Kamala’s Kollapse

Early state polling trends show Kamala Harris’s bold bid for the Democratic presidential nomination has proven a colossal bust. The latest post-debate polling is in from Iowa, showing a 13-point slide since the last USA Today poll in the state and rendering this tweet all the more pathetic.

The California senator, who was beating front-runners Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in some Iowa polling as recently as July, has made a real impression, evidently, and it isn’t a good one. She has sunk to 3.3% in RealClearPolitics polling. Just four candidates — Warren, Biden, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — split a whopping 70% of support.

In New Hampshire, Harris has collapsed from a summertime peak in the double digits to a measly 4.7%. Again, the mayor of Indiana’s fourth-largest city leads her there.

At least in Nevada and South Carolina, Harris does beat Buttigieg, but she has still fallen to below 6%. Even in her home state — and California is actually important this time — she’s down to 8.8% in her polling average, competing in the same tier as Buttigieg and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Without a single early voting state providing her a path and voters coalescing around Biden, Sanders, and Warren, Harris’s path to the presidency has been locked away from her like the mother of a truant child.

Unlike Buttigieg, who refused to corner himself by endorsing Medicare for All or the Green New Deal and who can now position himself as a moderate-to-liberal alternative to a declining Biden, Harris is a lying leftist at best and purely self-interested without a shred of principle at worst. With her fundraising slowing and polls tanking, her 2020 hopes are done.

The brightest stars burn the fastest. Just as quickly as her moment came, it’s over.
