We now of course have that to the republican and Democratic National convention n and right now they are telling a story that Vice President harris is doing significant the better than President Biden has been doing and that is comparatively good news for the democrats. They are, apparently better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch. That said, in absolute terms, the National Polls and the swing state polls, broadly speaking dont really give either Party Something to celebrate and Vice President harris may be doing better than biden was against trump but it doesnt mean she is clearly winning and it is a tie between the two category candidates.

They are apparently better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch from biden to harris. That said in absolute terms the polls and Swing State Polls broadly speaking dont really give either party a reason to celebrate right now. Vice president harris maybe doing better than biden was against trump, but it doesnt mean she was clearly winning against trump. Its basically a tie between the two candidates right now.

Even without trump ive now i say there is trying to some in the media is not recognizing it and i think thats a huge mistake go ahead bob. I greeted a lot of sled victory over the blue wave they refer to.

Instead they spent the last 4 years under minding
Saying that trump was merely a president who came to power by with us or the kremlin and through fake news so because they never really took a. Clear as all survey of why this happened then never really addressed it and when to which is why they thought that this was merely a mistake and i think this. Is a lot firmer on the cations now further because. They see they need to come to terms with why people still voted for trump and just why they didnt have a blue a bunch of get this whole idea that the country would again go back to normal and unified it was again based on that did the trunk was a mistake and people would reject him but again he so turned out to have started an entirely new movement and even if hes gone some little pick out there and there will continue all same of a lot of the same policies and i guess the main problem is theres no i dont see any possibility for cation bringing the country together because again theyre the main concern or problem people i was trying to i
