Staff Reports
Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently decided to team up for what can only be described as the world’s least informative interview. They opted for a self-serving chat, rather than facing any actual reporters who might have posed meaningful questions about critical issues facing the country, such as the economy and immigration. Instead, they released a video brimming with light banter and plenty of Harris’s signature cackles, making it less of an interview and more of a bizarre infomercial for the latest TikTok trend.
In this surreal endeavor, voters looking for substantive policy discussions will be sorely disappointed. The duo’s discussion drifted into the realm of the absurd, discussing culinary delicacies like “white guy tacos” while completely sidestepping real issues that keep Americans awake at night. The video served up a heaping portion of vague commentary on their vibrational energy rather than any serious stance, leaving it devoid of real substance or policy proposals.

Kamala, Walz Interview Each Other in Policy-Free Discussion https://t.co/wq8gOdkb5c via @BreitbartNews— Karen aka @djt_Susan (@SaintDonald45) August 16, 2024
The timing of this cheeky clip couldn’t be more curious. Adding to the circus atmosphere, Walz finds himself in the crosshairs of a stolen valor scandal, which has cast a shadow over his campaign since he joined the Harris ticket. Despite his attempts to brush off concerns about his military service claims, critics aren’t letting up. They argue that the real issue is not questioning his service, but rather pointing out dishonesty surrounding it. Apparently, the only thing he seems to know how to serve up is a side of excuses.
In a stark contrast, more robust candidates like Donald Trump and Ohio’s Senator JD Vance regularly take to the stage, fielding media questions like pros, discussing their visions, and not avoiding the tough topics. Meanwhile, it has been 25 long days since Harris decided to grace the public with an unscripted press conference—perhaps hoping that silence is golden or that her vinyl record collection can distract the masses from her lack of coherent economic strategy.
Harris’s recent policy previews provoke more incredulity than confidence. Among her claims is a proposed national ban on price gouging and price-fixing, a bold move that begs the question of whether she genuinely understands the chaos bubbling beneath the surface of the current economy. With consumer prices soaring more than 20.2 percent since the Biden administration took over, the hope is likely that voters care far more about her hip, retro playlists than her floundering economic proposals. If she believes that serenading the voters with tunes will save her diminishing popularity, she may soon find herself singing the blues—just a few notes shy of turning back to her law enforcement past.
As this whimsical campaign strategy unfolds, both Harris and Walz appear comfortable hanging out in the realm of nostalgia while disregarding pressing issues. Should this approach continue, it won’t be long before Walz has to look back on his days prior to joining the ticket and lament his lost “Glory Days,” wondering how he ever thought he could slide by on charisma alone.
