Harris and Trump brace for final sprint in 'snap election'
(Politico) At a moment when presidential campaigns traditionally formulate their closing arguments, Kamala Harris is still making her introductions.
The vice president has flipped the enthusiasm gap, the money gap and the polling gap in her favor in the six weeks since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. But the race between Harris and Donald Trump remains not only tight nationally, but in a broader range of states than before.
The resulting two-month sprint to come is what Donna Brazile, the Harris confidante who managed Al Gore’s 2000 campaign, described as America’s first “snap election.” The challenge Harris’ campaign is now confronting is how to extend its late-summer surge through the fall.

Polls do show all the swing states within the margin of error. But the momentum, for now, appears to be with Harris. The clearest evidence of that was a Gallup poll last week that showed Democrats with a 14-point edge on which party’s voters were more enthusiastic about voting — a major shift from the organization’s March survey showing Republicans with a 4-point advantage in what was then a contest between two unpopular candidates in Biden and Trump.

While pretending she's losing.
She should be closing with her messaging but is still doing introductions.
What the hell does that even mean?
She's ahead in the polls. She's polling well in swing states. She's getting lots of contributions. She's ahead in enthusiastic supporters.
But she should be making closing arguments??????? 
There's way too much money tied up in it. Thanks, Citizens United.
