Vice President Kamala Harris is experiencing what could be the end of her campaign as four major issues converge at the same time.
It is no exaggeration to say that Harris needs a politically comfortable October if she wants to win the White House. The race between her and former President Donald Trump is so close that any upset could result in a last-minute surge in votes. Unfortunately for Harris, as November 5 approaches, she is eyeing four issues that will spell disaster for her campaign.
The least discussed but most important issue facing Harris (and the rest of the country) is the coastal port strike that began on October 1st. Americans may have just realized that negotiations between the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), which have been going on for months, are taking place between Americans. ) and the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) are at an impasse. The promised strike began on Tuesday, with workers vowing to hold out until their demands for wages and automation protections are met.

Parking lots at major retailers are already filling up with cars as Americans brace for massive supply chain disruptions and sharp price hikes due to inflation. Harris can expect the media to demonize these workers as selfish, greedy people seeking profit, but what they don't want to tell the American people is that the Biden-Harris administration will protect Americans. If they had done so, there would have been no problem with this. We built it so that we no longer depend on foreign countries (which control the docks) to make the products we use every day, or longshore workers to unload those products from the docks. (ROOKE: Looming October surprise could devastate Kamala's campaign)
Harris is now stuck between a rock and a hard place. If the Biden-Harris administration does not engage in strikes, he may gain political support from union workers, but he will lose the votes of American families. Should the Biden-Harris administration force longshoremen back into forced labor? rail strikemay negate some economic damage. But the harm will still remain. Americans should still brace for significant economic fallout, and Harris should expect blue-collar workers not to turn out to vote for her in November.

Either way, American taxpayers will bear the cost of this fight after four years of Democratic policies that have created near-relentless inflation and wiped out the purchasing power of the dollar.
As the effects of Hurricane Helen continue to unfold, Harris also faces humanitarian tragedies in parts of the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. The optics here are terrible. President Joe Biden said Americans feel that the federal government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been unable to provide further aid to affected areas because of their advance planning. But Mr. Biden and Mr. Harris have been slow to acknowledge the damage caused by Helen, and neither has visited the site, suggesting they are at least a little concerned.

step by step photo shoot A few Harrises sitting in a command center in Washington, D.C., is not enough. People on the ground are frustrated by the lack of state and federal support. Thousands of people are trapped in their homes without running water, food, medicine or a way to escape the disaster. However, that is only if the house is not completely destroyed by a flood or landslide. Although the death toll will continue to rise, the disaster did not appear to be an issue for Harris until President Trump mentioned it in his campaign speech. It doesn't really matter whether this is true or not. What matters is that people on the ground feel that way, and that Trump is the only candidate who does. jump They will travel to Georgia with supplies and meet with emergency personnel to get an update on the damage.
North Carolinians are getting the message across. The government is not here to save you. It's up to all of us to help each other.
I think this is devastating. Because God knows how much our government is obscene for any reason. However, when it comes to helping… pic.twitter.com/aNsJ5nzYgG

For these voters, the question may be: Where was Harris when they needed her? The answer is Harris It was He secured cash for his campaign through a California fundraiser. Harris can only hope that the media will help the American people remember her lack of action. Without this safety net, ruthless displays of apathy will turn voters away.
Additionally, immigration continues to be a thorny issue for Harris. It's a product she made herself, so don't be shocked to see it looming over her own campaign. Still, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) letter sent In late September, Republican Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez told ICE that as of July 21, there were 662,566 undocumented immigrants with criminal records on ICE's national records, and 42 convicted felons. It said 5,431 people were not in custody. This list includes 13,099 criminally convicted murderers, 2,521 kidnappers, 9,461 sex offenders (not including assault or commercial sex acts), 15,811 sexual assault offenders, and sex traffickers. It includes 2,200 people.

ICE's letter is just a glimpse of the people coming across the southern border, and President Trump's campaign statement says foreign countries are opening prisons and psychiatric hospitals and bringing these people into the United States. proves that it is true. Ms. Harris can't escape the fact that Mr. Biden appointed her head of “root causes for immigration,” or that she was dubbed the “border czar.” She is now synonymous with the open borders policy that is wreaking havoc on our country.

And all this comes at the worst possible time for her. Not only is the Nov. 5 election just over a month away, but her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is scheduled to debate Trump's nominee, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, on Tuesday night. is. Waltz has to answer all these questions. I expect Mr. Vance to bring up the longshore worker strike, the disastrous Biden-Harris response to Hurricane Helen, and Harris' open borders policy.

In the past, vice presidential debates have had little impact on the presidential election, but this year may be different. The two assassination attempts that claimed President Trump's life have given new meaning to the vice president's duties should something happen to the president. Vance and Waltz aren't just supporting characters interviewing Americans. They are trying to prove that if something happens to Trump or Harris, they are more than capable of governing the country. (Luke: Democrats' “new masculinity” will continue to alienate key voters)
Harris can't afford to let this argument go badly for Walz. Similarly, it would be a disaster if the longshore workers' strike collapsed, the victims of Hurricane Helen spoke out against the hurricane, and the impact of illegal immigration continued to be an issue. Her campaign needs a calm October, but she appears to be riding high on the apocalypse.
