‘Nervous’ ex-Obama adviser gives damning election day assessment of Kamala Harris after she wheeled out celeb pals
EX-Obama advisor Van Jones admitted he is "nervous" while giving a damning election-day assessment of Kamala Harris's celebrity campaign.
Jones, a veteran political analyst and a long-term supporter of the Democrats, said her "star-studded" campaign will make working-class voters feel isolated.
The expert said that the last few events in the Harris campaign - filled with megastars like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey- felt eerily similar to the final days of Hillary Clinton’s failed White House bid in 2016.
And he admitted being sceptical if the last push in the swing states would convince voters to vote for the Democrats in the election.
"In 2016, we had a big star-studded event right on the edge of the election, and we lost the state," Jones told CNN, referencing Beyonce's performance for Hilary Clinton's campaign.
“I don’t think people understand, working people sometimes have to choose.

"‘Am I going to go to the big, cool concert and pay for babysitting for that or am I going to figure out a way to get to the polls?’
“I don’t want people going to concerts. I want people out there knocking on doors.
"I want people out there fighting for this thing,” he said.
Harris's plan to fill her last few campaigns with mega stars seem to have severely backlashed for the Democrats.
Trump has latched on to the mainstream praise of Harris and said it's a clear indication she's an elite who doesn't care for the average American.
After her SNL episode aired, a spokesperson for his campaign said, "Kamala Harris has nothing substantive to offer the American people.
"So that's why she's living out her elitist friends on Saturday Night Leftists as her campaign spirals down the drain into obscurity.
"For the last four years, Kamala’s destructive policies have led to untold misery and hurt for all Americans," he told Fox News.
"She broke it, and President Trump will fix it."
Trump also blasted celebrities like Beyoncé for failing to perform any music at Harris' event during his own rally in Pittsburgh.
The singer was joined by her former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, who also didn't sing a single bar.
"Everyone's expecting a couple of songs," he said.
"There were no songs. There was no happiness.
"They booed like hell, but the press didn’t play that."

Trump insisted that his campaign doesn't need celebrities because his team is bringing the policies Americans care about most.
