Senator Kamala Harris’ campaign is in big trouble and the problems are coming from both inside and out.
We already know she has plummeted in support since the first debate, but now her own campaign workers are at each other’s throats.
Pointing the Blame
Depending upon who you talk to, the blame for the failure of the campaign falls on one of two people.
Campaign manager Juan Rodriguez is taking much of the blame for some rash decisions.
With Harris dipping in all of the polls, decisions had to be made to both cut costs and keep Harris alive in the race.
Harris had been spending a lot of time in both New Hampshire and Iowa, but her sole focus now appears to be Iowa.
Several New Hampshire offices were closed and layoffs were made.
Subsequently, a few resignations were handed in, which is when all the finger-pointing started.
Rumors have been passing through the media that the campaign has no direction and no plan.
New reports, however, have pointed in a different direction to Harris’ sister Maya.
Maya Harris is serving as Rodriguez’s deputy, but insiders are saying she is the one calling the shots.
They have also stated that he has had some good ideas only getting approval from Maya took so long to implement that by the time these measures were put into place, they simply fizzled.
One Harris campaign official stated, “From the outset of this race, he has had all the responsibility with none of the authority.
“He’s been managing this race with at least one, if not two, hands tied behind his back.
The official added, “He would never talk shit about [Maya]. He would never undermine her.
“He’s just not that guy.”
That theme was repeated by a recently departed staff member, who stated, “Everybody has had to make cuts. And people are pissed. They see a void. They want to push someone out. And I understand that.
“But the root cause of all of this is that no one was empowered really to make the decisions and make them fast and make them decisively.”
Missing One Point
While everyone is looking to place the blame on these two, the one name we have not seen mentioned, however, is that of Kamala Harris.
Harris’ record has been ripped to shreds and she even admits that she has more or less moved to Iowa.
In the meantime, she has been neglecting both her state and her duties in the Senate.
Considering the happenings in California right now, this is a pretty big deal and one that voters are obviously picking up on.
Honestly, it is Harris that should be taking the blame for all of this because she is just not that good of a candidate.
She fooled a lot of people out of the gate but the truth always comes out and that is what has killed her campaign.
Everything else is just white noise and finger-pointing.
