There are ominous signs that Kamala Harris’ Blue Wall is collapsing
The ads for Democratic Senate candidates in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are doing something new and important. They don’t just say they favor a few of Trump’s policies. They actually use Donald Trump’s name in positive terms. They avoid mentioning Kamala Harris and never utter the words, “Joe Biden.” That new tone must reflect what those candidates are seeing in private polls, which are trending, ever so slightly, in Trump’s direction. So, the ads urge pro-Trump voters to split their tickets and vote Democrat for Senate, implying they won’t staunchly oppose Trump’s agenda as president. That may be smart for those candidates, but it is an ominous portent for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
