'Too confident' MAGA allies plunging into 'politically perilous territory' in final week

Raw Story  

While former President Donald Trump and his allies are exuding confidence at him winning the 2024 presidential election, Semafor's Benjy Sarlin is seeing the potential for significant hubris in the final days of the campaign. Even though polling shows that the race for the White House is a dead heat, Sarlin notes that "maybe too confident" MAGA allies such as X CEO Elon Musk and anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are making brash claims about their plans after a Trump win that could spook undecided voters. "His top allies are increasingly boasting about sweeping new initiatives in politically perilous territory in the election’s final days, even as they have a knife’s-edge race to complete before they have a chance to enact any of them," writes Sarlin. "In each case, Democrats highlighted the remarks to feed existing attacks that a Trump campaign would slash social spending and empower unqualified or extreme loyalists," he writes.
