The latest October surprise from Vice President Kamala Harris is causing quite a stir, but let’s not kid ourselves—it’s more of a damp squib than a game-changer. The timing of this revelation could not be worse for a campaign that desperately needs a miracle. At this point, it seems like the only thing Harris is good at surprising the country with is abysmal polling numbers.
Harris’ tactic appears to be a weak attempt to take the spotlight off a floundering administration grappling with runaway inflation, a stagnant economy, and international chaos. Perhaps in a different universe, where timing didn’t matter, she could have spun this new piece of information into something that might have actually resonated with voters. But alas, in the political arena, when it rains it pours, and right now, the forecast for Harris and her team looks ominously stormy.
First October Surprise Comes At Worst Possible Moment For Harris’s Campaign https://t.co/Qu5tZnbfYo via @dailycaller

The irony is rich here, as this so-called October surprise might just be the cherry on top of an already crumbling campaign. The Vice President, who only months ago was seen as the heir apparent, is now struggling to keep her head above water. Just when one thought she couldn’t fall further down the rabbit hole, her own team decides to pull out a shocking reveal that is sure to go down in history as the least effective political maneuver of the year.
While Harris’s campaign is scrambling to spin this news, one has to wonder how many more “surprises” will be needed to distract voters from the stark reality of the Biden administration’s failures. With an upcoming election that looks more daunting with each passing day, one has to question whether this effort is simply a band-aid on a gaping wound. It’s like trying to cure a gunshot wound with a little bit of Neosporin.
As the days tick down to the election, it remains to be seen whether this October surprise will even make a dent in the electorate’s memory. With Harris looking like a deer caught in headlights, voters are likely to tune out the noise and instead focus on the issues that really matter—like the staggering costs at the grocery store and the rising crime rates in cities across America. In this high-stakes game of political chess, it appears Harris is playing checkers with her eyes closed.
