Byron Donalds (R-FL) criticized Vice \u2063President Kamala Harris&#8217;s campaign, claiming the lack of\u200c voter enthusiasm \u200dsurrounding her \u200ccandidacy is due to her political\u2063 record. In a recent appearance on Fox\u2063 News, he pointed to \u2063polling data that shows Harris and former President Donald Trump are\u2064 in a tight race. Donalds suggested that instead \u200dof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-explains-what-americans-dont-understand-about-hamas\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro on Americans&#039; Misconceptions of Hamas\">blaming external factors<\/a> for her struggles, Harris&#8217;s campaign \u200dteam should take responsibility for their\u2062 failure to\u2063 connect with \u2064voters. He \u200battributed her low\u2062 approval ratings to her handling of issues like immigration, the economy, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">cultural debates surrounding gender identity<\/a>. The congressman asserted that these \u200b&#8221;radical ideas&#8221; have negatively impacted her campaign, while he believes Trump offers a more favorable approach. Additionally, he referenced former President Barack Obama\u2019s recent remarks about the lack of\u200c support\u2062 for\u200d Harris among Black men, calling the situation a joke and criticizing media portrayal of the campaign.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Donalds says Harris needs to &lsquo;blame&rsquo; herself over lack of voter enthusiasm<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1842414\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/byron-donalds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Byron Donalds<\/a> (R-FL) contended the Harris campaign is at fault for why Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> is not ahead by a large margin in the election, specifically due to her political record.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Polling data released Monday, conducted among 5,000 registered voters, found that former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> and Harris were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/10\/21\/harris-trump-post-schar-school-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>in a dead heat<\/a>.
