A top aide to Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign recently revealed that internal polls never actually saw her defeating President-elect Donald Trump, but apparently this was not conveyed to those collecting high-dollar donations for her bid.
“That’s not what we were told,” DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li shared with Fox News Digital.
“We were told definitely that she had a shot at winning – it wasn’t even a shot. I was even told that Pennsylvania was looking good, that we would win 3-4 swing states.”

But Harris senior adviser David Plouffe presented a much different analysis of the vice president’s chances at that point in time on “Pod Save America,” a show hosted by staffers of former President Barack Obama.
“We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day,” he told the hosts in the episode which aired on Tuesday.

“I think it surprised people because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw.”
Plouffe, along with other top Harris aides Jen O’Malley Dillon, Stephanie Cutter and Quentin Fulks, joined the podcast to share why they believed they lost the election.
While the top advisers on the campaign were apparently aware of Harris’ polling deficit, this information was seemingly obscured to other relevant parties, including those soliciting capital from donors, such as Li.
