Veteran lefty political analyst Van Jones said he is “nervous” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances at the polls Tuesday — after her campaign focused on out-of-touch celebrity endorsements.
Jones, a former special adviser to Barack Obama, said Harris’ “star-studded” campaign events in the days leading up to the election rang 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 final swing-state push, which has featured celebs like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey, will actually convince working class people to vote blue.
“The other thing that makes me nervous, in 2016, we had a big star-studded event right on the edge of the election, and we lost the state,” Jones said on CNN Monday.
“I don’t think people understand, working people sometimes have to choose. Am I going to go to the big, cool concert and pay for babysitting for that or am I going to figure out a way to get to the polls? I don‘t like these big star-studded events,” he said.
“I don’t want people going to concerts. I want people out there knocking on doors, I want people out there fighting for this thing,” he said.
“I’m just nervous, nervous,” he said.
