She's at the peak of her honeymoon phase right now, the media has allowed her to get away with hiding from the press so far, the Trump campaign still hasn't fully recalibrated to the new opponent, and normie swing voters don't pay attention to politics before Labour Day anyway. There might also be push polls right now which are deliberately tinkered with to feed the narrative of #Kamalamentum.
At the end of the day, Kamala is a cackling, vapid fool. Her campaign is all fluff with barely any substance behind it, so I fully expect her to come back down to earth sooner or later. And Trump should still hold a sizable edge in the electoral college. On the other hand, Trump is deeply flawed and has a very low and very firm electoral ceiling. And we should never underestimate Trump's ability to shoot himself in the foot.
All in all, I expect a tight race which will go down to the wire, but in which Trump prevails in the end. It's almost uncanny how many similarities there are to 2016.
The parallels to 2016 are growing every day. This is gunna be super close.

Conservatives are a minority, so this isn't surprising.
The founding fathers made our country a Republic and not a Democracy for that reason.
When the Israelites left Egype, they hoped for a totalitarian king to take care of them. It is human nature not to go upward and build one's own freedom.
