CEO of Job Creators Network Alfredo Ortiz argues Kamala Harris is 'out of touch' with what is causing high costs under the Biden administration and calls out her price-fixing plan.

Democrats will meet in Chicago Monday to kick off their convention and nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as their 2024 Ticket.

The last time the Democrats met in Chicago, they also nominated a sitting vice president (after their eligible-for-reelection President Lyndon Johnson dropped out of the race). That was 1968. The vice president was Hubert Humphrey…the convention underscored the party divisions over Vietnam…and protests in Chicago devolved into riots and wound up only underscoring party divisions and essentially guaranteed a Republican victory that year. Arguably, it also led to the Democratic Party being relegated to minority status for a generation.

Heading into Chicago half a century later, the Democrats this time around appear unified. They seem enthusiastically confident of victory and it is the Republican campaign that appears flummoxed about how to spring back from Biden’s decision to drop out and the Democrats quick pivot to supporting Harris’ candidacy.

But will the Democrats use their convention effectively?

They need to.

Because the media’s optimistic conventional wisdom is looking at reality through blue-tinted glasses. They’re responding to the raucous crowds at Harris-Walz rallies – and have shifted from "Biden sleepwalking to November rout" to "likely blue wave." Some even suggest November will bring Democratic majorities in the House and even the Senate, where the Democrats still face almost impossible odds.

But the polls still show former President Donald Trump’s strength with the national electorate – and leading in enough battleground states to get an Electoral College majority.

Democrats aren’t going to chip away at Donald Trump's support with more negative statements. But they might be able to get folks to decide that, yes, it’s time to for a ‘new generation.’

Last week’s Fox News poll has Trump up one point over Harris 50-49 nationally. Other respected public polls have Trump at 49 or 48. Even if Trump loses the popular vote 52-48, he should still be considered a likely winner. Remember he lost the popular vote by wide margins in both 2016 and 2020, but he won the Electoral College in 2016 and just barely lost it in 2020.
