A presidential candidate knows they’re in deep, deep trouble when Democratic Senate nominees in key swing-states start to put a whole lot of distance between themselves and said candidate. Especially when those same nominees begin to toss some praise and respect on former President Donald Trump as a means of protecting their own campaigns. It’s a sign the end is nigh, a warning to abandon all hope ye who enter here.
In the words of Gen Z, Kamala Harris is cooked. Like a Thanksgiving turkey.

A review of major TV ads put up by the campaigns of Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) all portray the former president in a favorable, or at least neutral, light as they signal an openness to work with Trump if he wins in November. The about-face is especially notable for Slotkin and Baldwin because they have been at the forefront of condemning Trump and praising his various criminal prosecutions since he was charged. Today, however, both are backing down from stringently progressive positions on electric vehicle mandates, global trade, and the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs.
“Casey Supports Trump’s Trade Order” blares one headline from the Pennsylvania Democrat’s latest ad, a reminder of how vulnerable the three-term incumbent has become this election cycle. Polls show a neck-and-neck race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris who herself has transparently backtracked on a promise to end the Senate filibuster to pass the Green New Deal; today she favors domestic energy production and fracking, both extremely popular among Pennsylvania voters. The Keystone State’s other senator, John Fetterman (D-PA), has caused fellow Democrats heartburn by publicly predicting that Trump will carry the must-win state.
Let’s mosey on over to Michigan where we’ll find Rep. Slotkin in a heated back-and-forth with Republican Congressman Mike Rogers. Slotkin has spent significant time trying to win over progressive voters concerning the benefits of electric vehicle mandates. However, she’s now airing political ads on television that say she’ll no longer be supporting such mandates. Her flip-flop is probably due to all of the unrest bubbling up to the surface from union auto workers who are scared that their industry will bring in automation and destroy tons of jobs during the transition.
Former President Donald Trump heavily courted auto workers despite the industry’s union endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, a play which appears to be paying off; in Pennsylvania, he is tied or slightly ahead of Harris in recent polling. Sen. Baldwin is running for her third six-year term on a platform that welcomes bipartisan collaborations with Trump if he is elected. In a recent ad, her campaign spotlights white, male manufacturing employees and business owners who complain that foreign players like China have been “lowballing their prices” at the expense of American industry — a claim very familiar to anyone who has listened to President Trump during a visit to Michigan. “We can’t let China steal American jobs,” Sen. Baldwin says in the ad before one of the men declares she “got President Trump to sign her made-in-America bill.”
Let’s check in on Democrat Senate candidates in the blue wall states:

All together, the three left-wing candidates are revealing the current state of the Democratic Party in critical battleground states, and it’s not looking good for them. It seems our culture is finally experiencing a rebound away from radical liberalism, slowly shifting back to center-right. Let’s hope it continues.
