Mr Fabrizio minimized Ms Harris’s recent surge in the polls and chalked it up to a Harris honeymoon in a memo distributed to the media on Saturday. FiveThirtyEight, a poll aggregator, reports that she now leads her opponent nationwide by 3.6 per cent, up from 0.4 per cent one month prior.
The vice president’s popularity has been written off by many Republicans as a fleeting sugar high that will soon wear off, but Mr Fabrizio suggested it may have lasted longer than anticipated due to positive media coverage. In actuality, the honeymoon has been extended by the media for more than four weeks.
