Geraldo Rivera ‘Cautiously Pessimistic’ Over Early Harris Results: Seems Trump Is ‘Doing Better’ Than 2020

 

Geraldo Rivera told NewsNation early voting results have him “cautiously pessimistic” for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’m cautiously pessimistic, Elizabeth. It seems to me as if Kamala Harris has not succeeded and I was hoping against hope that Georgia and/or North Carolina would fall into her category. It did not happen,” Rivera told Elizabeth Vargas on Tuesday night.

Vargas noted both Georgia and North Carolina were too close to call, but early results favored former President Donald Trump. Rivera said early results are not leaning the way he expected. Rivera previously endorsed Harris over his former friend Trump, saying he is “disappointed” in his “blindness” to his ex-friend’s rhetoric.

“I thought that Trump’s obnoxious rhetoric toward migrants and the insult fest at Madison Square Garden event would be definitive in that in my dreams the Puerto Ricans of Allentown and north Philadelphia were/are going to save the Republic,” Rivera said, acknowledging it was still early.

Rivera argued Harris needs Pennsylvania to “save” her, noting Trump has been outperforming his results in 2020.

“It looks like Trump is doing better than he did last cycle and it looks to me at these early stages — unless Pennsylvania saves her, it seems the vice president is going down — strictly my subjective opinion that Trump will prevail,” he said.
