Donald Trump can’t stop whining about the unfairness of it all. “They stole the race from Biden after he won in the primaries — A First!” he raged on social media. “These people are the real THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.”
If you say so, grandpa. The young are having a ball and the barstool bores with their beer bellies and Trump tattoos, F*** Biden flags and skull decals on their pick-up trucks have been shut out of the fun. The first post-Biden poll to emerge from Reuters/Ipsos yesterday showed Harris leading Trump by a squeaker — 44 per cent to 42 per cent — as she introduces herself to previously sceptical voters. It was only last week that the Trumpsters were feeling chipper in their Maga hats at the Republican convention in Wisconsin, grooving to old timers like “Kid” Rock and grizzled wrestling champ Hulk Hogan.
Yesterday it was Harris’s turn to be the happy warrior in the same battleground state. “I know Donald Trump’s type,” the prosecutor said to the predator. Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney, is revelling in the contrast she can draw with a convicted felon, sex abuser and fraudster. “Yes we Kam,” the crowd chanted approvingly. But Harris pivoted quickly to the voters who matter most in this election. “Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency,” Harris said, deploying the US term for the working class. She knows she has to challenge Trump on his populist home ground.
