Fox News host Jesse Watters threw his fist in the air as a former Democratic campaign operative dropped a political prediction about former Vice President Kamala Harris.
During an appearance on āJesse Watters Primetime,ā former Democratic campaign operative Evan Barker made a prediction that Harris will be the 2028 Democratic presidential nomineeāno matter what. The prediction came during a discussion about Harrisā political ambitions and the state of the Democratic Party leadership.
āI think that thereās a segment of Democrats right now that are still behind Kamala, because I think Democrats have this tendency to go along with whose turn is it next, right? They donāt actually want the Democratic voters to pick their own candidates, as evidenced with Bernie in 2016 and 2020, and then again in 2024, when she was handed the candidacy on a silver platter,ā Barker told Watters. āSo I think what will happen, and Iām making this prediction now, is that regardless if Kamala decides to run for governor or if she decides to run for president, she is going to run, and she will end up becoming the Democratic nominee for the president.ā

Barker didnāt stop there and said that the machineās already moving with donors, the super PACs, the consultantsātheyāre all lining up behind Kamala.
āThe way that itās going to go down is the machine is just going to rally behind her. Thatās what they always do,ā Barker told Watters. āEven if you have another really good kid on stage, theyāre still going to be all of the donors and the Democratic super PACs behind her because they really do have this belief that it should just go to her because itās because she has a mandate to run.ā
Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett posted on X that the 2024 election proved why Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) matters, saying that Harris was unfairly dismissed due to her race and gender while voters gave a pass to an unqualified opponent who lied about his plans. Barker also took a jab at Crockett.
āI have to say it is so hilarious to me that Jasmine Crockett is saying that DEI is the reason, or sorry, that Jasmine Crockett is saying that the 2024 election is the reason that we need to support DEI when it was literally the reason that the Democratic Party lost the 2024 election,ā Barker said.
Barker said that Democrats who align with DEI principles might have contributed to the partyās setbacks in recent elections.
āYou know, people may not be saying this publicly, or at least they werenāt back in August or July when the whole drama behind Biden and the debate was going down. But behind the scenes, I had insiders calling me, panicking, freaking out, because they knew that Biden was pushed into supporting her because of DEI, and they felt like it was the wrong move,ā Barker added.
Former President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in July after a disastrous debate performance in June where he appeared confused and struggled to answer questions. Facing mounting pressure from within his own party, Biden said he was stepping aside for the good of the country and endorsed Harris as his replacement.
