Vice President Kamala Harris is struggling in the final stretch before Election Day and everyone knows it, and some of her top allies are even admitting it.
According to the New York Post, former President Bill Clinton spent last week stumping for Harris in the swing state of Arizona, where he admitted to the small crowd that Harris is "vulnerable."
The admission was nothing less than a major thorn in the side of the Harris campaign, which has spent considerable time downplaying the reality of Harris' situation.
Clinton also made a curious remark about Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who he described as a "physically attractive" person.
Both of Clinton's remarks came during a speech to a rally crowd in Arizona when he compared the presidental race to the gubernatorial showdown between Lake and her Democratic challenger, Rep. Ruben Gallego.
"This is like a beautiful microcosm of the campaign that Kamala Harris is running for president," Clinton said.
He added, "You got a person [Gallego] that grew up under sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life, running against someone [Lake] who is physically attractive but believes that politics is a performance art."
Clinton made yet another bizarre word stumble when he attempted to compare Lake to Sen. J.D. Vance, stumbling over the word "prostrate."
"Like JD Vance, she has to be prostrate before the master," Clinton said.

Lake had plenty of fun with Clinton's remarks, even invoking Clinton's fondness for White House interns.
"He said I was physically attractive. I woke up to this news this morning,” Lake said.
"As a middle-aged woman, I’m flattered. I’m flattered, OK?” Lake added. "I don’t get those kind of compliments every day. Two, I thought I was a little too old for him. Doesn’t he like interns?"
At another Arizona campaign event, Clinton admitted Harris is vulnerable.
The former president explained that there is only “a sliver” of voters that have yet to make up their minds about which presidential candidate to support, “and what they think of [Harris] largely depends on what they think of President Biden.”
“But she is extremely vulnerable,” Clinton said. “More vulnerable than she deserves to be, through crazy attacks.
