Kamala Harris’s campaign is in serious trouble
Things have been going downhill for a while. Photo: Gerald Herbert/AP/Shutterstock Jonathan Chait, Benjamin Hart, and Ed Kilgore discuss whether the California senator still has a shot in the primary.
Ben: But seriously, folks, is there really any way she comes back from this? I’m trying to envision a scenario where she does. Jon: Yes, in the following sense: Primaries are often hard to predict. Most voters could vote for almost any of the candidates under the right circumstances. So it’s always possible for some weird pinballing effect to change the dynamic suddenly.
Ed: Trouble is, there are several of those acceptable-to-all-factions candidates in the field who aren’t running out of money. And she’s not exactly tailor-made for Iowa, where she now has to do really well. She probably shouldn’t have let herself get quoted saying, “I’m f- - -ing moving to Iowa.”
