David Plouffe: Kamala Could Win All 7 Swing States

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Harris' senior adviser says she could win all 7 swing states

David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday night that the campaign believes it could win all seven swing states.

“It’s very important that we have multiple pathways to 270, and you know, just a couple hours ago, reviewing all the early vote data, what we're projecting for Election Day, how we think undecideds are breaking, we have a credible pathway to all seven states tomorrow night to go into Kamala Harris' column," Plouffe said.

"But we believe they're all going to be close,” he added.

Asked if he believes Harris could win all seven states, he said, “Yes.”

And bear in mind, David Plouffe said this AFTER examining all the "insider information" about early returns, internal polls, etc. He actually knows what he's talking about and has seen the data to back it up. It's not just wishful thinking.

[milestogo]

3. WooHoo!!!

No, I am not drunk.

[msongs]

4. david is not infallible.... nt

[onetexan]

7. nobody is infallible. But i'd trust him more than i trust most other ppl when it comes to successful elections.

[BannonsLiver]

8. Who is infallible? Kind of a high bar.

[ret5hd]

20. spouse says "you're always right!"...

not sure i like the tone though.

[SunSeeker]

34. LOL

Mine tells me the same thing--same tone!

[Mariana]

26. That's probably why he said she "could" win all seven

instead of saying that she "will" win all seven.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. Would not surprise me in the least!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. He doesn't seem like the type of guy who talks out his ass.

[Silent Type]

9. Hope he's right. For those of us who have voted, the country's fate is in the hands of those who wake up

in the morning and go stand in line, no matter how long.

[tman]

10. Not a question he can answer any other way. Hopefully he's right.

[The Roux Comes First]

11. I Love the Optimism, Far Preferable to What the Fake News Folks Are Doing to Preserve the Horse-race

But you never want to get too far out over your skis until the tape is in sight.

And, alas, that is likely weeks, lawsuits, and possibly violent riots away.

[Glamrock]

12. It's gonna be a blowout!

The polling companies haven’t been accurate for more than a decade. There’s no way my American sisters ain’t standing up for themselves.

[jcgoldie]

13. Plouffe is not a bullshitter

If you listen to the right sources you hear the story.

[WarGamer]

14. THIS David Plouffe?

A lot of people were wrong about the 2016 election, but David Plouffe face-planted harder than most.

An instrumental adviser to Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns, Plouffe calmed worried liberals — whom he sometimes jokingly called “bedwetters” — throughout the fall of that year with his repeated assurances that Hillary Clinton had a “100 percent chance” to win. The day before the election, he predicted a “worst-case” scenario for Clinton was ending up with 324 electoral votes. She got 232. And he dismissed concerns about tightening races in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan: Maybe Clinton would win by just 3 to 5 points, Plouffe assured, instead of 6 to 8.

18. Yikes

There was also a guy who said he'd eat a bug on live TV if Hillary lost, and he did.

[Rstrstx]

21. I think that was Sam Wang

Haven’t heard anything out of him lately.

[Deminpenn]

28. A bit unfair. No one foresaw people who were new and sporadic voters coming out

of the woodwork to vote for Trump.

30+ years of RW attacks on the Clintons took their toll. Americans were already polarized about her as a candidate. Comey's late presser just added another log to the fire. Further she did not/does not have the same political skills as her husband. And she ran a bad campaign, not just in Pennsylvania but all the upper midwest. She focused on the solid blue areas and depended on media/TV ads for the other areas of the states.

I know in PA, had she gotten the same number of votes as Josh Shapiro, who was running for Atty Genl then, in just 10 counties, she'd have won.

36. David Plouffe was not a part of Hillary's campaign

So he didn't have too much inside info. He was an armchair analyst like David Axelrod is now. Plouffe is a part of Harris' campaign so he KNOWS shit he wasn't privvy to in 2016.

[helpisontheway]

37. I remember but he was not working for Hillary. He did not know the inside information.

However, his appearance did not calm me last night. The only thing that could have calmed me last night is if he said she would definitely win.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

15. Isn't Harris's campaign manager the who correctly went after Georgia in 2020

I vaguely recall her talking about how she saw the polling was off in Florida and Iowa and that Biden should go after Georgia instead?

[MaryMagdaline]

22. Interesting!

[Deminpenn]

29. Quentin Foulks, her deputy campaign manager,

got Warnock elected in GA, 4 times (2 general, 2 runoffs).

[FBaggins]

32. Well... not really

Trump got Warnock elected

[helpisontheway]

38. Well then Trump could get Kamala elected.nt

[Blue_Roses]

16. He was

President Obama's campaign manager both times and he did a great job. Very smart guy who knows his stuff!

[jcgoldie]

17. not an advisor

he was obamas campaign manager

[Blue_Roses]

19. I stand corrected

I knew he had a big spot on his campaign. I just couldn't remember. But, I do remember an interview he and David Axelrod did after the election. It might have been 60 minutes.

[jcgoldie]

23. I just remember that group

Plouffe Axelrod Gibbs et al the young guns... I mean democrats had always been the side with the real message but the terrible organization the lesser ground game etc... those guys flipped the script. Now we are the better organized side. It didn't hurt they had the best fucking candidate in 100 years but they changed the way we do it.

[Blue_Roses]

25. Exactly and well said!!

Do you remember Valerie Jarrett?

[nilram]

24. Nice. I hope you're not just choppin broccoli.

[DSandra]

27. This is the scenario that could banish Trump for good

The rats will turn on Trump and flee the sinking ship, and Trumpism will be dead...

[gixxerlee]

30. Finger's crossed.

And Iowa too! If that pollster is correct.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. This hermit will still brave civilization to vote all blue.

[krawhitham]

33. If the polls are off the same as 2022 She wins all 7, if they are off same as 2020 he wins all 7

[Self Esteem]

35. Of course he's going to say they can win all seven.

Does anyone think he'd say, "no" to that question?

I think the Harris team is confident they have the 270 needed to win. Not sure how confident they are they'll win all the swing states, though.

[Aepps22]

39. GOTV

If you can help to get our voters to the polls today please do everything that you can.

[PortTack]

40. This guy knows his stuff and doesn't just throw out comments! Yeah

[Renew Deal]

41. He was a little off

[In It to Win It]

42. just a smidget lol

[LeftInTX]

43. This did not age well

[Tbone421]

44. I am so pissed at this guy right now. Maybe him most of all.
