The team at Split Ticket said that Trump made errors and costly mistakes in the White House race after Harris became his opponent.
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign suffered a series of misfires and self-inflicted errors which may cost the Republican the election, according to forecasters.
The team at Split Ticket said Trump has seemingly been “intent on squandering” the advantages he had in the race when President Joe Biden was still the presumptive 2024 Democratic candidate, and that may result in a victory for Kamala Harris.
They highlighted a series of “undisciplined” comments made by Trump and his allies during the campaign, and accused the GOP of focusing too much on attacking transgender health care when voters do not consider this a pivotal election issue.
Newsweek has contacted the campaign teams for Trump and Harris for comment via email.
The comments from Split Ticket also featured their final forecast of the 2024 election, which gave Harris a 53 percent chance of victory.
The team cited a number of reasons why Trump was seen as the clear favorite while Biden was seeking reelection and then pointed as the potentially costly mistakes the former president has made since Harris has taken over the Democratic ticket.
These errors included Trump suggesting Harris, who is of both Indian and Jamaican heritage, “happened to turn Black” in recent years for political gain in late July. The former president also received backlash after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” in a joke during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27.
