Harris's handling of a confrontation with a distressed disability care worker has overshadowed his campaign, forcing him to repeatedly apologize and tarnishing Fine Gael's standing in the polls.
Harris's apology didn’t just cover the immediate incident; he expressed deep remorse, saying, 'I didn’t meet my own standards, let alone anybody else’s,' revealing his personal connection to the issue.
The viral footage of Harris dismissing questions from care worker Charlotte Fallon has created what’s being referred to as the 'Simon slump', drastically impacting public perception and poll standings.
As the general election approaches, the inability of Fine Gael to maintain its lead reflects broader concerns among voters, particularly regarding the treatment of the care sector and public service.
