Dems Think They’ll Do WHAT?

(StraightShooterNews.com) – Evidently, Democrats are feeling increasingly confident about their chances to take control of the House in the upcoming election, especially now that Kamala Harris is leading their ticket instead of Joe Biden.

This surge in optimism became clear after last week’s national convention in Chicago, where Harris accepted the nomination in a coronation-style event.

As a result, Democrat lawmakers are claiming a significant increase in volunteer sign-ups, campaign donations and overall enthusiasm among voters.

“I don’t know a member who doesn’t think that,” said Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), capturing the mood among Democrats. “We’ve seen the enthusiasm; we’re hearing it.”

Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) asserted that Harris’ candidacy has expanded the electoral map for Democrats and energized their campaign efforts.

“No question about it: It elevates a lot of our races, it may broaden the map,” Kildee said. “Look, we’ve still got to finish it. But just looking at volunteers and small-dollar donors — those are two variables that matter, we know they are.”

Just two months ago, the mood was quite different as Democrats were dealing with the fallout from Biden’s lackluster debate performance against former GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“The path we were on was unsustainable,” stated Rep. Annie Kuster (D-NH). “To be earnest, I thought we were going to lose 20-plus seats, and lose the Senate, and lose the White House.”

On the Republican side, the switch from Biden to Harris has forced a recalibration of their campaign strategies as they now face a more popular opponent in Harris.

A House GOP strategist noted, “We just spent the last four years trying to define Biden, and we have a very limited amount of time to define Kamala.”

Although Harris’ popularity has boosted Democrat fundraising efforts, GOP campaign operatives remain skeptical that her presence on the ticket will decisively impact House races.

They see her as potentially more vulnerable due to her past controversial positions, such as her support for banning fracking and the “defund the police” movement.

Overall, Republican strategists believe the House race remains highly competitive, echoing the sentiment that it is still “neck and neck” as the campaigns head into their final stretch.
