The perplexity of the liberal media and Democrats following the stunning defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris is becoming comedic theater. They find themselves scratching their heads, pondering the magnitude of her loss to President-elect Donald Trump, and attempting to pinpoint exactly how she managed to lose so spectacularly.
In the wake of this electoral debacle, some of the party’s brightest minds have been busy casting blame. According to reports, former Republican representative Liz Cheney, an unapologetic anti-Trump crusader, may have unintentionally driven a stake through Harris’ hopes in key states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. It turns out that Harris’ decision to campaign alongside Cheney could have been a costly misstep, much like trusting a cat to babysit a litter of kittens.

New data from Data for Progress sheds light on this debacle and unveils just how deeply Cheney’s involvement affected Harris’ appeal. In Michigan, a sizable 30% of swing voters were left feeling less enthusiastic about Harris after Cheney threw her endorsement in the ring. Meanwhile, only 23% expressed increased excitement. What a stellar endorsement! Only in the Democratic playbook could a supporting cast member become the antagonist.
The situation was similarly grim in Pennsylvania, where 28% of swing voters indicated their disillusionment with Harris following her campaign trail partnership with Cheney. A paltry 21% felt uplifted by the neoconservative’s presence. This data paints a clear picture: Harris’ strategy of racking up media attention by associating with Cheney backfired spectacularly. Apparently, the adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” doesn’t translate well in politics.
Moreover, the data indicated a significant shift in support demographics. In Michigan, key voter groups—older white voters and men—who might have once supported Harris decided to rethink their allegiance post-Cheney endorsement. It seems the golden girl of the left was less of a shining beacon and more of a floodlight warning of trouble to come. Similar issues cropped up in Pennsylvania, where disdain for Harris may have festered during her misguided pursuit of celebrity support, highlighting a fundamental disconnect from the working-class base that keeps the country running.
The ongoing fixation of the left on scapegoating external figures underlines their refusal to acknowledge the electorate’s sentiment. As the political comedies unfold, one can only watch in amusement as they scramble to piece together the aftermath of their own poorly executed campaign strategy. With finger-pointing at its peak, it will be entertaining to see how long they can keep up the charade without reflecting on their own failures.
