Kamala Speaks ... And Loses Steam


Kamala Harris and Walz with Dana Bash | Tom Barton

The Harris bounce had already begun to wear off last week and now after her first interview since receiving the Democratic nod to run against President Trump, her odds have fallen even further.

Kamala Harris sat down with a very favorable CNN and host Dana Bash for her first speaking appearance and it went as poorly as anyone could have imagined. Reports came out that CNN had to cut the interview short for fear of how poorly received the Vice President would come off and even with all that editing she still sunk herself lower in the odds.

Harris had lost her entire lead before the interview as Trump and her were in a virtual tie, but afterwards Trump has now regained his lead and is rising in the polls. Kamala went from being in a virtual tie or a slight underdog to watching the market move against her even more so. According to some books Trump now has seen his lead of winning the presidency rise to 53% and some books have him listed as a -140 favorite.

The lead has flip flopped through the summer but is now firmly in Trump's favor as the prohibitive favorite. Between the RFK alliance and the Harris interview debacle most books assume that Trump's lead will only grow, but many don't believe he will ever be as big of a favorite as he became after the assasination attempt.
