WHY ISN’T HARRIS WINNING BY A LOT? It’s been more than a week since the Harris-Trump presidential debate, and Thursday saw a spate of post-debate polls on the state of the race. The short version is, nationally and in the key swing states, it’s pretty much tied.

The entire Democratic Party, plus its allies in the larger political world and in the legal system, plus the entertainment industry, plus much of the media — haven’t they thrown everything they have at former President Donald Trump? With all that firepower, how is Trump still standing, let alone tied with Harris? More pointedly, why isn’t Harris winning by a big margin?
