'Cold hard facts' prove Harris 'did exactly what she needed to do': Dem on Fox News panel

Fox News' resident Democratic commentator Jessica Tarlov hit her co-hosts on "The Five" with evidence that she said shows Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a resounding success and accomplished everything it needed to do to keep her campaign on track.

"So we heard from Michelle Obama. We heard from Barack Obama. We heard from Oprah Winfrey," said anchor Jesse Watters. "Was Kamala's speech better than any of those speeches?"

"Yes, it was," said Tarlov.

Watters seemed unconvinced. "You think she really was?"

"They were all fantastic speakers," Tarlov continued. However, "I also think Kamala Harris did a really good job and did exactly what she needed to do. And you can judge how strong her speech was by the strength of Donald Trump's meltdown."

"That was a meltdown?" Watters said.

"So it starts on Truth Social while she is speaking. 'ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ME?' In all capitals? Yes, of course, we are talking about you," said Tarlov. "Then Bret and Martha, when they inject a dose of reality, not leading in the polls ... the meltdown continued today in Las Vegas," at Trump's rally on tax policy.

She then dug into the numbers to support her case.

"The evidence of how well she did is in cold hard facts," said Tarlov. "In ratings, Trump's favorite thing, 22 percent up from Donald Trump's acceptance speech. 7.2 million raised between 11p.m. and midnight. Over the course of the entire week, ActBlue says over $100 million came in for Democratic candidates, organizations. A panel of undecided Pennsylvania voters, focus group, eight of them after watching the speech are going with Kamala Harris. Those are all hard facts that shows she did a really good job, the enthusiasm, the polls going in her direction."
