Trump is freaking out about Kamala Harris’s surging poll numbers: ‘It’s unfair’

A week after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Atlantic published a headline claiming that «Trump is Planning for a Landslide Win.»

Now, a little over a month and one presidential candidate swap later, the 2024 presidential election’s likely results appear a little less obvious.

With the defiant photo of a post-assassination attempt Trump pumping his fist in the rear-view, the former president has become increasingly frustrated by the surging poll numbers enjoyed by his presumed opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, according to five people close to the situation who spoke to The Washington Post.

He reportedly told a supporter he felt it was “unfair” that after he “beat” Joe Biden he had to turn around and run against Harris.

“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her, too,” the former president reportedly said.

While Trump famously has never beaten Biden — a fact the president brought up frequently when he was trying to justify staying in the 2024 race — it wasn't looking good for Democrats in early July.

“At the convention, it was game over, and the Democrats realized that,” Richard Porter of the Republican National Committee in Illinois told the Post. “It felt like it was too good to be true, and it was. It’s amazing how quickly they coalesced behind another candidate.”

Biden would eventually leave the race after facing pressure from the public and from fellow Democratic lawmakers. Without any real second guessing or opposition, Harris stepped into the open spot.

Trump's campaign has been on uneven footing since the RNC. The announcement that Senator JD Vance would run alongside Trump prompted the press to dig up the Hillbilly Elegy-author's previous comments on his running mate.
