"If Harris is advised by her wealthy donors to shun the left and drop her more progressive positions in favor of a ‘move to the center,'" Moore, who grew up in the suburbs of the Midwestern city he made famous in his debut documentary Roger & Me (but has since moved away), writes in a new Substack post, it could "reduce or depress the vote." The Fahrenheit 9/11 director, who also voices his political views on The Michael Moore Podcast, has been a frequent critic of Donald Trump and overall thinks things are looking good for Harris.
"Right now, if you know how to really read the polls, or if you have access to the various private and internal polling being conducted by and shared only amongst the elites, Wall Street, and Members of Congress, then you already know that this election was over weeks ago," he also writes, presuming Harris the winner in several election scenarios. That said, "It is never wise to do a victory dance on the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent." As such, Harris has to walk a fine line to see one of his successful scenarios come to fruition.

I don't know whether it'll be peaceful. The things that Trump has said, and the things that he said last time out, when he didn't like the outcome of the election, were very dangerous."
His comments were a clear allusion to the deadly riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when insurrections sought to stop the certification of the election results.
