Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said during an interview over the weekend that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris has not only peaked but is actually beginning to lose ground among the electorate.
His remarks come after many observers believe she had a poor week doing a series of interviews in which she often struggled for responses while also reaffirming that she aligns 100 percent with President Joe Biden’s policies, which many blame for the poor economy and the global chaos.
“My guess is that we are in the early stages of watching her collapse, and that given the objective larger realities that surround her,” Gingrich said. “I just — my hunch as a historian and occasional novelist is that sometime in the last two weeks, Joe and Jill looked at each other and thought, you know, wouldn’t it be a great legacy if Joe’s the only guy ever to beat Trump?
“And I think the stuff he’s done to undermine her in the last ten days is — is pretty amazing, and I don’t think it’s an accident,” he said, speculating that Biden is purposely trying to sabotage her candidacy after being forced to drop his reelection bid.

Other pundits are starting to believe that Biden is trying to sabotage Harris as well, and there is a great deal of anecdotal evidence to prove the theory correct, The New York Post reported.
The president had an interaction with a man at the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department in Pennsylvania on September 11 in which he donned a Trump hat.
He was signing a hat for the man when the man asked him to wear his Trump hat, to which the president responded “I ain’t going that far,” as he smiled. But then he momentarily donned the cap to applause in the room.
Then, after the vice president called Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis “selfish” for not taking her calls, Biden directly refuted her when he was asked about it.
“All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Governor DeSantis,” the president responded when asked about the governor not taking the vice president’s calls.
“He’s been very gracious. He thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing, and I think that’s important,” he said.
“The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday, and I said – no – you’re doing a great job, it’s all being done well and we thank you for it,” he added last week. “There was a rough start in some places, but every governor, every governor – from Florida to North Carolina – has been fully cooperative and supportive.”
“Biden is intentionally enacting revenge on Kamala for knifing him in the back,” Republican political strategist and Trump campaign advisory board member Jason Meister told the New York Post.
“He never liked her. The happiest he’s looked in four years was when he put a red [Trump 2024] hat on after speaking with Shanksville, [Pa.] firefighters [last month] on 9/11. He should just come out and endorse Trump,” he said.
“It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup,” Democrat strategist Hank Sheinkopf said.
