Kamala Harris has pulled off a feat that’s almost impressive in its sheer failure—her latest attempt to create a new policy platform designed to carve out her identity separate from President Biden has fell flatter than a pancake at a family reunion. This new strategy, which could easily win a prize for its lack of substance, seems to have the sole purpose of offering an extensive company briefing on the talents of word salad without any real flavor. If Harris were a magician, her trick would be disappearing credibility and leaving behind nothing but confusion.
In a predictable move that could only be concocted in a closed-door meeting of leftist think tanks, Harris’s policy proposals aim to address various issues that average Americans face. Yet, somehow, they come across as an exercise in pointless rhetoric that neglects the reality on the ground. Instead of tackling pressing concerns with actionable solutions, her initiative reads more like a high school essay where a student will say everything without actually making a valid point. If the goal was to get the public’s attention, she has achieved that—unfortunately, it’s a chorus of eye rolls rather than cheers.

The announcement couldn’t have come at a worse time, as Americans face rising inflation and a shrinking dollar amid a government that seems more interested in social engineering than addressing the economic fallout. Harris’s attempts to diverge from Biden is akin to trying to rebrand a failed store while keeping the same stock—good luck filling those shelves with anything substantial. Instead of focusing on solutions to real-world problems, it appears that the Vice President has chosen to play a political game with a stacked deck.
It’s not surprising that the messaging has failed to resonate when Harris barely provides insight or depth into the issues she claims to tackle. Instead of sounding like a leader ready to alleviate concerns, she seems to be reciting a script left over from theatrical training. It is almost as if the entire endeavor has become a comedy—a mild-mannered attempt to re-establish credibility, while dragging along the remnants of an administration plagued by its own shortcomings. Harris may have concluded that distancing herself from Biden is essential, but she’s merely highlighting the uphill battle and lack of genuine insight from both.
With every misstep, Harris captures the essence of the Biden administration’s disregard for the everyday American. Her latest policy platform serves to further underscore the disconnect between leftist leaders and the very citizens they purport to represent. It raises the real question: who is actually advising these leaders? As Kamala Harris continues to rise in the fluffy, feel-good rhetoric without tangible action, it appears the only thing she has distanced herself from is any chance of being taken seriously in her aspirations for higher office. This whole charade might not be funny, but it is certainly entertaining to watch the implosion from the sidelines.
