7 people who wrongly predicted Kamala Harris victory
David Rothkopf
David Rothkopf, CEO of The Rothkopf Group, a media company that produces assorted podcasts, predicted that Harris was going to win, claiming that she had “run an exceptional campaign.”
“She has not set a foot wrong since Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election on July 21, from her first efforts to reach out to party leaders in a wave of calls that Sunday afternoon through to her first statement as candidate appearing at the campaign office in Wilmington the next day,” wrote Rothkopf in a Daily Beast column published last Friday.

“Her first public speeches were suffused with a new energy and vision that was desperately needed in American politics, and her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate was inspired.”
Rothkopf also believed that Harris would be propelled to victory by “the anger of women” over the United States Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
“The key point from all of this is that polls are showing Harris up, and the polls are likely undercounting the number of votes she is likely to get. Further, early voting and voter registration data supports this thesis,” he continued.
“Consequently, take the past performance errors of pollsters, the likely skewing of their current models, the fact that most polling, donating, volunteering, registration and early voting trends are in her favor and there can be no other conclusion but that Harris is going to win on Nov. 5 and do so by healthy margins.”
