Video Summary
In a stark turn of events, President Trump's re-election prospects have taken a devastating blow. Polls, betting odds, and even the Wall Street Journal editorial board are all trending away from the President. Since July 20th, when he was facing off against Joe Biden, the betting odds have shifted dramatically in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. According to multiple trackers, including PredictIt.org, Harris's chances of becoming the next President have surged. Meanwhile, British sports book William Hill has revised Nikki Haley's chances of winning the presidency from 250-1 to 50-1, based on the premise that Haley would replace Trump as the nominee.
Recent polling in key battleground states also paints a grim picture for Trump, with Harris leading by two points. The Wall Street Journal editorial board has criticized Trump's standing, stating that he has a ceiling of support below 50%, due to widespread public dislike. The board warns that Trump's daily campaigning is only serving to remind voters of their 2020 decision not to re-elect him, and that his struggles are now hurting Republican candidates for the House and Senate.
In a stark contrast to his 2016 campaign, Trump has only held five rallies since the Republican National Convention in July, while Harris has held numerous events. The President's team has also faced criticism for not being more active on the campaign trail. As the election season heats up, it remains to be seen if Trump can turn things around, but the current momentum appears to be strongly in favor of Harris.
