Mark Halperin continuously commented on subjects that pointed to a decisive defeat for Kamala Harris, which proved to be true. As a seasoned presidential election veteran with connections to both parties, Halperin consistently cautioned voters about Kamala’s rapid decline and the reckless decisions her campaign made, which ultimately led to her humiliating election defeat.
Harris lost all seven battleground states to Trump, despite the tight margins in those states throughout the race, according to the RealClearPolling averages. Halperin, appearing on Newsmax and his own 2WAY platform, accurately analyzed that securing these crucial states and the presidency would be challenging for Harris, based on data, his sources, and his experience covering campaigns.
Halperin pointed out earlier that Harris was in terrible shape in the seven swing states:
“I just saw some new private polling today that’s very robust … She’s in a lot of trouble … The conversation I’m having with Trump people and Democrats with data are extremely bullish on Trump’s chances in the last 48 hours.”
“I’m not saying she’ll lose all six, but she’s in danger. The only one that the Democrats say she’s not in danger of losing is [Nevada] … She could lose any of those six, right? I mean, she could lose all seven but Democrats will tell you they’re worried about those six. They’re less worried about the seventh. I don’t know any Trump person who says they’re worried about losing any of the seven.”
Halperin continued to warn about the state of Harris’ campaign on Oct. 14, pointing to her shifting rhetoric:

When you are in the end, and you’re looking at the polls every day, and the stuff you haven’t been doing that isn’t working, according to your own data, what do you do? You start talking about new stuff to see what sticks to the wall. So she’s now talking about a bunch of stuff related to Trump’s being secretive: no medical records, won’t debate, won’t do ’60 Minutes.’”
“It got a lot of the attention in the press. I will say, having covered winning and losing campaigns … Everybody who’s ever lost in the last three weeks, they start to bring up new stuff. If you go to a Green Bay diner today … ask people there if they’re going to decide who they vote for based on whether Trump will do a ’60 Minutes’ interview or whether he’ll do another debate … These are all signs that they know they have a problem, and I’ll say, if you can find me a single voter who will vote based on this, good luck.”
“There’s qualitative and quantitative data everywhere you look that things have moved in Trump’s direction and that it will be difficult for her to win, but not impossible … The conventional wisdom has been, even though it may be false, that if Donald Trump is tied or within a couple points in the national poll, he’s going to win. Now The New York Times says it’s possible that Kamala Harris could win the electoral college and lose the popular vote. And we’ve talked about Trump over-performing from last time in the big blue states that could make him a bigger popular vote winner, but still lose the electoral college. Possible.”
