Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Bit of a gamble if that's to be the consistent theme of her ads.

'Freedom' is such a weak word. It's not punchy enough to make a difference.

Also, that ad in particular was African-American and female dominated in terms of imaging.

There's a chance this election gets polarised between a candidate appealing overwhelmingly to white blue-collar males and another appealing to black and Asian and female Americans. How that works out in terms of nailed on registered voters will be interesting. But demographic battle lines seem to be being drawn.

I think given Trump is running on Project 2025 that freedom is a good counter.

But its 1 ad, impossible to judge if thats gonna be her theme.

Never underestimate Dave's ability to extract gallons of judgement from a thimble of information

Actually thought it was a decent ad. Will need to at least address the more independent audience who wants some substance on issues like the border, but there’s nothing wrong with getting something out that’s intended to keep momentum.

Not sure if it's genuine. I really hope it is

Where has he said he'd be running on it?

It's not much of a bogeyman.

I question whether Harris and her team have the smarts to defeat Trump.

The election will be won in 7 swing states and I'd like to see if the needle has shifted at all in them since Harris looks to have the Democratic nomination now.

The buzz around her will fade and then we'll see where we are. She's a very weak candidate in a lot of people's estimation based on her track record.

You wanted Biden gone.

This is what we are left with.

Will she win? Who knows, the cult of Trump is pretty strong, racism is rife and Orangino talks their language.

All we can do is pray.

I think it's fair to say her value to the Democrats is that she's going to appeal to that demographic. The border issue will be a huge problem for her.

Similar to over here, the cost of living issue and immigration will dominate this election.

I wanted Biden gone and Newsom chosen.

Her value to Democrats is that she speaks complete coherent sentences.

Let's not overthink this

With respect to the bolded, why?

Given what Trump's done since Kamala became the presumptive nominee, I seriously question whether Trump and his team have the smarts to defeat Kamala. All he's done is alienate even more voters. Simply bizarre "strategy"

I'm going to say there's more than enough smarts in Harris' team to overcome even famed intellectual powerhouse Donald Trump

 

[LinekersLegs]

….ha, ha literally had a couple of quid @ 66-1 yesterday, now into 16-1 with the same bookmaker. That alone has made it worth it

 

[Wizard]

Someone needs to get Vance to watch this as a warning

 

[Prevenger17]

He seems like a great VP candidate
