Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, appeared on The Dinesh D’Souza podcast on Monday to discuss the state of the 2024 presidential race on the eve of Election Day. According to Kassam, the corporate media and political establishment are overlooking Kamala Harris‘s inconsistent and confusing campaign messaging in the closing weeks of the election, which has left many independent and Democratic Party voters unsure of where she actually stands on key issues.
“It comes down to consistency—as a theme, as a topic—and is something you want in a campaign. Unfortunately for [Harris], she’s not even been consistently the Democratic candidate, let alone had a consistent message throughout her very short campaign,” Kassam told D’Souza. He continued: “And I think that is particularly where she is hurting right now. A lot of the people who might even have sensibilities that lean toward her are still not sure if they’ll go out and actually tick the box on the day just because they’re not quite sure which Kamala Harris they might get in the event that she wins.”
The Harris campaign and leading Democrats have swung between attempting to run a positive message campaign to recklessly engaging in hyper-vitriolic attacks on her Republican opponent, President Donald J. Trump in the final few weeks of the 2024 election cycle. “Are they going to get the joyful Kamala? Are they going to get the prosecutor Kamala? Are they going to get the person who calls everybody Nazis, Kamala? Are they getting the black Kamala or the Asian Kamala?” The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief posits that these are the questions likely weighing on voters’ minds.
HARRIS’ EARLY VOTE PROBLEM.
Early vote data across several critical swing states suggests Democratic Party turnout prior to election day has been significantly lower than what was seen during the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Republicans have seen a significant boost in the number of early ballots cast, especially among low-propensity voters.
Kassam goes on to describe Harris’s closing argument as a “concatenation of abortion and hatred… of vitriol towards the other side and playing into just the kind of the base tendencies of her most likely, highest-propensity voters.” These voters, according to Kassam, are predominantly suburban women who have—for the most part—been shielded from the Biden-Harris government’s failures in addressing inflation and the illegal immigration crisis.
THE CONSISTENT TRUMP.
Conversely, Kassam notes that President Trump’s campaign has maintained a consistent message throughout the election cycle. He notes that Trump has been especially consistent “on some of these big topics like trade and tariffs for the last forty years.”
“So America knows who he is, they know what they’re getting,” Kassam contends, adding that the left and establishment Republican attacks on Project 2025 were an attempt to “inject a sense of inconsistency, a sense of this secret plan behind the scenes and Donald Trump isn’t the Donald Trump you’ve known for forty years after all.”
It is Trump’s consistency on major political issues like immigration, trade, and foreign policy that has likely blunted Harris and the Democrats’ attempt to brand him and Republicans as fascists and Nazis.
