The Unknown Kamala Advantage
Why the uncertainty around Kamala is beating the certainty around Trump
For as much as the media hated Kamala for the 4 years of the Biden Administration, I don’t think the public cared. They didn’t really have an opinion of her.
Unfortunately this poses a big problem for Trump. Everyone knows Trump. Everyone has an opinion. Not a whole lot of persuasion to be done.
Whereas Kamala is more a blank canvas. Her positions on issues are less well known or unknown all together.
This allows her to run more of a hope and change camapaign a la Obama.
Trump isn’t going to change his stripes this late in the game. He was built to beat Biden.
But Kamala’s fresh candidacy is very tough to beat. I think people do the calculus and think “I know I don’t like Trump, maybe Kamala won’t be so bad.”
If you are Trump, how do you counter this?
I don’t think you do. Plow all your money into GOTV in Nevada and Nebraska 2nd like I laid out before. This is a turnout election not a persuasion election.
If it comes down to people comparing the two, it’s President Harris in January 2025.
