In a shocking turn of events, it seems that Democrats are unwilling to face the harsh truth about Kamala Harris. While Joe Biden is gracefully stepping away from politics, Harris remains determined to fight on, despite her lackluster performance during the election. Her refusal to concede defeat and her incessant use of the word “fight” in her speeches have raised eyebrows among both allies and donors who generously contributed to her campaign. The question that looms over Harris’s political future is why Democrat elites refuse to acknowledge her problem.
Recent reports suggest that Harris is strategizing her next move during the holiday season. She contemplates whether to run for president again in 2028 or set her sights on becoming the governor of California in 2026. However, before she embarks on this journey, it is crucial for Harris to reflect on the mistakes she made during her previous bids for office.
One such mistake was evident in a bizarre video released by Harris just before Thanksgiving. In the video, she appeared disoriented and slurred her words, leaving many perplexed and concerned about her mental state. Reassuring Democrats that they still hold power even after November 5th, Harris failed to address the reality of elections and the importance of accepting defeat gracefully.
The staging of the video also raised eyebrows. Shot in what seemed like a San Francisco living room with a makeshift backdrop featuring an American flag and drawn curtain fabric, it lacked authenticity and sincerity. This begs the question: if Harris had loyal staffers who genuinely cared about her political success, they would have advised against releasing such a questionable video.
Instead of focusing on rectifying past mistakes, Harris seems more preoccupied with leisure activities like vacationing in Hawaii and seeking advice from family members, particularly Maya Harris – someone with little success in political campaigns herself. It is imperative for Harris to surround herself with individuals who can provide unbiased and strategic counsel.
Comparisons can be drawn between Harris and Hillary Clinton, another prominent Democrat who suffered a humiliating loss in the past. While Clinton has refrained from running again, she continues to question the legitimacy of Trump’s victory and even penned her fourth memoir. It is important for Harris to learn from Clinton’s mistakes and recognize that clinging onto the world stage without fresh ideas does not benefit her or the party.
The Democratic Party has historically been hesitant to renominate candidates who have previously lost elections. Figures like Al Gore and Hillary Clinton did not pursue further political careers after their defeats. Perhaps it would be wise for Harris to follow John Kerry’s playbook by seeking a White House appointment in the future, should a Democrat secure the presidency.
If Harris decides to run for president again, she risks becoming a laughingstock due to her recent video debacle. Democrats must take responsibility for their defeat and consider new faces if they are unwilling to change their message. Current polls indicate that 41 percent of Democratic voters would support another Harris campaign, but this support is likely based on a lack of knowledge about alternative candidates rather than genuine enthusiasm.
The only other names generating significant interest among Democratic voters are California Governor Gavin Newsom and Minnesota’s Tim Walz – both closely affiliated with Kamala Harris. This suggests that Democrats, like Harris herself, have failed to grasp the lessons from their November 5th defeat.
It is crucial for Democrats to realize that they cannot continue down the same path if they want different results. Policies marked by leniency towards crime, drugs, immigration, anti-Semitic radicals, excessive spending, and woke politics in schools have proven ineffective. The party needs fresh ideas and strong leadership if they hope to regain public trust.
As Kamala Harris ponders her political future during the holiday season, it is essential for Democrats to face reality and reassess their strategy. Will they finally admit defeat and seek a new path forward, or will they continue to cling to a failing narrative? Only time will tell.
