Sunday is Kamala Harris' birthday. She turned 60 today, which is an occasion for many to take note of where they are in their lives.
Things have not been going well for her lately, with that train wreck interview on Fox News, her ticking off people by blowing off the Al Smith dinner, and her offending folks with mocking words after students shouted out "Jesus is Lord" at one of her rallies.
When Democratic candidates for the Senate are including Trump in their ads in tough states for them, that's a really bad look for Harris.
However, I wonder if she was checking the polls. Because those are also really not looking good for her right now. We've reported how RealClearPolling has President Donald Trump up in all the battleground states, and that is holding.

Now it's still tight according to the RCP, so take nothing for granted and drag everyone out to the voting booth to make sure we overwhelm all possibility of "found votes" or similar funny business.
Here's what it is right now.

It just made another move with Atlas Intel and the TIPP, which have now moved the race even tighter in the national vote. Atlas Intel has Trump up by three and TIPP has Trump up by two.

I think the Harris team may be checking the polls now after that tweet, and I suspect she's not having the happiest of birthdays. That means Trump has made up six points since Oct. 15 in the TIPP polling, in the wake of Kamala's train wreck Fox interview and her other comments. His momentum was already going, but those things might have helped supercharge it.
Those polls now have the national vote even closing, so Harris is now only up 0.9 in the head-to-head battle. Talk about momentum moving to Trump -- this would be it.
BREAKING — Harris' lead in the RCP Average has dropped to just 0.9. On this day in 2020, Biden was leading by 8.6; on this day in 2016, Hillary was ahead by 6.4. pic.twitter.com/mqX4cK3Kvh

At this point in 2020, Joe Biden was up by 8.6, and in 2016., Hillary Clinton was up by 6.4.
Trump appears to be hitting his stride at just the right time in the race. That's making Kamala appear more and more desperate as she racks up the crazy, claiming Trump is exhausted (yet he's doing more events/interviews than her), he's "unstable" (as she and her team lie their heads off about Trump).
Expect a lot more crazy over the next few weeks. Get to your polling place early if you can.
