“No one wants to come see her”

Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered celebrity endorsements from Taylor Swift to Eminem and Usher, but some critics are rooting for the confidence campaign. strong on star power.

“I think Kamala Harris is using all these celebrities because nobody wants to come see her,” Trump 2024 Black media affairs director Janiyah Thomas said Friday. “Focusing on Faulkner”.

“I don’t think people want to organize an arena for him. They come to see these celebrities. They want to see a Megan Thee Stallion concert. They want to see Usher on stage. I think he needs that celebrity impact. to gain momentum and gain more excitement around it.”

Harris also teamed up with the Democratic Party’s most popular politician, former President Obama, during a campaign rally Thursday in Georgia.

Obama faced scrutiny for his campaign efforts, namely his comments towards black men who are declining in support of Harris.

“The sniffing is disgusting,” Thomas said of Obama’s campaign appearances. “I don’t think it’s any place for him to come from the estate of Martha’s Vineyard to come and talk to the people and say how they should think and how they should vote. It’s very broken.”

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who Harris called an “American icon” and has been supporting Democratic presidential candidates for two decades, performed three songs at Thursday night’s rally.

Actor, director and playwright Tyler Perry, film director, producer, screenwriter and actor Spike Lee and actor Samuel L. Jackson also spoke.

Trump campaign director of rapid response Jake Schneider, reacting to the star-studded event, charged that “relying on celebrities is nothing new for the party of Hollywood elites.”

The former president has garnered a number of celebrity endorsements, including country music star Jason Aldean. It also enjoys the support of other celebrities, including the founder and multi-billionaire Telsa Elon Musk, Hip-hop star, rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, singer Kid Rock, actors Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammar, former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre, former Indy racer Danica Patrick and celebrity chef Paula Deen.

Despite the Hollywood campaign fanfare, Harris is struggling to retain a key voting bloc typically held by the Democratic Party — black Americans.

“I think (Harris’) experience is a delusional world. I think she is not willing to face the fact that she is losing her main voting block. I’m losing black people. I’m losing Latino people. They lose. Women in the suburbs, you know, I think she doesn’t really want to face the reality that these people are looking at President Trump because his policies benefit these communities more,” Thomas said.

Harris fell back in support among Latino and black voters in the seven weeks between polls. A recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll found that Latino voters now support Trump 49 percent to 38 percent. Black voters favor Harris 72 percent to 17 percent, but that 55-point advantage is significantly smaller than the advantage traditionally enjoyed by Democrats.

Noticing the shift in the traditional Democratic edge, the Harris campaign has stepped up its efforts to appeal to those key voting blocs.
