coming in, not because they really think he’s a “threat to democracy” but because they fear he might actually start holding people accountable.
So they threw Biden under the bus and now many have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place. Folks like Barack Obama are still silent on the matter, so it remains to be seen if it will be her. But at the moment, she would have to be called the front-runner for the nomination. No one else has so far stepped into the ring.
But so far, it’s incredibly ironic karma that after all that effort, it sounds like Kamala is doing “not really any better” than Biden in the polls, as even MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki admitted.
MSDNC: Kamala doesn’t fare any better against President Trump than Crooked Joe did — and Democrats’ hope to the contrary is “based more on hope than it is on numbers right now.”

Trump is still up, 47 to 46 percent, according to Kornacki.
He said the belief from Democrats that Kamala is going to fare better than Biden in the general election is based more on “hope” than on the numbers. Whoops. That isn’t going to make that MSDNC audience happy, prepare for tantrums and ripping their hair out.
The Real Clear Politics average has Trump up over Harris 48.1 to 46.2 percent.

As you can see, in the most recent poll recorded there, the Forbes/Harris X poll, that has Trump up by six points, that’s counting the “leans,” 53 to 47 percent with registered voters.

Even the Democrat internal polls earlier in the month aren’t good for Harris.

There was movement in the post-drop-out Morning Consult poll, moving a few points from where Biden was. But Kamala was still down two points to Trump. 47 to 45 percent.
Now, this is all very new and she’s not even the nominee yet, so we’ll have to see if there’s any further movement in the polls if she really becomes the nominee. But right now, it’s looking a bit like they booted Biden but Kamala still isn’t going to get them there.
