Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have cracked the code to political success: say nothing and allow the press to fawn over her. This cunning strategy, as pointed out by Byron York at the Washington Examiner, is currently yielding dividends for Harris, who has taken the reins as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee. Instead of articulating her grand vision for America, Harris has mastered the art of silence—quite the impressive feat, especially considering her often empty rhetoric about transparency and accountability.
Despite her non-existent media presence, Harris is reportedly basking in the glow of positive press coverage, including a feature in Time magazine that somehow highlighted her without her actually having to say anything. This kind of coverage might make one wonder if the media’s affection for Harris has more to do with willing compliance than with actual leadership potential. It seems the less she says, the more the media sings her praises, proving once again that vague platitudes can win the hearts and minds of the liberal press.

Polling data shows Harris has surged ahead of former President Trump, at least for now, in some key states. York noted that her sudden rise from the ranks of despairing Democrats correlates intriguingly with the announcement of her running mate, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, who is undoubtedly a local favorite in the Midwest. This leads to a rather entertaining thought: is Harris actually gaining popularity because of Walz’s credentials, or is it merely because he has the apparent ability to outshine her in even the most modest light?
One can’t help but chuckle at Harris’s sudden shift in focus on immigration, as if she is now the hero in the very crisis largely linked to her previous role as the “border czar.” As more illegal immigrants flood into the country, Harris’s attempts to sidestep responsibility are like watching a cat try to cover up a mess on a hardwood floor—eager but ultimately futile. Voters are savvy enough to remember that she is not just an innocent bystander in the disaster unfolding at the southern border; she played an instrumental role in its current state.
While Harris enjoys her moment in the spotlight, Trump’s impending interview with Elon Musk offers a sharp contrast to her strategy. The former president’s willingness to engage and tackle issues head-on serves as a reminder that for some, political discourse is about action, not silence. With the upcoming 2024 election timeline tightening, it begs the question: will Harris stick to her non-communication approach, or will she be forced to face the media firing squad if the polls slip? Only time will tell, but for now, her silence seems to be speaking volumes to her camp, even if it leaves more than a few voters scratching their heads in confusion.
