There’s little time left in the presidential race. Harris has a card up her sleeve.
As a Clinton advisor just leaked the secret strategy of Kamala Harris.
Democrats Seek to Win Back Rural Voters Amid Polling Challenges
On a recent episode of Fox News, Doug Schoen, a former pollster for President Bill Clinton, discussed the ongoing efforts of the Democratic Party to regain the support of rural American voters, particularly in the wake of significant losses to former President Donald Trump. Schoen’s insights come as polls indicate that Vice President Kamala Harris may be struggling with key Democratic demographics, including Hispanic and black voters.
During his appearance on Your World with Neil Cavuto, Schoen emphasized the importance of outreach to both urban and rural constituencies. He noted the challenges Democrats face in galvanizing support, particularly among African American males. “Well I think it makes sense. Look, the problem the Democrats have is not only turn out in the inner-city with African Americans, particularly African American males, but in rural areas,” he stated.
Schoen referenced a comment from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who spoke about the historical support rural America has provided to the Democratic Party. He pointed out that this relationship has been strained since Clinton’s presidency, in which Schoen played a significant role.
“So Bill Clinton is probably the preeminent Democrat in terms of reaching people in small towns, rural America, and they need that as well as Barack Obama,” Schoen added. He further remarked, “Neil, in a race this close the Democrats need everything they can. I think the dirty little secret is the polls are trending ever so slightly, but clearly, to Donald Trump.”
The urgency of the situation was highlighted by former President Barack Obama during a rally in Pennsylvania on October 10, where he addressed the need to engage black male voters. Although Harris enjoys a majority of support from black voters, recent data reveals that Trump’s support among black men has risen to 16%. An NAACP poll conducted on September 13 found that over a quarter of young black men surveyed indicated they would prefer Trump over Harris in the upcoming election.
The Democratic Party is working overtime to reconnect with key voter blocs they have historically forgotten about. They recognize that a failure to make inroads with rural voters will be devastating for their odds of winning any key races this November.
Kamala Harris Trying To Connect With Average Americans And Failing
Over the past several weeks, Kamala Harris has shifted her strategy and potentially to her detriment. She was largely staying silent and making very few substantial appearances with the press early on. Now that’s all out the window with the clock ticking down on her campaign.
She and her running mate Tim Walz have set up camera opportunities to make it seem like they are normal, average Americans who anyone can connect with. This is why Tim Walz recently tried to sell himself as a gun-totin’ hunter like so many Americans in swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
Instead, he just made a joke out of himself because he struggled to load the firearm that he claimed to be his and that he claimed to be experienced with. This just made him lose respect from any hunters or gun-owners who he was originally trying to court for the Harris campaign.
Tim Walz previously claimed he kept a shotgun in his car so he could hunt pheasants after football practice.

Kamala Harris has the same issue. She had a sit-down with Stephen Colbert on his show and sipped on a beer and it looked so unnatural it was like she never drank a sip of beer in her life.
Now there’s reports that she’s seeking an interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast, but that seems like it would be a disaster for her. If her campaign advisors were wise, they’d tell her to stop shooting herself in the foot with all these strange attempts to look “normal.”
