Kamala Harris’ chances of winning the White House are getting slimmer with every news cycle, and nowhere is that more evident than in Pennsylvania. It’s a state that Joe Biden narrowly hits won in 2020 and is expected to be the state that decides everything in 2024.
RedState’s Ward Clark detailed what’s happening there on the ground for the two presidential candidates on Wednesday:
The most recent PA poll, conducted by Rasmussen from October 9th to 13th, has Donald Trump increased by three points. He is ahead of Kamala Harris in the RCP average 0.3 points.
Any way you look at it, it looks like another photo finish in the Keystone State. And that’s why both campaigns invest a lot of time and resources there, with Elon Musk Election campaign for Trump by giving a series of speaking engagements across the Commonwealth, and Kamala brought an compelling cast of characters to facilitate her. More on this in just a minute.
But first, Kamala is trying to put Tuesday’s disastrous news cycle behind her by holding several events in Pennsylvania on Wednesday. One of those events is a rally in Bucks County, part of her campaign’s attempt to influence Republican voters in the area in hopes of carrying them over the finish line.
There’s just one thing, as a reporter on the scene noted: there’s almost no one there:

While it’s a quaint-looking setup, it’s severely lacking in seats, a stark contrast to the massive turnouts Donald Trump is getting at his Pennsylvania rallies.
And here’s Kamala’s trump card (scroll down):

Yes, she is campaigning against the Republican-rejected George Conway in the hope of getting the “conservatives” on her side. Sure, there are plenty of Republicans who, like the vile Conway, abandoned Donald Trump after he took over the GOP, but those voters left the country long ago; It’s unlikely that there is a huge group of dissatisfied Republican voters waiting to be swept away by Kamala Harris.
Nonetheless, Kamala probably continues in vain seek for said voters:
On Wednesday, Harris returns to Pennsylvania, this time with several high-profile Republicans in tow, according to a senior campaign official who spoke anonymously to share planning for the upcoming event. This is all part of the campaign’s effort to connect with these voters and show that Republicans are supporting the vice president, giving other conservative voters permission to do so, too.
As if the election campaign with people like George Conway wasn’t a clear sign of desperation News The fact that she is taking advertising money out of Wisconsin and putting it in Pennsylvania certainly is. A media insider noted, “Kamala Harris’ campaign has dramatically scaled back local television advertising in the Milwaukee market and shifted those resources to Philadelphia, where the campaign is believed to be deeply concerned about voter turnout and margins there.”
Kamala Harris has been in the presidential race since she entered the race in July issued She invested more than $1 billion to secure the votes needed to win, with most of her massive fundraising spent in swing states like Pennsylvania. That’s a huge investment in an effort that doesn’t seem to be paying off; If she courts the George Conway wing of the Republican Party, which technically no longer exists, less than three weeks before Election Day, she could be in for a complete electoral disaster.
