Democrats Sour on Biden, Rally Behind Harris Amid Election Fears

Democrats are singing a different tune this summer as they appear to have collectively agreed that President Joe Biden has overstayed his welcome. Despite Biden’s past glory of unseating former President Donald Trump, the enthusiasm meter was dangerously low when it came to his reelection campaign. This palpable lack of excitement seemed downright contagious, leading Democrats to give the thumbs-up to Vice President Kamala Harris as the new head of the ticket.

Once Biden announced his departure, the party seemed ready to party—at least in theory. A frenzy of maneuvering commenced among Democrats to rally delegates behind Harris, avoiding the dreaded primary process that could expose their divisive inner workings. Unlike a political episode of “Survivor,” which would be entertaining, many in the party saw Harris as their best shot at repeating their surprising 2020 win. Harris, meanwhile, was busy collecting endorsements like they were Pokémon cards, hoping they would magically translate into votes.

But here’s the kicker: Key Democratic constituencies in critical “blue wall” states seem less than thrilled with Harris. The Teamsters, normally a reliable ally for Democrats, recently dropped a bombshell with internal polling indicating that Donald Trump is leading Harris nearly two-to-one among union members. The Teamsters have historically aligned with the Democratic ticket, but this time, they didn’t just slow their roll—they opted not to endorse a Democratic candidate for the first time since Bill Clinton was in office.

The political math here is fascinating. When Biden was in the race, more Teamsters leaned toward him over Trump. Yet, post-Biden, Trump has surged to nearly 60% support among Teamsters, while Harris lingered in the low 30s. The realization is dawning upon Democrats: burying Biden may not have been the winning strategy they assumed it would be. It turns out, all that glitters under Harris’ banner isn’t gold—especially not for the workers in key battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

As the Trump campaign gears up for battle, they are quick to point out that Harris’ radical left policies pose a direct threat to American workers. The current messaging suggests that voters realize Harris’ flirtation with things like banning fracking and enforcing electric vehicle mandates could spell disaster for their livelihoods. Trump’s appeal to working-class voters who feel abandoned by the Democratic Party has only strengthened as those crucial voters reconsider their loyalties. The dynamics at play are akin to a political tug-of-war, where the rope is fraying and may soon snap altogether.

In other news, while the political arena heats up, the Biden administration faces a growing crisis with illegal immigration, which has surged to levels not seen in years. A storm of resources is being strained, leading to a ripple of concerns from voters, particularly as crime tied to illegal immigration sees an uptick. Congressman Tony Gonzales has been sounding the alarm over organized crime and the impact on the nation’s largest oil-producing region. His efforts to tackle these critical issues are, unsurprisingly, thwarted by the Biden administration’s handling of the border situation.

The reality is that illegal immigration isn’t just a campaign issue. It pertains directly to security and economic integrity, affecting countless American workers. Instead of providing effective enforcement and support to law enforcement, the current administration appears caught in a quagmire. If the goal is to protect American interests, then serious measures need to be implemented. It’s clear that as the 2024 presidential race heats up, Democrats’ internal squabbles coupled with an immigration crisis could spell disaster for their electoral hopes. The clock is ticking, and conservatives are poised to capitalize on the cracks appearing in the Democrats’ once-so-sturdy wall. The game has changed, and it could get interesting as Harris seeks to prove she can present a formidable challenge to Trump in a climate that’s growing increasingly skeptical.
