It appears the Kamala Harris momentum is starting to die.
At a campaign rally to tout her draconian, communist-style economic plan for the United States in Raleigh, North Carolina the vice president drew a crowd of around 250 people, WBTV reported.
“Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a few hundred supporters at a campaign rally in Raleigh Friday afternoon,” the report said.
“Harris’s staff reported that about 250 people were in attendance. The event began around 2:30 p.m. at Wake Tech Community College’s campus,” it said.
Meanwhile former President Donald Trump held a rally in the same state on Wednesday and drew thousands of supporters, WBTV reported.
“Former President Donald Trump addressed thousands of supporters at his rally in Asheville Wednesday afternoon,” the report said.
“One venue worker was overheard saying there were twice as many people in line as the 2,500-seat theater could hold,” it said.
More impressive is the location of the event that the former president had.
“We live in a very liberal city and it’s good to see, finally, people come out and support Trump. It’s amazing to see,” Trump supporter Tim Siryk said to WBTV.
It could be the vice president’s honeymoon phase is finished and people are seeing her for who she really is, as evidenced by her widely panned economic plan that she announced at the sparsely attended rally.

A series of new polls indicate that the ‘surge’ Vice President Kamala Harris received after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid last month is ending.
According to a recent poll by the Napolitan Institute, released on Friday, Trump is once again leading, similar to the lead he held over Biden before the Democrats redirected their support to Harris.
“In the race for the White House, Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris 46% to 45%. When leaners are included, the Napolitan News survey of 3,000 Likely Voters shows Trump ahead 49% to 47%. A week ago, the candidates were tied at 49% among Likely Voters,” the polling organization noted in a report on its findings.
“These numbers suggest that the initial Harris bounce is over. However, the core dynamics of the race remain unchanged. Love him or hate him, voters know what they think of Donald Trump. At this point in time, Kamala Harris remains largely unknown. That means events like the upcoming Democratic convention and presidential debates could have a bigger impact than usual.”
The organization stated that the presidential race remains too close to call at this stage. However, analysts have noted that in the past two elections, Trump has performed significantly better than his polling numbers suggested.
“Trump voters are slightly more likely to vote than Harris supporters. So, the former president does a bit better with a lower turnout. What’s especially amazing about this close race is that it’s quite plausible to envision either party winning a trifecta: control of the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. The most important race to determine Senate control is in Montana. The latest Napolitan News survey there shows Democrat Jon Tester with a narrow lead but the state’s political gravity is likely to boost Republican Tim Sheehy.
A report by Just the News cited the new polling data to explain that voters are “catapulting Trump to lead and ending Harris surge.” The report noted Harris was leading Trump 44% to 43% in the same survey just a week ago, and held a five-point lead at the beginning of the month.
“These numbers suggest that the initial Harris bounce is over,” pollster Scott Rasmussen of the Napolitan Institute told Just the News.
