After a three-week vacation, NBC’s Seth Meyers had a lot to catch up on Monday’s edition of Late Night. Amid various Olympic-themed analogies, Meyers was relieved that the election no longer feels “like a funeral dirge,” while he also reveled in the supposed idea that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are driving Republicans “insane.”
Meyers recalled, “When I left this desk three weeks ago, suffice to say the vibes were brutal. The election felt like a funeral dirge. Trump was leading in national polls and seemed like he was coasting to victory.”
Now, however, “Fast forward to today, Harris is now leading in the polls, including new ones out from three key swing stages: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. If you told Democrats three weeks ago they'd be up four points in those three states before the end of August, they'd be twerking like a Canadian pole vaulter. By the way, was also awesome. And on top of all that, massive crowds are now waiting in lines to see Harris and Walz, mobbing her plane, and literally swag surfing at her rallies.”
