BREAKING: Speaker Johnson’s GENIUS Plan Leaves Kamala Harris FUMING!
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson just pulled off a move that has Kamala Harris and the Democrats in a panic! In a bold effort to stop a government shutdown and secure our elections, Johnson has pushed forward a brilliant plan that could change the game entirely.
The House Republicans, under Johnson’s leadership, are working on a plan that not only keeps the government running but also tightens election security with the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. But of course, the Democrats aren’t happy, and Kamala Harris is furious!
What’s the Plan?
Here’s what Johnson is doing: He’s combining a bill that requires proof of citizenship for voter registration with a continuing resolution (CR) that will extend federal funding for six months. The CR is necessary to keep the government from shutting down, and the SAVE Act is a key piece in making sure our elections are secure.
The measure passed the House Rules Committee on Monday night with a 9-4 vote, and now it’s headed for the full House for a vote. But Democrats are already scrambling to block it, calling the voter ID requirements “extreme.”
Kamala and Schumer Are Fighting Back
Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are going all out to stop this. Schumer sent a letter to his colleagues, saying, “We will not let poison pills or Republican extremism put funding for critical programs at risk.”
But here’s the thing: Republicans know that a government shutdown just weeks before the election could hurt them, and they’re determined to get this passed. Johnson’s strategy is to force Democrats to choose between keeping the government open and rejecting crucial voter security measures.
Kamala Harris and her allies in Congress are fuming over this. Why? Because they know this plan puts real pressure on the Democrats to act.
Will the Bill Pass?
As of Monday night, five House Republicans have expressed doubts about the bill, so it’s still unclear if it will pass. But Johnson is pushing hard, and he might just have a secret weapon—Democratic defectors.
That’s right! Five House Democrats have broken ranks before to support election security, and Johnson is banking on them to help push this over the finish line.
Kamala Harris’s Polling Numbers Are in Trouble
The timing couldn’t be worse for Kamala. As Speaker Johnson makes his moves, a new poll shows that Harris’s lead over Donald Trump is shrinking fast.
A recent ActiVote survey from late August shows Harris only leading Trump by 1.6 points, with 50.8% to Trump’s 49.2%. And this is within the margin of error, meaning Trump is right on her heels. Just weeks ago, Harris was leading Trump by five points, but that lead has completely collapsed.
ActiVote pollster Victor Allis explained, “Harris’s poll numbers improved for about three weeks after Biden dropped out… but in the past five days, that 5-point lead has been steadily cut to just under 2 percent.”
If this trend keeps up, Harris could be in serious trouble. In fact, Trump is now leading Harris in the Electoral College, according to Nate Silver’s forecast model. Trump’s chances of winning have climbed to 52.4%, marking the first time since August that he’s had the upper hand.
Silver’s analysis pointed out that the Republicans have made gains in nearly every swing state over the past week. Meanwhile, Harris’s numbers are crumbling in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Swing States Are Slipping Away from Kamala
The situation is getting even worse for Harris when you look at the swing states. New polling shows Trump is pulling ahead in places that will decide the 2024 election.
- Pennsylvania: Recent polls from Trafalgar Group and Emerson College show Trump either leading or tied with Harris.
- Michigan: Harris’s lead has shrunk to just 2.4 points, according to FiveThirtyEight’s tracker.
- Minnesota: Harris’s lead has been cut in half since July, going from 10 points to 5 points.
Trump’s momentum is building, and Harris is struggling to hold on. Even polling in Georgia—one of the closest swing states—shows Trump gaining ground.
The Bottom Line
Mike Johnson’s bold move to combine a government funding bill with critical election security measures has the Democrats shaking. Kamala Harris is furious that this is happening just as her polling numbers are collapsing, and the pressure is on.
With Trump gaining in the polls and Republicans fighting to secure our elections, the 2024 race is heating up fast. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning!
