Kamala Harris is at it again, and anyone with a sense of humor is likely rolling on the floor at the latest news about her next grand career move. After taking an epic tumble in the presidential race—one that was not only shocking but left even her biggest supporters scratching their heads—Harris is exploring her options. But rather than disappearing into a quiet retirement, this former vice president believes she might still have something to offer America, or so she thinks.
After a campaign that was generously funded to the tune of a billion dollars and completely coddled by a biased media eager to paint her as a cultural hero, Harris managed to launch a campaign that culminated in an electoral defeat that can only be described as historic. With her comedy of errors on display throughout her candidacy, it seems only fitting that she’s now considering the establishment of an institute focused on policy and ideas. The sheer audacity is laughable, but it also reveals the audacity prevalent in liberal circles where failure isn’t what it seems; rather, it’s just an opportunity for another wildly misguided venture.
To anyone who’s been following her journey, the idea of Harris opening an institute seems a bit like handing a toddler the keys to a car. This is a woman who, throughout her entire run, struggled to string together coherent thoughts, delivering what can only be charitably termed as “word salads” in place of actual policy discussions. Her campaign trail performances included speeches that were meant to motivate but instead led to eye rolls as she verbalized endless circles around simple concepts. The notion that this same person could lead an institute designed to foster crucial national ideas is both absurd and an indictment of the current state of academia.

It’s clear that Harris is plotting a path that aims to keep her in the public eye while carefully sidestepping any potential fallout from actually taking on the role of California’s governor. After all, should she assume office and attempt to leap into the presidential race soon after, she’d likely face a barrage of criticism for abandoning her duties. By positioning herself in a lofty scholarly realm, Harris can benefit from the intellectual dust that gathers around her while she waits for a better timing to pounce on a presidential bid in 2028.
This entire scenario underscores a grim reality about today’s higher education institutions that have become completely politicized. If Kamala Harris can waltz into such an academic role without any real qualifications or accomplishments, it reflects poorly on the standards—or lack thereof—that are currently accepted in universities. It raises the question of how much real scholarship is valued when political ambition can masquerade as intellectual contribution.
If nothing else, Kamala Harris continues to be a source of both bewilderment and entertainment, embodying everything that conservative critics see as wrong with the left. Whenever she surfaces back into the arena, it’s safe to assume that this will not bring about serious discussions but rather another chance at amusement, as she attempts to navigate the contradictory waters of her political aspirations.
