WATCH: Top Political Insider Reveals Massive Warning Signs For Kamala

Veteran D.C. journalist Mark Halperin said he sees the bottom falling out of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, eroding further with each passing day.

Appearing on 2WAY TV, the “Game Changer” author said the Democrat doesn’t have much runway left to regain the momentum she’s lost since jumping into the race back in August. “We can no longer say there’s plenty of time left,” he told panelists Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine. “We’re in the endgame now.” He admitted speaking with Democratic operatives who are privately fuming about her lackluster travel plans. There are “complaints about her schedule,” Halperin went on. “Her schedule’s lighter than Trump’s. Today’s a typical example. She’s starting her day at 4:30. I’m sure she’s doing stuff during the day that is intended to help her win. But there are Democrats asking, ‘Why isn’t she in three battleground states today?’ Why isn’t she in four media markets in Pennsylvania today, rather than one, if you assume she’s behind, which I think she is right now.”

“This is a list of Democratic officials and operatives who said they’re worried about this.” However, Halperin cautioned, “That doesn’t mean Harris is going to lose, it doesn’t mean this race isn’t close. We look at where this race is, that both candidates have at least 46%.” Compounding problems about her work ethic is the pervasive need by Harris to shore up key elements of her party’s base. She is set to appear on a major radio show on Tuesday night in an appeal to Black voters who currently only support her at a rate of 78%, according to the latest polls. That puts her far below the 90% enjoyed by President Joe Biden in 2020 and is even lower than Hillary Clinton’s margin in 2016. “Targeting Black voters is a problem if she’s starting this late,” Halperin added.

Third, “she is talking about things that don’t have real effects on the real lives of everyday people,” he went on. Rather than pivot after multiple data points suggest her talking points aren’t connecting with voters, she is targeting former President Donald Trump with attacks on his tax records and refusal to sit for interviews, both of which most voters probably agree are inconsequential on their lives. “Ask people if they’re gonna decide who they vote for based on whether Trump will do a ’60 Minutes’ interview or whether he will agree to a debate. These are all signs that they know they have a problem.”

In an earlier show, Halpin described the unprecedented nature of what Harris is trying to achieve. “What’s happening now with Kamala Harris is an experiment,” Halperin said last week. “Can you win a short campaign with an untested candidate? And what I’m telling you in private polling is she’s got a problem now. It’s not cheering for Trump. It’s not predicting Trump will win, [but] she’s got a problem.”

He pointed to a recent New York Times poll indicating Harris is up 3% nationally, a position that puts her on the “bubble” of a lead that isn’t guaranteed. At the same time, the Wall Street Journal reported on Harris’s struggle to connect with working-class voters in places like Wisconsin where internal polling from Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign has shown Harris trailing Trump by the same margin. “There’s no path without Wisconsin,” Halperin said. “Wisconsin and Michigan are looking worse than before.”

Polls in swing states and betting markets are indicating that observers agree with Halperin: Harris has not calculated how to recover her mojo. She now sits at her lowest point against Trump in political betting markets, and some of the most critical swing states have flashing warning signs for her campaign. In Nevada, a state which has not gone Republican at the presidential level since 2004, President Trump recently enjoyed a 5% lead in one poll.
