'Could not outrun the Biden economy': CNN panel lays blame for Harris' bad night
A CNN roundtable on Tuesday debated the apparent strong performance of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, following his apparent locking down of North Carolina — and the subject turned to how voters perceive the economy.
"Generally speaking, he is overperforming with what he did in 2020 and she is underperforming what Joe Biden did in 2020. At this point, it's a narrow defeat for Harris," said Chris Wallace.
"The other thing about North Carolina, you do have kind of a sense of the country in the state of North Carolina, in that, there are growing minority populations, and there is a growing suburban, maybe more moderate population in and around the big cities, so that is why the Harris campaign thought with the dynamics of the country right now that she would have a better shot," said Dana Bash.
"But look, the headwinds of the economy, the inflation that people are feeling, the difficulty in their everyday lives."
"She could not outrun the Biden economy," agreed Audie Cornish.
