Harris: “We Will Win This Election”
Speaking at a campaign trail event this past weekend in San Francisco, California, Vice President Kamala Harris predicted victory in this year’s presidential election over Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“So, I will start, then, with this: We will win this election,” Harris told listeners.
“We will. We will win this election. Yes, we will. We will win this election. And we do not have a day to waste. November 5th is in 86 days. […] But let’s not take anything for granted. I know there’s a lot of enthusiasm out there. And, you know, I’ve never been one to really believe in the polls, whether they’re up or they’re down. What we know is the stakes are so high and we can take nothing for granted in this critical moment. So, we will fuel our campaign, as we have, with enthusiasm and optimism but also with a deep commitment to the hard work it’s going to take.”
That enthusiasm is legitimately surging. New polling data from Monmouth University finds an absolutely monumental jump in enthusiasm from Democrats about this year’s election compared to when the general election was still expected to pit Joe Biden against Trump — again.
In June, 46 percent of Democrats indicated they were enthusiastic about the 2024 race, according to Monmouth. And then, Biden stepped aside from the race at the end of July, endorsing Harris to take his place — and now, this new, August set of numbers finds 85 percent of Democrats enthusiastic for November’s election. It’s higher than the enthusiasm among Republicans, which was at 71 percent in June and now.
Harris is rather consistently hitting the campaign trail, showing up recently in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and beyond, and though she said she’s not paying close heed to the polls, they’re promising. Recent polling from The New York Times and Siena College plus a different set of polling done by the Bullfinch Group found leads for Harris in all three states.

Die in dem Interview geschilderten Motive für ein Engagement in der rechtsradikalen Szene gelten auch für die demokratischen Parteien. Sichtbar wurde das, wenn ich richtig erinnere, an dem abrupten Mitgliederzuwachs der Grünen nach dem Regierungswechsel 2021.
Interessant wären auch Interviews in den Milieus der "etablierten" Parteien. Die Rekrutierungsabläufe sind im Vergleich zur rechtsextremen Szene so unterschiedliche nicht; vermute ich mal.
Und schließlich sind Altparteien auch Jobmaschinen, durch ihren Zugriff auf den öffentlichen Sektor, die Parteistiftungen und durch den eigentlichen Parteiapparat. Für die locker organisierte rechtsextreme Szene gilt das nicht in dem gleichen Maße. Verwunderlich deshalb die Aussagen der Interviewpartnerin.
