The Donald Trump campaign is dismissing the Vice President Kamala Harris’ « honeymoon » in the polls as nothing more than « irrational exuberance » from the Democrats.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is dismissing Vice President Kamala Harris’ “honeymoon” in the polls — saying it is confident a divorce may soon be on the horizon.
Harris received a polling bump after President Biden dropped out and endorsed her as his replacement, virtually erasing Trump’s lead in some states. She’s also had large turnouts at rallies and seen a boost in fundraising.
But the Trump team sees all of this as “irrational exuberance” by the Democrats, and says voters will eventually come down from the Harris sugar high, campaign officials told reporters Thursday.
And they’re not alone: Democratic strategist David Axelrod first coined the term about Harris this week and argued that despite the boost she’s gotten, the race is still tight.
The real top factor, per the Trump campaign, will come down to who voters believe will solve the economy and the border — issues on which the former president has been consistently been polling better.
The Trump campaign is banking on Harris’ momentum slowing and views the numbers soberly. The officials said they are looking forward to November as they are not worried about the polling blip.
“The one thing Kamala Harris has been able to do, is she’s been able to restore vote motivation for Democrats, at least temporarily,” one Trump official said.
