US presidential candidate Kamala Harris is expected to “defy all odds” and stay in the race for the White House despite excoriating criticism from arguably one of Australia’s finest political reporters/analysts.

“You’ve got to admire her spunk and stubbornness to carry on with what is now clearly a thankless and impossible task,” a senior member of the Harris campaign told The Bug. “She’s been rocked to her very core by this scathing assessment and will now be defying all odds if she can go on and beat Donald Trump after this.”

The Harris aide was referring to Sky LNPNews host Gabriella Power, who has used her television spot watched by thousands to slam Vice President Harris for her cringeworthy performance and her “go-to answers” on how she plans to improve the economy.

“What we can do more to invest in the aspirations, the ambitions, and the dreams of the American people while addressing the challenges that they face,” Harris told reporters last weekend, according to the Power report. “What we can do more to invest in the aspirations, the ambitions, and the dreams of the American people while addressing the challenges that they face.”

But it was Power’s sarcastic and mocking putdowns that should have had Harris seriously considering her electoral prospects.

“If you didn’t know … Kamala Harris grew up a middle-class kid,” Ms Power mocked.

That should have been more than enough to see Harris quit the presidential race but Power then added that the Vice President had “failed” to mention that “these challenges have been growing under her watch”.

Surely the knockout blow?

The Harris campaign member added: “Kamala at least is thankful that she debated Donald Trump the other week and not Ms Power, who clearly with her intellect and knowledge and journalistic professionalism would have stripped her bare and left her with no other choice than to abandon her presidential bid there and then.”
