Scott Jennings criticizes Kamala Harris for her ‘I Told You So’ statement and clarifies why supporters of Trump are still satisfied with his performance.

Conservative political analyst Scott Jennings from CNN voiced his disapproval of former Vice President Kamala Harris using the ‘I told you so’ approach when discussing the current administration.

During the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California, Harris implied that her campaign had predicted the potential outcomes if President Trump were to be re-elected.

The unpopular presidential campaign loser said Trump thus far had created a “great sense of fear” in the country.

“There were many things that we knew would happen,” she said. “I’m not gonna say ‘I told you so.'”

The comment drew laughter and applause from the giddy pro-Harris crowd.

On “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” the discussion touched upon Harris’ remarks following Trump’s implementation of tariffs. Jennings highlighted that even during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, Americans faced challenges but believed the nation was on a positive trajectory.

“If people feel like their economic trajectory is on the upswing, they will give you political leash,” he explained. “And if they feel like their own trajectory is on the downswing, they will punish you.”

Jennings fully admits he has “mixed feelings” regarding the tariffs but goes on to address Harris’s comments. On those, he has no mixed feelings.

The conservative panelist turned Kamala’s ‘I told you so’ comment on its head, pointing out that, yes, voters did want secure borders. Yes, they did want to pivot away from left-wing cultural lunacy.

“Well, yeah, I mean, elections are ultimately about choices,” he said. “They aren‘t, you know, you don‘t have them in a vacuum. And I would just argue back to Kamala Harris that, you know, ‘I told you so?'”

“I agree, I told you so Donald Trump was going to close the southern border. I told you so. He was going to bring order to immigration. I told you so. He was going to drag this country out of the left-wing cultural ditch and put us back towards more mainstream middle of the road,” Jennings hammered.

Scott Jennings explains that no, Trump voters aren’t having buyer’s remorse. Democrats are in denial.

Kamala Harris is trying to capitalize on market skittishness over Trump’s tariffs. But there must be a reminder that the President has said he would implement these economic policies all along. He has never wavered. The adults are in the room now, and they’re making hard choices to put the American economy back on the rails after former President Joe Biden and Harris drove it off.

Jennings also took the idea that voters now have buyer’s remorse with Trump and promptly spiked it. 

“So now he‘s also executing, as you all have acknowledged, his economic agenda, just as he said he was going to do,” he surmised. “He‘s enacting tariffs and he‘s asking the Congress to make the tax cuts permanent. And he‘s unleashing American energy.”

“So it strikes me that this is a healthy level of copium going on right now among Democrats who are telling themselves stories that the people who voted for this are not happy with it,” Jennings concluded. “The vast majority, if not everyone who voted for Donald Trump, is some level of happiness ranging from 9 to 10 on the happiness.”

The panel, naturally, disagreed with the comments. They really, really want to believe that Trump voters are fleeing this President in record numbers. The numbers don’t bear that out, however.

Rasmussen’s daily presidential tracking poll shows that from Wednesday, when Trump announced the sweeping tariffs, to Thursday, his approval index jumped two points. His approval rating remains at 49%, which is higher than ‘I told you so’ Harris.

Will he see a bit of a drop over his handling of the economy if the tariffs continue to hit the stock market? Possibly. But Trump voters are intelligent. They recognize what needs to be done to restore American greatness. And they understand that not everything amounts to simple, black-and-white choices.

The economy is a complex beast. Something Harris and her voters could never quite comprehend.
