For the first time, RCP betting odds are now favoring Kamela Harris to win the Presidency. In addition, she has taken the lead in the critical battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin, is ahead nationally, and is viewed more favorably than Donald Trump. How do Republican supporters of Donald Trump account for this? What will they do about it? Does Tim Walz guarantee the Democrats victory in the Midwest, and, hence, in the nation as a whole?

It's spelled Kamala.

RCP has the odds currently at 48% Trump, 51% Harris. Basically, they're saying what everyone else is saying: "toss-up."

He does not. Nobody is voting based on the selection of Tim Walz.

I don't believe that Walz is particularly helping Harris, though I do believe that Vance is probably hurting Trump.

The trendy thing to do now if you don't like her is to mis-pronounce her name, like "Carmella" "Caramello, harry ass", etc.

That's always been the trendy thing - we all have a ten-year-old boy inside of us - but in this case I think OP just didn't know how to spell her name.
