CNN’s Van Jones makes Kamala Harris’ grim admission as voters head to the polls

Veteran leftist political analyst Van Jones said he is “nervous” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances in the polls on Tuesday – after her campaign focused on untouchable celebrity endorsements.

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 latest push, which has featured celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey, will convince working-class people to vote blue.

“The other thing that makes me nervous, in 2016, we had a big, star-studded event right before the election and we lost the state,” Jones said Monday on CNN.

“I don’t think people understand, working people sometimes have to choose. “Am I going to go to the big, cool gig and pay for childcare for this or do I find a way to get to the polls?” I don’t like these big, star-studded events,” he said.

“I don’t want people to go to concerts. I want people out there to knock on doors, I want people out there to fight for this thing,” he said.

“I’m just nervous, nervous,” he said.

Perry performed with Harris at her campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Monday.

Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, The Roots, Fat Joe and more performed for the Democratic candidate in Philadelphia later that night, where Winfrey also appeared, NBC Philadelphia reported..

Other artists who will perform with Harris on the campaign trail include Bruce Springsteen and rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Pennsylvania could be the state that ultimately decides which candidate is the next president of the United States for the next four years, experts said.

Trump and Harris are in a deadlock in the Keystone State, according to the final New York Times/Siena poll..

Jones also worried about how Harris will perform among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, particularly in Philadelphia, where he said President Biden claimed 70% of the primary Jewish vote in 2020.

“Some polls show Kamala at 50-50,” he said. “That’s 70,000 votes we’ve dropped, that’s the margin of victory,” Jones said.

Another CNN commentator, Scott Jennings, predicted that whichever candidate wins Pennsylvania will be in the White House in January.
