Another day, another \u201cword salad\u201d from Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Harris called for another presidential debate. However, she misspoke and oddly stated that she wanted \u201cthe former vice president to\u201d accept the debate. Trump is the former president, not the vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris: \u201cWell, you\u2019ve probably heard I would like another debate. So, I\u2019m hoping the former vice president will agree to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhich Vice President is she talking about here?\u201d a social media user asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump campaign\u2019s X account \u201cTrump War Room\u201d mocked her gaffe, saying: \u201cKamala says she\u2019d \u2018like another debate\u2019 with the \u2018former vice president.\u2019 Does she think she\u2019s running against Mike Pence? Dick Cheney? Dan Quayle? Has she covered up Biden\u2019s cognitive decline for so long that it has now rubbed off on her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Vice President Kamala Harris has received fawning media coverage and has never really been pressed about her policy positions\u2014including several flip-flops\u2014since being anointed the Democratic Party nominee by President Joe Biden over the summer, she still hasn\u2019t managed to build much of a lead over her GOP rival, former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, in fact, according to one of the country\u2019s leading pollsters, despite all of her favorable press, she and Trump are essentially tied, according to Nate Silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith all seven states polling so closely, I don\u2019t really have an intuition beyond what\u2019s in our forecast, which is 50-50, almost exactly,\u201d Silver told CNN on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook clearly, Harris has some kind of momentum post-debate. The thing that would worry me a little bit if I were Democrat is that she had the same momentum earlier on in the campaign and then had a very flat to negative period afterwards. So, can she sustain the good vibe, so to speak, that she had before? You know, to me, Trump seems pretty off-kilter recently. It\u2019s a bit more subjective,\u201d Silver continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re not going to wake up on November 5 with a lot of certainty about the outcome. We might not go to bed on November 5 with a lot of certainty, either. You could even have a recount 2020 style or 2000 style, rather, in one or more key swing states,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other pollsters share Silver\u2019s uncertainty, though another top election forecaster sees Trump with a clear advantage heading into the home stretch as early voting began this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Fox News\u2019 Laura Ingraham on Thursday, pollster Matt Towery discussed the latest data and proclaimed that Trump is ahead of where he was in 2016 and 2020 at the same time during those campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExplain how these candidates could be tied nationally, but Kamala is up in Pennsylvania? What does that mean?\u201d Ingraham asked to begin the segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, you know, let me just say this. The polling gurus and predictors are going to start telling you over the next month and a half that Harris is gaining speed in these various battleground states,\u201d Towery responded. \u201cThey\u2019re somehow going to say that she\u2019s gaining speed in the national polls. I\u2019m just going to predict it. They\u2019re going to say that she\u2019s going to win and Trump will lose. It makes no sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have to understand. Trump is running way ahead of where he has in the last two cycles that he ran in the national average. I mean, she is much closer than either Biden or, before that, Hillary Clinton. And in these various states, now, you know, everybody has their different way of sampling things. I think all of these states are very tight,\u201d he continued<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any state where anyone has a four or five-point lead right now that\u2019s a battleground state. I just don\u2019t see it, and I don\u2019t believe it,\u201d Towery said.<\/p>\n
