**Desperation Signals: Kamala Harris' Polls Plummet After Walz Selection**
In a surprising turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris' decision to select Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate has backfired in dramatic fashion.
Recent polling indicates that Harris' once solid standing in Minnesota is weakening.
A recent SurveyUSA poll shows her lead over Donald Trump has now shrunk to just 5 points, down from a more comfortable 10-point margin.
This sharp decline comes despite Harris’ and Walz’s home state Democratic leanings, raising eyebrows about the effectiveness of this choice to bolster her campaign.
What was expected to be a strategic selection to enhance her appeal appears to have had the opposite effect.
Polling data reveals that even among Democrats, Walz's popularity is suspect.
Only 52% of voters see him as an excellent or good choice, while a staggering 34% labeled him a poor pick.
The results hint at an unsettling trend—voters may feel more connected to their local leaders than to national Democratic strategies.
Analysts speculate that Harris’ decision may have been driven by a desire to placate her more radical supporters, rather than securing votes from swing states like Pennsylvania.
Conversely, had she opted for Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, some argue her candidacy would be much stronger, particularly in crucial battlegrounds.
This apparent miscalculation has left her campaign scrambling.
In another challenge for the Harris campaign, Trump senior advisor Jason Miller has suggested that the Harris team is looking to change debate rules, which were previously agreed upon.
Miller believes that this indicates nerves within the Harris camp, as they prepare for an upcoming debate against Trump, who has been noted for his exceptional debate skills.
Trump's messaging strategy is focused on reminding voters of their better lives under his administration, setting the stage for a fierce showdown.
As the political landscape shifts and more evidence of dissent within the Democratic ranks emerges, the question remains—can Harris recover from this significant blunder in time for the election?
With polls visibly tightening and uncertainty reigning, it looks like the road ahead is anything but certain for the Harris-Walz ticket.
