Harris never led Trump, internal polls showed — but DNC officials were kept in the dark

This statement seems to suggest that throughout a particular time period, internal polls showed that Harris, likely referring to Vice President Kamala Harris, was not ahead of Trump, likely referring to former President Donald Trump. However, it also suggests that officials from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) were not aware of these poll results. This kind of phrase often indicates a controversy or issue regarding communication and transparency within a political party or organization.
