Bakari Sellers Hits Back After Scott Jennings Calls Harris 2024 the ‘Most Manufactured Presidential Campaign Ever’

CNN commentator Bakari Sellers hit back at CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday after Jennings called Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign “the most manufactured” campaign in history.

During a panel discussion about the criticism Harris has received for granting her first interview nearly 40 days after the launch of her presidential campaign, Sellers argued: “The American public does not want to hear us saying that, ‘Oh my gosh, she should do an interview on day 10 or day 12, or it should be with this person or that person.’ It’s organic. The entire Kamala Harris campaign has been organic.”

Jennings then interrupted: “What?! Organic?! This is the literal most manufactured presidential campaign ever. She didn’t even run! It’s the opposite of organic.”

Sellers shot back: “Can I ask you one question? You’ve been a part of a lot of campaigns, right? A ton of campaigns. How many campaigns in your manufacturing have you been able to manufacture 400,000 volunteers or $540 million? Or how about this, 4% of the electorate, 4% of the entire electorate in the state of Georgia has volunteered for Kamala Harris.”

“If you believe that, I’ve got properties I’ll sell you,” Jennings replied, before host Abby Phillip proceeded to quickly move the panel onto a different topic.

According to the Harris campaign, nearly 400,000 Americans have signed up to volunteer for the vice president, with 35,000 volunteers in the state of Georgia alone.

The Harris campaign has also raised more than half-a-billion dollars since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.
