A recent analysis from The New Republic reveals that Kamala Harris remains as politically predictable as ever, even after five long years in the limelight. Alex Shephard’s dissection of Harris’ political evolution—or lack thereof—suggests that not much has changed in her approach to governance. For those keeping count, that means Harris has been holding onto her same tired talking points like a high school student clutching a participation trophy.
This news might come as a shock to anyone who thought the vice presidency would propel her into the realms of substantial change or dazzling political artistry. Unfortunately, it seems that instead of stepping up her game, Harris has opted to continue serving an old menu of progressive platitudes. The question arises: does she truly believe her own rhetoric, or has she just run out of ideas? Either way, voters might be scratching their heads wondering why they haven’t seen her morph into a more dynamic leader.
Kamala is incapable of producing a single coherent thought without a script.

While the left continues to trumpet Harris as a groundbreaking figure, the reality is that she has largely remained a caricature of a politician. Her speeches and public appearances often resemble a greatest hits album of radical policy proposals that never materialized. It’s as if Harris has decided she’s found a niche in being the vice president who makes promises without the pesky necessity of delivery. Given her track record, one might wonder if she even knows what “change” is—perhaps it’s just another virtue-signaling term in her repertoire.
What is truly ironic is that despite all the hype around “Kamala Moments,” they often end up being little more than cringe-inducing sound bites that fail to resonate with the average American. For every attempt to connect with voters through compelling storytelling or emotionally charged narratives, there’s a serious policy misfire lurking in the background. Harris seems caught in a perpetual cycle of being out of touch, making her a poster child for the “do as I say, not as I do” mentality that so many liberals embrace.

In the end, it looks like the Democrats are stuck with a vice president who refuses to evolve, remaining locked within the confines of her original political persona. While the left might still cling to their girl-boss fantasies about Harris, the reality is that she remains a familiar figure on a rather stagnant political landscape. If this evolution-less trend continues, maybe American voters will start perceiving her as a political antique rather than the fresh face of progress she was initially supposed to be.
