‘Not Going To Happen’: Dem Strategist Predicts Harris Won’t Receive ‘Big Bump’ From Debate

Democratic strategist Tim Hogan forecasted on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris will not experience a significant boost in the polls following her debate with former President Donald Trump.

Prominent Democrats suggested that Harris critically damaged Trump’s reelection chances during their Tuesday face-off on ABC News. Hogan, during a 2WAY livestream, said that he does not expect the debate to alter the dynamics of the race, with key battleground states likely remaining in flux.

“I think from some of the national polls that we have seen come out, there looks to be a little bit of some movement, but I don’t think that we’re going to see a big bump. It’s just not going to happen,” Hogan said. “It’s such a small group. Seven tied races or within the margin of error. I think it’s still within the margin. I don’t think anyone’s outside the margin.”

Harris currently leads Trump by 0.2% in the top seven battleground states, according to the RealClearPolling average. The vice president’s national lead rose from 4% to 5% after the debate, according to a Thursday Reuters/Ipsos poll.
