Trump claims to be ignored as backlash mounts

In a rare move seven days before Election Day, Harris’ campaign chairman released the video in an apparent attempt to calm nerves in the Democratic base.

Jen O’Malley Dillon told supporters: “We’re on track to win the election by a very close margin,” “we feel really good about what we’re seeing,” but “we still have a lot of work to do.”

The video (below) went viral with almost 400,000 views on social media platform X in just 90 minutes.

“I know you’re worried,” says O’Malley Dillon, “I know you’re worried because you know what the stakes are, and it’s okay to be worried, but what we can do for you is help you channel that anxiety on helping us in this campaign.” And she asked supporters to “go knocking on doors.”

O’Malley Dillon, who also served as President Joe Biden’s 2020 and 2024 campaign manager and as his White House deputy chief of staff, recorded a three-and-a-half-minute “campaign update” to “tell you why you don’t need feel anxious and you can feel good,” insisting that “we have a few ways to go to get 270 electoral votes.”

Stating that it is “really a margin for error,” O’Malley Dillon says that “every single state, blue wall, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Sun Belt, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina…are in the game. , and in each of those states every week we’re seeing and tracking our numbers, we’re tracking the work that’s going on, and we’re seeing a growing enthusiasm, and we’re very excited about that.”

And she insists: “We feel very good about what we see there.”

She says Republicans, who historically have not taken advantage of early voting, but this year, at the behest of the RNC and occasionally Donald Trump, are simply “changing the way they vote.”

“We see Republicans voting early, but these are Republicans who will vote no matter what.”

Meanwhile, Democrats are “voting at the levels we need to win,” she adds, and says Democratic primary voters “are our lower propensity voters,” meaning voters who don’t tend to vote every election.

She says there are still undecided voters, but they’re leaning more toward Harris than Trump, which recent news has confirmed.

Last week Monmouth University Survey reported that the number of those who are undecided but are “motivated…only 1%”.

Newsweek reports that “an Emerson College poll conducted between October 14 and 16 shows that among undecided voters who chose who they would have voted for in the past week or month, 60 percent preferred the Democratic vice president, while 36 percent preferred the former Republican president. Donald Trump”.

She urged supporters of Harris and Walz to go talk to those who are undecided.

“They need people at their door, they need to call, they need to see us wherever they are in whatever part of their life, so we leave no stone unturned.”

“Maybe you can call,” she asked, “or text from home, or maybe you can do something only you can do, which is connect with the people in your life. People you see every day. Maybe you work with them, maybe there are people in your life that you don’t always want to talk about politics because I know it’s hard to talk about politics, but we need you to have those conversations. And if you even have one of those tough conversations, it’s going to make a difference in this race.”

The Daily Beast O’Malley Dillon told reporters Tuesday morning, “We’re confident we’re going to win.”

“And it’s not because we’re running away with him. This is because we are confident that we are on track to win a very close election,” she said.

“She added that the Harris campaign had seen a ‘surge in support’ after a Trump rally on Sunday, where the comedian’s offensive joke about Puerto Rico offended many Latinos.”

This race is going to be extremely tight and we need to keep fighting every day from now until Election Day on November 5th.
