NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday slammed supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris for muting their criticism of her to increase the possibility of a showdown with former President Donald Trump in November. He accused her of trying to do something.
Since Harris began her presidential campaign on July 21, after President Joe Biden resigned and endorsed her, her approval rating has increased by more than 7 percentage points to 45.7%. According to Compared to FiveThirtyEight's voting average. Mr. Cuomo, “chris cuomo project” argues that it is misleading to portray Harris as a good candidate, given her shortcomings and past unpopularity, and argues that it is misleading to portray Harris as a good candidate, given her shortcomings and past unpopularity, and that she should be freed from criticism simply because she is running against Trump. He said he could not agree to protect it. (Related article: Kamala Harris once thought a border wall was 'un-American' but now supports it.)

“Kamala Harris isn't a godsend, is she? You guys didn't even like her six months ago. Now, all of a sudden, she's black woman Jesus. [former President Barack] Obama was the black Jesus. And let me tell you this: He did a lot more than Kamala Harris did,” Cuomo said. “And not just the first thing, but his type of campaigning, his type of persuasion, his charisma. He imbued her with things that she didn't have, and I'm not criticizing that. It's just a point of comparison.”
“And her process messed her up too. There's a convenience to it, but she has a lot of insecurities, so it messed her up. There's an underlying sense that she couldn't get this right. There are emotions,” he added. “She may not have won the primary, and when she ran, she didn't even make it to the first round of the primary. And that's both fair and unfair.”
Harris secured enough support from Democratic delegates to become the party's presumptive nominee in July, even though the vice president attracted virtually no support from primary voters. Left-wing voters and former presidential adviser Doug Schoen said at the time that the process was flawed.
“But the idea of, 'Don't say anything bad about her because it's Trump,' I don't buy that idea. I don't buy that, and that's not the way to get to a better place. Relative evaluation. She has some negativity, and so does he. Yeah. He has some even more loyal fans. That's why this race is so close. he added. “Well, unless you want to dismiss half of this country as bigots, explain it to me. How do you explain something so harsh? Maybe you're not as good at everything as you think Maybe that's not true. Maybe you should be a little more open to people who disagree with you. Maybe they're not all racists.
Cuomo also defended the motives of Trump supporters in September.
“Most of the people who support Trump are desperate to change the system and are willing to swallow everything Trump is not because of who he is. “It is a force that destroys what is happening,” he said. “It doesn't mean they're all just bigots, it doesn't mean they all act like him, think like him, talk like him. They're just what he sells. I just want to change things, destroy systems.”
Trump currently leads Harris in all seven battleground states. According to RealClearPolling average.
