Veteran lefty political analyst Van Jones said he is “nervous” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances at the polls Tuesday — after her campaign focused on out-of-touch celebrity endorsements.
NEW YORK POST -- Jones, a former special adviser to President Barack Obama, said Harris’ “star-studded” campaign events in the days leading up to the election felt eerily similar to the final days of Hillary Clinton’s failed White House bid in 2016.
The political analyst admitted he was skeptical that her final swing-state push, which has featured celebs like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey, will actually convince working-class people to vote blue.
“The other thing that makes me nervous, in 2016, we had a big star-studded event right on the edge of the election, and we lost the state,” Jones said on CNN Monday.
“I’m just nervous, nervous,” he said.
Jones also fretted about how Harris will perform among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, particularly in Philadelphia where he said President Biden claimed 70% of the pivotal Jewish vote in 2020.
“Some polls show Kamala at 50-50,” he said. “That is 70,000 votes we bled away, that is the margin for victory,” Jones said.
