Dem Strategist Hits Republican With Blunt Reality Check On His Kamala Harris Prediction

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills  explained why she thinks the energy around Vice President Kamala Harris campaign wont slow down after former Rep. Scott Taylor (R-Va.) declared that the presidential candidates momentum will come to a screeching halt before November.

Taylor, who appeared on CNN s Erin Burnett OutFront on Wednesday, recalled leading in the polls prior to his 2020 election loss and then reflected on seeing Harris speech at an NAACP National Convention before she first ran for president in 2020.

She didnt connect with that audience. It fell very flat, said Taylor, who claimed Harris was rumored to be the next female Obama at the time and said he thought shed go nowhere as a presidential candidate in that cycle after a horrible performance.

He continued, And why I say that is, I believe, in my opinion, the more the American people and certainly the independents which are crucial, as you said the more they see her in her own words, in her own videos, the more I think that they will dislike her.

Mills, in response, couldnt help but laugh at Taylors comical prediction on the Democratic nominee.

Heres the reality, right, the numbers dont lie, we just saw them, said Mills, who added that the momentum is absolutely on Democrats side.

She continued: All Democrats may not even agree on the policy agenda of this administration and certainly Republicans might not. The big idea here, though, is that we share the same values of who we want to be as a nation, even if we dont agree on every single detail and that is not divisive.

Theres been a rise in enthusiasm among Democrats toward the 2024 race since Harris began her campaign last month, according to the findings of a new poll of registered voters released Wednesday.

A separate poll shows the Democratic nominee either leading or tied with former President Donald Trump in six of seven battleground states, according to a survey from the Cook Political Report Swing State Project.

Mills said Democrats who may be torn on policy wont suddenly cause Harris to lose support. Rather, it will remind party members that they are bigger than the sum of our parts.
