The political world has seen its fair share of oddities. Still, the recent revival of tactics to boost Vice President Kamala Harris is an especially desperate attempt by the Democratic establishment. After an embarrassing debut in the previous election season that led to an underwhelming performance, it seems that the same folks who brought us Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan are taking a page out of the “let’s try that again” handbook. Apparently, they didn’t get the memo: some things are better left in the past.
The strategy appears to hinge on the conventional wisdom that if, at first, you don’t succeed, throw more money and media coverage at the problem until it magically becomes successful. This time around, the big shots at CNN and various other media outlets seem to be rolling out the red carpet for Harris, determined to polish her image and transform her into the superstar they desperately want her to be. It’s a classic case of “if they say it enough times, surely we will believe it”—a play straight from the liberal playbook.

In this déjà vu spectacle, the Biden administration and its media allies seem to be betting on the notion that relentless spin can turn mediocrity into charisma. They clutch at straws while strategically ignoring Harris’s past gaffes and questionable policy decisions, hoping that a heavy dose of favorable coverage will distract voters from the glaringly obvious: the Vice President’s approval ratings resemble a sinking ship. If trying to paint over rotten wood was an Olympic sport, these players would surely take home the gold.
Meanwhile, conservatives can watch in bemusement as the Democratic Party tries to salvage a candidate who has struggled to resonate even within their own ranks. Harris’s past as a California Senator—marked by flip-flops on key issues and a reputation for being a tough-on-crime prosecutor—does not exactly align with the current Democratic trend towards defunding the police and executing social justice reforms. It raises questions about which version of Kamala the party is trying to sell: the centrist “tough on crime” Harris or the radical “I’m all about social equity” Harris? Voters might want a little clarification on this before casting their ballots.
As the election season heats up, it is evident that the Democrats are desperate for a win and showing their hand in this way. Ironically, this could galvanize conservative voters to rally around a candidate that reflects traditional values and understanding of American principles—something that the Harris team seems to overlook as they push their narrative. If the Democrats think that a fresh coat of paint on an old clunker will fool the electorate, they might want to check the oil first.
