Tucked away in the aftermath of Trump’s latest victory, the Democratic Party seems to be engaged in a brutal game of political musical chairs. And at the center of the chaos? None other than Kamala Harris, who is apparently not the shining star her supporters have led the public to believe. Lindy Li, a Democratic strategist and member of the Democratic National Finance Committee, recently took to the airwaves and threw down some revelations about the opinions of Obama and Pelosi regarding Harris. Spoiler alert: they’re not exactly throwing her a parade.
During her media blitz, Li didn’t hold back, dissecting the political sentiments lurking beneath the surface of Democratic high society. The crux of the matter is clear: neither Obama nor Pelosi had any real desire to see Harris climb to the top of the ticket after Biden took a unceremonious exit from the race. While many had their suspicions, it turns out their doubts were more than mere whispers in a backroom; they were practically shouting it from the rooftops.
The Democratic Party’s power players, as it would seem, were not sad at the prospect of Harris leading the charge. Li went as far as to imply that both Obama and Pelosi were actively wishing for a serious primary challenge rather than a smooth handover of power—a “coronation,” as she succinctly put it. Kamala Harris’s ascension to prominence, it seems, was less about her abilities and more about Biden’s inability to withstand the pressures of office.
Li didn’t stop there. She hinted at Pelosi’s quiet endorsement of her efforts to publicly call for Biden to step down, suggesting some deeply entrenched frustrations with the administration’s leadership. It’s like watching a game of political chess where everyone is trying to checkmate a pawn who mistakenly thinks she’s a queen. The deeply entrenched Democratic machine, according to Li, had other names on their radar. Speculation flitted around, with names like Arizona Senator Mark Kelly popping up as potential “next in line” candidates—not Harris.

This leaves an awkward reality for the Democrats: While they’ve showered Harris with praise in public, likely in an attempt to maintain some semblance of unity, their private opinions tell a different tale. It underscores a troubling disconnect between the Democratic rhetoric and the aristocracy’s actual sentiments. The kind of political infighting and backstabbing usually reserved for a bad reality TV show has now seeped into the Democratic competence narrative.
So, here’s the kicker: Harris, the supposed trailblazer of the party, is sitting on a steep cliff of uncertainty, teetering as party elites openly pine for better options. This revelation presents a humiliating moment in her political career, confirming what many have suspected—that the real heavyweights in the Democratic Party lacked confidence in her abilities. As the fallout continues and the chaos among the Democrats thickens, one can almost picture the internal fundraising galas, where the chatter about Harris’s ineptitude echoes louder than the applause.
