Rory Stewart of the Cameron and May UK governments has boldly predicted that Kamala Harris will beat Donald Trump by a « comfortable margin. »
A British conservative pundit and political expert has cast doubts on former President Donald Trump’s chances of victory, saying this week he sees Vice President Kamala Harris winning the 2024 election.
« I remain confident that Kamala Harris is going to win and win by a comfortable margin », Rory Stewart, a former Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) and British Minister, said on an episode of his podcast, « The Rest is Politics. »
« And as I think I’ve said to you before, I believe this because I think what’s happened is the polling agencies are panicked, and it’s not surprising they’re all hovering around 50-50 », Stewart added.
« They’re hovering around 50-50 because they like to be in a pack and 50-50 is a pretty safe place to be », Stewart continued. « I think that the turnout assumptions on Trump don’t make sense. I can’t see young African-American voters who say they support Trump necessarily turning out to vote in the polls. »
Stewart has enjoyed a varied and textured career in politics, serving as a diplomat in the Middle East before winning a seat in David Cameron’s 2010 government and eventually holding several ministerial positions before abandoning the Boris Johnson government in 2019.
