Kaylee McGhee White questioned why Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is only “just now” realizing Vice President Kamala Harris could lose the 2024 election, citing recent events in the political race.
Slotkin had informed her donors last week that internal polling for her Senate campaign indicates that Harris is “underwater” in Michigan, a state that former President Donald Trump is seeking to win again after losing it to President Joe Biden in 2020. White, the Restoring America editor for the Washington Examiner, stated she has argued “for weeks” Harris would not be able to win Michigan, citing how the Teamsters union did not offer an endorsement to her.
“And they did so because if you looked at the state-by-state breakdown, it’s more than 60% of Michigan Teamsters union members said that they backed Trump over Kamala Harris,” White, a Michigan native, said on Fox News’s Fox and Friends First. “Listen, you do not win the state of Michigan when you are this underwater with white, working-class men, and that is the demographic that she is struggling with the most. And apparently, the White Dudes for Kamala events just aren’t cutting it.”
White then predicted that should Harris lose Michigan, she would also lose Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, two other swing states, in the Electoral College.
The topic of the vice presidential debate was also addressed, with White predicting it will be a pivotal moment for voters in the 2024 election. She cited how Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) provides a better path for the country in a post-Trump era and that voters do not see either Harris or her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), as “the next great Democratic leader.”

The vice presidential debate is scheduled to be held on Tuesday evening, and CBS News will not feature any fact-checking on either candidate. The 90-minute debate will begin at 9 p.m. ET.
Regarding another presidential debate, Trump has shut down the possibility after debating Harris earlier this month. The vice president is attempting to goad Trump into another debate with a few taunts on the campaign trail, and she has already agreed to an invitation from CNN for a debate on Oct. 23.
