Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are locked in what promises to be a tight presidential race, with the economy, as usual, taking center stage. In recent speeches, Trump outlined his economic plans, while Harris is set to reveal her own agenda, including a proposed federal ban on price gouging of food and groceries, as well as measures to lower prescription drug costs.
Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey explains why the Harris-Walz campaign has surged ahead of Trump-Vance and predicts that, much like in 2020, Trump will once again lose both the popular and Electoral College vote.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:
Remember, she just got in the presidential election. She’s not going to fully adopt the Biden-era talking points or Biden’s policy agenda. She has her own. It takes time. It takes back and forth. It takes consultation, thoughtfulness. It takes more than a slogan. And the fact she doesn’t have a theme on the website doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a theme that is forthcoming. All of these variables will be on the website very soon, but remember, she just got in the game.
The fact that Donald Trump is losing in the polls and losing so decisively in polling data is indicative of America not wanting him nor JD Vance, nor this MAGA ideology.
You see, without Kamala Harris even creating policy points for the website or developing a theme for the campaign, everybody already knows the theme. The theme is contrary to the theme of Trump. That is the thing that has emerged. And she’s out raising money, just like she is supposed to do. Her vice presidential running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, is doing the same thing.
So they’re now outpacing the Trump campaign. They’re out-fundraising the Trump campaign. They’re out-polling the Trump campaign without having all of the campaign elements that any other campaign would have in a presidential contest at this point, because she just got in the presidential contest.

Star Parker: Harris’ record of failure and deviseviness makes her unfit for presidency.
Matthew Continetti: JD Vance will take MAGA into 2028 and beyond.
David Pakman: Tim Walz excelled as a governor, will excel further as vice president.
