The question of whether Kamala Harris has ever truthfully answered a direct question continues to loom large in the political sphere. Following the recent vice presidential debate where Republican JD Vance demonstrated a commanding performance against Democrat Tim Walz, it has become increasingly apparent that Joe Biden’s choice of Harris as a running mate may be one of his many miscalculations. As the campaign trail heats up, Harris’s inability to provide coherent answers to straightforward questions has raised concerns about her qualifications and effectiveness.
A look back at Democratic Party history reveals a pattern of questionable decision-making when it comes to selecting vice presidents. Barack Obama, in his 2008 campaign, probably believed he was making a solid choice with Joe Biden, a senatorial fixture whose qualifications left something to be desired. Fast forward to 2020, and Biden appears to have made a similarly poor choice in Harris, who lacked suitable competition for the position among her peers in the Senate. With Walz now as her chosen running mate, it seems the Democrats are digging themselves deeper into a pit of unqualified candidates.
As the election season progresses, Kamala Harris has not failed to surprise—and not in a good way. In her recent public appearances, she has repeatedly stumbled over simple inquiries that any competent candidate would expect to answer with ease. Instead, Harris continues to rely on rehearsed talking points, leaving many voters wondering about her grasp on crucial issues affecting the nation. One noteworthy instance highlighted her refusal to address the growing energy crisis, showcasing her administration’s adverse policies that have escalated prices at the pump. While Donald Trump throws around detailed policy proposals, Harris ducks for cover, lost in her scripted responses and vague platitudes.
In addition to dodging economic realities, Harris’s comments regarding aid for hurricane victims have raised eyebrows. During her recent visit to hurricane-affected areas, her promise of a mere $750 to those who lost everything demonstrated a striking lack of empathy and awareness. This figure seemed paltry compared to the lavish sums allocated to foreign countries and illegal immigrants, leading many to question the priorities of the Harris/Biden administration. Such responses only serve to solidify the perception of Harris as out of touch with the struggles of ordinary Americans.

The desperation of the Harris/Walz campaign becomes increasingly apparent with each passing day. Harris’s attempts to articulate her vision come across as confused and poorly informed when juxtaposed with a calm and knowledgeable Vance. Recent polling has spotlighted the growing concerns for the Democrats, and as the election date approaches, it seems inevitable that the Harris/Walz team may resort to even more frantic and misguided rhetoric.
In the months leading up to the election, the spotlight is on Harris, who needs to find a way to articulate her plans without resorting to evasions. Observers are expecting a continued decline in her campaign’s viability as questions about her competence persist. With the stakes so high and time running out, it remains to be seen how much longer Kamala Harris can keep twirling around direct questions before her lack of accountability catches up with her.
