So, Vice President Kamala Harris is out there, calling this upcoming election the most “existential” and “consequential” of our lifetimes. Sounds like audition season in Hollywood, and there’s no bigger role right now than trying to replace the flailing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Her speech to the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority crowd seemed more like a Trump-bashing audition tape than genuine support for Biden.
Turns out, Harris knows a thing or two about dodging hard questions. Instead of addressing the growing chorus of concerns about Biden’s fitness (because let’s face it, who wouldn’t have questions after his debate meltdown), she pointed her finger squarely at Trump. The vice president avoided the Biden debate debacle, even though Democrats internally are on the edge of a mutiny, questioning whether the lights are even still on in Joe’s head.

Harris, threw in some dark predictions, warning that Trump would threaten the rule of law, referencing his supposed fraud and implying he would be a dictator for a day. As if that’s not dramatic enough! Also, according to Harris, Trump would usher in a national abortion ban, despite his stance that it’s a state issue. Queue the scare tactics and frenzied hand-wringing.
Then, Trump didn’t miss his cue to deliver some shots of his own, calling her “Laffin’ Kamala” and slamming her for her disappearing act on border issues. Funny how Kamala being MIA as border czar lines up with the record-breaking chaos there. Honestly, one has to wonder why Biden picked her in the first place if he was serious about getting anything done.
Next stop for Harris is the hustling for Black and minority votes, where the Biden-Harris ticket seems to be losing steam. Support is wavering even among historically loyal bases in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, with potential voters now eyeing third-party candidates or simply doubting Biden can handle four more years.
As she campaigns alongside a visibly faltering Biden, Harris will be critical in retaining minority support. No rest for the weary—she’s off to lock down Asian American votes in Philly next. Given how crucial these demographics were in swinging the last election, it’s clear they’re pulling out every stop. It’s election time, and the Democrats need every vote they can get.
The clock is ticking, and the Biden-Harris duo is fighting to remain afloat. Can they keep the ship from sinking, or will they go down with all hands on deck? Time will tell.
