Forget goblins, ghosts or ghosts: if you work for the campaign of Vice President Kamala HarrisThe scariest sight in the run-up to Halloween was her most prominent surrogates taking the mic. As precious seconds ticked down the clock, the final week of campaigning was marred by mistakes, missteps and meltdowns — all from people who were supposed to be helping the Democratic effort.

Here are three examples.

First, when Harris delivered her closing pitch, focusing on unity, President Biden described half the country as waste. You can’t make it right. Holed up in the White House, steps away from Harris’ highly choreographed speech on the Ellipse, Biden was — inexplicably — on a public Zoom call when he spoke the comment who took over the political debate: “The only trash I see floating around there are his (Trump) supporters.”

THE ‘WASTE’ CAMPAIGN: WHY ERRORS AND DISTRACTIONS CAN TIP THE OUTCOME

Why an 81-year-old man who had been removed from the race due to widespread concerns about his age and ability spoke at the same time as the person who promised to replace him remains a mystery. By the end of the week, the White House had changed the rules official transcription to quell the firestorm, but the damage had already been done.

The incident occurred days after an Axios report headlined “Harris stiff-arms Biden” detailed Biden’s failed attempts to campaign for his second-in-command. The Harris campaign’s response was “we will contact you,” according to the report. It represents half of a government with good approval in the 1930s and it is not difficult to see why.

Biden’s presence undermines Harris’s slogan of a “new way forward,” a message further clouded later in the week by the surrogate’s second failure: former President Bill Clinton telling rallygoers in Michigan that the economy was better under Trump.

It is said that there is a ‘gaffe’ when a politician tells the truth, and to be fair, Clinton’s argument is supported by polls. Seven in ten voters view the economy negatively, according to a Fox News poll. It is also by far the most important issue, and one where Trump has a clear eight-point lead over Harris. Still, it’s not a helpful comment for a candidate trying to connect on fundamental issues.

MARK CUBAN TRYS TO ‘CLEAR UP’ AFTER COMMENTS ON ‘THE VIEW’ WIDELY SEEN AS INSULT TO PRO-TRUMP WOMEN

It wasn’t the 42nd president’s first mistake. Earlier this month he appeared to criticize the lack of security at the southern border, creating another viral moment and political headache for the Harris campaign. A once-in-a-generation political talent, the 78-year-old Clinton is a shell of his former self. Eight years ago, while campaigning for his wife, it was clear he had lost a few miles per hour on his fastball. These days he can barely get the ball across the plate.

Bill Clinton campaigns for Harris-Walz

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton speaks during a Get-Out-The-Vote rally for Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on the first day of early voting in North Carolina in Durham, North Carolina, October 17, 2024.

Finally, and not to be outdone, was Mark Cuban, the billionaire Harris backer, who accused Trump of not surrounding himself with “strong, intelligent women.” The backlash was swift and fierce, and Cuban was forced to apologize in a social media post early Friday morning.

Like Clinton, it wasn’t the first time Cuban interfered with the campaign message. He had (correctly) described a proposed Biden-Harris tax scheme on unrealized capital gains as “an economy killer,” saying he went “ballistic” when he heard about it.

Cuban’s presence on the trail is intended to reassure voters that Harris is not the leader Wild-eyed California liberal her opponents portray her as. Why would one of America’s most recognizable and successful entrepreneurs sign up for a campaign that promotes socialist redistributive policies that demonize success? Instead, Cuban became the story and burned valuable time as the race entered its final weekend.

When she became her party’s nominee, Kamala Harris faced the unenviable task of introducing herself to voters, presenting herself as a change agent, breaking away from an unpopular incumbent and going toe-to-toe. with one of the most dynamic political figures of modern times – all in the space of three months. It would never be easy, even if everything went well.

If Harris falls short next week, there will be no shortage of finger-pointing and blame. The mistakes of her ‘supporters’ will be high on that list.
