CNN anchor Jake Tapper very likely shocked his audience when he said that Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, needs to do more interviews and then said that he believes former President Donald Trump “has the edge” on her.

“Are you surprised that she’s not doing like five events a day?” the anchor said to Democratic strategist and CNN political commentator Karen Finney on his show Thursday. “I mean, there’s only 26 days, barnstorming every battleground state, three or four events a day.”

“Forget the interview thing, okay? I realize I’m biased as a reporter. I want interviews,” he said.

“More local news, though,” former White House communications director for Trump, Michael Dubke, said.

“But the local news interviews, town halls, it just doesn’t feel like October with the schedules I’m looking at for both of them,” the anchor hit back. “But I kind of think [Trump] has the edge right now.”

“Well, I don’t know if I agree with that,” Finney said.

“Not the edge thing, but what about, like, how active — what about how active the campaign is?” the anchor said.

“I think they’re being very active. And look, she also has her day job. We do have — we did just have a tremendous storm come through Florida. She was here in Washington to help deal with that to some degree, but I think you’re going to see that activity kick up over the next several weeks, as it should, by the way,” Finney responded.

And what may be worse for the vice president is that she is not connecting with black male voters, polls have indicated.

That is the reason she asked former President Obama to speak to them, but that became its own disaster.

Former President Barack Obama appeared to be critical of black men who have refused to support Vice President Kamala Harris while going so far as to suggest that sexism might be a factor.

Hours before his first campaign rally for the Democratic nominee, Obama made an unplanned visit to a Harris campaign field office in Pittsburgh. There, he stated his intention to “speak some truths” and specifically address Black men, delivering his most direct comments yet regarding their reluctance to support Harris to date, the Washington Post reported.

“My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said, adding that it “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

Obama questioned why voters, especially Black voters, remain undecided about supporting Harris or the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, the Post noted further.

“On the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences,” Obama said, recounting a list of Harris’s flip-flop policy proposals. In Trump, he falsely claimed, “you have someone who has consistently shown disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person … And you are thinking about sitting out?”

The former president then discussed what he believed was causing black men’s lukewarm support for Harris, suggesting that some were uncomfortable with the idea of electing the first female president, the Post noted.

“And you’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

Obama’s remarks marked a historic moment: the United States’ first Black president encouraging fellow Black men to support Harris, who has the potential to become the first woman of color to hold the White House. Harris herself is both black and Indian-American.
