In the final stretch before Election Day, Kamala Harris is facing a steep decline in support from crucial Democratic voting blocs, particularly Latino and Black voters. A new poll reveals that Harris is losing Latino voters to Trump by double digits, while support from Black voters has plummeted to 72%, a sharp drop from the 92% backing Clinton received in 2016. This shift has sparked serious concerns within the Democratic Party, and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell points to economic dissatisfaction as the main driver.
The old Democratic strategy of painting Trump as racist is crumbling, and for good reason—many Latino and Black voters now see Trump’s policies as better for their financial well-being. Terrell, a former Democrat who switched to supporting Trump in 2020, emphasized that Trump’s appeal lies in his economic track record, not identity politics. He argues that Democrats have failed these communities economically, and voters are waking up to the fact.
What’s even more telling is how Democratic candidates in competitive races are now trying to align themselves with Trump’s policies. In their ads, they’re touting Trump-era successes like protecting fracking, negotiating better trade deals, and forcing drug companies to show their prices. Yes, you heard that right—Democrats are borrowing Trump’s policies to win votes. They’ve gone from demonizing Trump to trying to bask in the success of his policies.
This scrambling from the Democrats is a glaring admission that Trump’s policies work. Despite all the hysteria about Trump being a “threat to democracy” and “dangerous,” Democrats are now trying to claim credit for things Trump did, all while distancing themselves from Harris and Biden. It’s almost comical to watch, but it also signals a major shift in the electorate. The old political playbook is falling apart, and Trump’s appeal, particularly to working-class minorities, is stronger than ever.
Harris, meanwhile, seems oblivious to why her support is crumbling. Her policies and messaging simply aren’t addressing the real concerns of Black and Latino voters, especially on economic issues. As Election Day nears, the Democrats are in full panic mode, and it’s clear why: Trump’s message is resonating with the very voters Harris was counting on. The race is heating up, and Harris might not have enough time to recover from this nosedive.
