After Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election in 2016, many on the left criticized her campaign for making a variety of mistakes, including not campaigning in Wisconsin.
Of course, back then, the polls all showed her comfortably ahead. You almost couldn’t blame her entirely, since the narrative at the time was that she had anywhere from a 75% to a 99% chance of winning the election.
But 2024 is nothing like 2016. The Kamala Harris campaign has zero reasons to think it has this election in the bag.
Everyone is saying this race is going to be close, and that’s what the polls are showing. We’re now just two weeks until Election Day, when every moment is critical, and the Harris-Walz campaign is very much aware of Clinton’s mistakes in 2016 and has no intention of repeating them.
Yet it’s starting to look like they are. Kamala’s campaign schedule has been blasted for being light compared to Donald Trump’s — despite her campaign’s claims that Trump is the one who is canceling events due to exhaustion.
On Tuesday, she wasn’t on the campaign trail at all. She was in Washington, D.C., preparing for two interviews.
