David Plouffe discussed the closeness of the 2024 presidential race on the latest episode of “Pod Save America.”
Vice President Kamala Harris’ polling lead is “not real”, according to a former Obama aide who now works as a senior adviser to the Harris-Walz campaign.
David Plouffe, who was a campaign manager for former President Barack Obama, appeared on the latest episode of Pod Save America alongside host Dan Pfeiffer, who served as an adviser to Obama. On the podcast, the two discussed polling and where the presidential race stands.
“There were a bunch of polls, I’d say, in the last month that showed a lead for Kamala Harris that was not real. It’s not what we were seeing. We’ve seen this thing basically be tied, let’s say, since mid-September”, Plouffe said.
The 2024 U.S. presidential election is three weeks away, and it is one of the closest races in recent history.
At the beginning of the election cycle, polls showed former President Donald Trump with a consistent lead over President Joe Biden. However, the landscape shifted when Biden withdrew from the race. Harris’ emergence as the Democratic nominee has altered the dynamics, and recent polls indicate a race that is too close to call.
