Notorious undercover journalist James O’Keefe got the Democratic National Committee’s compliance manager and Harris campaign aide on video, admitting that he doesn’t believe Kamala Harris can win the election, because she “doesn’t have any accomplishments to speak of” and she’s “weirdly unpopular.”
While Democrats publicly rally around her, behind closed doors many of them still express a major lack of confidence in the Vice President and her ability to defeat former President Trump in November.
Before Joe Biden officially dropped out of the race, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a since-deleted video, where she revealed that a large share of high ranking Democrats “are not just interested in removing the President, they are interested in removing the whole ticket.”
And can anyone blame them?
The only reason she was chosen in the first place as Joe Biden’s running mate was because she’s a black woman. This isn’t a right wing talking point or conjecture, he pledged to pick a female running mate in March of 2020, and faced mounting pressure to choose a black woman, which is the only way a politician with such little talent or savvy could have landed the position in the first place.
Early in the 2020 presidential race, when the field was crowded and it was easy to coast to the top based on name recognition alone, Kamala was a top contender. But when Tulsi Gabbard asked her one of the most predictable questions on her record as a prosecutor in California, that any remotely competent candidate or staff would have prepared for, she flopped, floundered and fumbled, dropping to single digits in the polls and bowing out altogether shortly after.
She’s in a unique position to be hated by the left and right for what many recognize as an overzealous prosecutorial record as Attorney General of California and for her participation in the Minnesota Freedom Fund that paid to free violent criminals following the riots of 2020.
And in her role as Vice President, she’s done nothing to redeem herself.
She was named “Border Czar” but refused to visit the border for months, and when pressed on the issue in an NBC interview, famously said “I haven’t been to Europe either.” The Biden Harris administration has overseen record high illegal immigration, with the crisis reaching a boiling point not just in border states like Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, but all over the country. In deep blue northern strongholds like Massachusetts, residents are reaching their breaking point, as local facilities and hotels are used to house migrants, making everyday life dangerous and inconvenient for American citizens.
In a recent appearance in Georgia, she put on a forced and fake southern accent, baffling Americans from every corner of the country, and reminding many of Hillary Clinton’s unsuccessful efforts to appear relatable to voters she had nothing in common with.
The only way Kamala seems like a halfway decent candidate is comparing her to Joe Biden, and that isn’t saying much.
While she enjoys celebrity endorsements and a media frenzy of praise for the groundbreaking achievement of not being Joe Biden, even her own employees don’t think it will last. The polls indicate Kamala is closing the wide gap that Joe Biden left in election polling and projections, but Democrats can’t afford to take anything for granted with their presumptive nominee.
