Not only did Donald Trump have an emotional outburst while speaking with a black journalist, but his racist attacks on Vice President Harris helped raise $23 million for the Democratic Party.
Posted by Democratic pollster and strategist Matt McDermott“The only good thing about Trump’s racist rant has been the response from grassroots donors. As of now, $23,961,076 has been raised through ActBlue today, making it the largest fundraising day in the past week. Donations began to surge immediately after Trump’s NABJ interview.”
For those of you who don’t know, Donald Trump claimed Kamala Harris isn’t really black, and he went on a 34-minute rant in which he attacked three black female journalists who were interviewing him.
Trump is the best fundraising and get-out-the-vote tool the Democratic Party has. Rather than redefining the election to run, Donald Trump has dug the hole deeper.
Trump will continue his racist attacks because that is all he is. Donald Trump has no policies to campaign on and no vision for the future.
All the former president has is hatred, but the more he spreads it, the more determined Democrats are to defeat him. This hasn’t gone the way Trump expected. This isn’t 2008 or 2016 anymore, and the types of smears Trump is using may work with his own supporters, but they don’t seem to be mobilizing the country as a whole.
