As Donald Trump’s chaotic campaign spirals into ever more outrageous territory, one question looms larger than ever: How is he still neck-and-neck with Kamala Harris in the race for the White House?
Democrats have held onto the belief that the chaotic memories of Trump’s presidency would doom his chances. Yet, despite a barrage of reckless rhetoric and bizarre claims, the race remains a statistical tie.
In recent weeks, Trump has unleashed a torrent of absurdities, from unfounded rumors about immigrants in Ohio to blaming Jewish voters if he loses. His refusal to condemn a gubernatorial candidate who labeled himself a “black Nazi” showcases not just a lack of judgment, but a profound unfitness for the presidency. Yet, astonishingly, Trump remains a formidable contender.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has highlighted the tightness of the race, stating, “This election is going to be close. We have always known that.” Her words resonate as polling indicates this contest could hinge on the whims of just a few hundred thousand voters in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. How can this be?
