A co-founder of a major super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris turned heads on Monday after suggesting that her polling numbers are being overstated.
Reuters reported that Chauncey McLean, president of Future Forward, a super PAC that has raised hundreds of millions to support Harris this election cycle, spoke on Monday at an event in Chicago associated with the Democratic National Convention.
“Our numbers are much less rosy than what you’re seeing in the public,” said McLean, who rarely speaks in public.
According to McLean, Kamala Harris gained a lot of support from young voters of color after Biden withdrew, which has revived Democratic prospects in Sunbelt states like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—states that Democrats had largely dismissed in the final days of Biden’s campaign.
