Trump's camp is 'literally freaking out' because the 'election is slipping away': MSNBC
According to "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire, there is good reason for panic within Donald Trump's inner circle that his re-election, which they recently felt so confident about just weeks ago, is falling apart.
On MSNBC on Friday morning, co-host Joe Scarborough prompted his panel by observing that, "You have people like Charlie Kirk freaking out now, telling the truth. Saying the numbers are looking terrible in Pennsylvania, that right now, Trump is on his way to losing."
"The Trump campaign has two things happening: one, Donald Trump is starting –– you know things are going well in Pennsylvania for [Kamala] Harris because he is starting to claim, 'Oh, my gosh, they're stealing the vote from me,'" he continued. "That's one hand. On the other hand, Charlie Kirk and other people attached to the Trump campaign, are literally freaking out, saying publicly, we're going to lose if the voting patterns continue this way."

"Yeah, you're seeing a false confidence being put forward by the Trump campaign," Lemire agreed. "In part, because they want to appease the candidate who doesn't like to hear bad news. Behind the scenes, there is growing worry. I've talked to people connected to the campaign in the last day or two and the Trump folks were feeling much better a couple weeks ago than they are today."
After pointing out that the Harris campaign has grown "increasingly confident" but still expect a close race, he added, "Joe mentioned his Truth Social post the other day, claiming fraud in Pennsylvania –– no evidence of that."
"I think we're seeing Trump's outbursts and violent rhetoric increase more and more. What does that usually show us?" he asked. "Behind the scenes, that means he is getting worried. The Truth Social is a window into his soul, what he really thinks and there is a growing anxiety at Mar-a-Lago that this might be slipping away from him."
"Were he to lose, suddenly, the criminal cases come back –– that's adding to the pressure, I'm told," he reported.
