You\u2019re not lying to the American public about her fitness for office. And you know what? She\u2019ll probably lose, but Biden\u2019s probably gonna lose too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cWhat\u2019s the world in which Biden wins that Harris doesn\u2019t win? I mean, it\u2019s like the worlds where Biden wins involve worlds where the polling is so far off we don\u2019t know anything to begin with, or where Trump goes to jail or something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd like any Democrat can win under those conditions, any halfway competent Democrat. Maybe we\u2019re not going to get more than a halfway competent option.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten\u00a0said Monday he would \u201ctake a roll of the dice\u201d on Harris if he were a Democratic donor, as she is polling ahead of Biden with independent voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t mean to diagnose him medically, but you can\u2019t project, \u2018We are the campaign that is just a steady hand, competence, no chaos anymore.\u2019 That cat is out of the bag,\u201d Silver said. \u201cIt\u2019s too late for that. You\u2019re selling people on a lie.\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe honest thing to do is to say, \u2018We chose this woman to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>, and she has served as vice president for three and a half years now. At any moment, she could become president. Joe Biden could have a heart attack. There could be some type of attack on wherever Joe Biden is located. We elected people, elected Kamala Harris to be vice president, and clearly, you\u2019re in a situation where she is more fit to be president than Biden over the next four years.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump leads Harris 45.6 percent to 43.9 percent in a head-to-head matchup, according to an average of recent polls calculated by <a href=\"https:\/\/elections2024.thehill.com\/national\/harris-trump-general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A Reuters\/Ipsos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/one-three-democrats-think-biden-should-quit-race-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2024-07-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a> released in early July found the two were neck-and-neck, with 43 percent of voters backing the former president and 42 percent supporting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-dumbest-hits-time-thought-voter-required-access-kinkos-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vice president<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s it say about her?\u201d Silver said. \u201cWhat\u2019s it say about how cynical the decision was? Maybe you picked her in\u2026 summer 2020 because you were in a period where there was a lot of this racial reckoning, so-called, right? But she is a senator from California; she\u2019s been a district attorney, right? She is someone who I think is generally regarded as very smart and competent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problems were mostly the fact that, politically, she wasn\u2019t a very compelling candidate, although she might have some upside potential.
