The Democratic Party has problems and replacing a candidate this late is not ideal. But it’s hard to see how Harris makes the situation much better.
Vice President Kamala Harris at Applied Materials in Sunnyvale, Calif, on May 22, 2023. Vice President Kamala Harris now faces the challenge of articulating her own vision for steering a U.S. economy that is still grappling with inflation while drawing sharp distinctions with former President Donald J. Trump. .The California Democratic Party apparatus has coalesced behind the Vice President. National Party leaders have as well.I get it.
How do I know she’s a bad candidate and voters aren’t keen on her? The results of the 2020 Democratic Primary should be convincing enough. It was a crowded field, sure, so she can be forgiven for not coming in first. But she was more of an also-ran than a real competitor. And her sympathizers in the media are already gearing up. Many in the media seem to love the idea of Harris, so they come ready to defend her. For example, Politico’s Eugene Daniels chased down what he saw as a massive conspiracy recently when he challenged New Hampshire’s Republican Governor Chris Sununu on whether his mispronunciation of Kamala was part of a widespread Republican plot to disrespect Harris.
Or when she argued with NBC’s Lester Holt about the Administration’s lack of attentiveness to the country’s southern border. Harris was arguing that criticism against the Administration was false, to which Holt replied: “You haven’t been to the border.”“And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris said in what might have seemed like a mic drop moment to her and her only. What does Europe have to do with the Southern Border? And has she really never been to Europe? So many questions.
It’s hard to remember at this point since each newscycle is an eternity, but Harris’ prior campaign was largely destroyed by then-Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who noted Harris’ widespread prosecution of marijuana cases as California’s Attorney General. Gabbard dropped a few other bombs that drove a wedge between Harris and the Democratic base and her campaign never really recovered.
