With President Joe Biden announcing he won’t run for a second term, it seems Kamala Harris has been handed the Democratic Party’s baton without so much as a training montage. As she attempts to solidify her claims for the presidential nominating process, the left has rapidly shifted their focus—and all their hope—onto her to take down Donald Trump come November. This desperate bid to dethrone the former president is quite the spectacle, considering Harris wasn’t even the main act when Biden was in office.
Entering the ring like a prizefighter out of shape, Harris has made her way into the oddest corners of pop culture, where only the most ‘woke’ of Democrats would dare to tread. Recent videos on social media accounts in the same breathless faux-seriousness that has become her trademark showcase her rambling on about pride and equality in a cringeworthy manner that would make most normal Americans squirm. Her cameo in “RuPaul’s Drag Race” is the latest attempt to appeal to the left’s most extreme bases, echoing a political message that’s more about style than substance.

As Harris spewed an incoherent “word salad” loaded with buzzwords and platitudes, one can’t help but wonder if the Vice President might benefit from a guide on how to connect with average Americans rather than vice presidents of drag shows. Her upbeat declaration about voting being power would be easier to digest if it didn’t come wrapped in an uncomfortable aura that makes it seem more like a desperate plea from a cornered animal than an inspiring call to action.
Instead of building a robust platform, she has chosen to play the long game of pandering to the far-left fringes of her party. Following Biden’s withdrawal, all eyes are now on her, and the Democratic National Committee seems to be feeling the pressure. Fearing a serious challenger might rain on their parade (and let’s be honest, they wouldn’t handle it well), the DNC is putting up more barricades than a bank in a heist movie. They seem convinced that Harris has all the momentum she needs, but it’s questionable whether that hype will translate into real support among a broader electorate.
While Harris may think she’s captivating audiences with her colorful speeches and drag show appearances, the reality is that the everyday American voter wants more than just a collection of slogans. With the drama unfolding within her party, she seems all set to learn a harsh lesson when November rolls around. It turns out that the far-left fringes she’s cozying up to represent a tiny segment of the voting populace, and come election time, the average Joe is likely to be far less enthused about a candidate whose idea of serious campaigning includes guest spots on reality TV.
