‘I can’t get into people’s heads': Kamala Harris tries to reshape her public image ahead of 2024
Politico ^ | 8/21/23 | Eugene Daniels

Posted on 08/22/2023 1:58:46 AM PDT by Libloather

CHICAGO - Backstage, as she prepares for a not-so-intimate “fireside chat” about gun safety in front of hundreds of people, Kamala Harris is unscripted and seemingly at ease, no notes or teleprompter in sight.

She’s comfortable offering condolences and counsel to those who’ve lost loved ones to gun violence - who stream in wearing red shirts emblazoned with “Moms Demand Action” or “Students Demand Action.” She holds their hands and looks into their eyes. “We speak their names,” she whispers to one woman.

**SNIP**

Her tenure as Joe Biden’s No. 2 has not been known for relaxed and warm moments like those in Chicago. Instead, Harris’ term has largely been marked by stilted performances at public events, at odds with the uninhibited interrogator she was known as in the Senate. They’ve fueled whispers about whether she’ll be a drag on the reelection ticket as the 2024 race heats up.

Now her political future, and quite possibly the success of the Democratic ticket in 2024, hinges on a simple question: Is it possible for Kamala Harris to make a second impression?

For Harris, it’s a question that fundamentally misunderstands the point. In her mind, she’s the same person she was when the prevailing narrative of her was that of a star prosecutor, ascendant political talent and even the future of the Democratic Party.

“You could have followed me around in Iowa [ahead of 2020],” Harris told POLITICO in one of two exclusive interviews. “You would have seen the same thing four years ago. It’s always who I’ve been. So I can’t get into people’s heads about why they characterize things as being one way or another. It’s not as though I’ve just found myself. I’ve always been here and never went away.”

Try harder.

They didn’t get a chance to reject her in the primaries: she dropped out of the race before a single vote was cast.

What a mean, angry and despicable person she is. How she can be worse than Joe is beyond me.

I need glasses. I thought the headline read “Kamala Harris tries to reshape her pubic image ahead of 2024”. Thought it was going to be about artistic depilation.

I guess the saying is really true. There’s no chrome left on that hitch.

You are of course assuming that ALL the good little RINOS vote for Newsom. Still needs 2/3 of House and Senate. Joey can’t just name a new VP.

Then again, all the RINO Cucks will gladly “sniff the diaper” and vote for Newsom.

One of the Overlook Hotel staff told her “You’ve ALWAYS been here” and she never forgot it,

“Kamala Harris is unscripted and seemingly at ease”

That’s almost laugh out loud funny.

Lame attempt to recast her in a new, different light.

Kamalamadingdong and her flatlined Traitor-in-Chief are the epitome of the traitorous Demonicrats who voted for them.

She needs to tell us what she finds so funny. The crap going on in America right now is nothing to laugh about. Even the miggies are disappointed that America isn’t what they expected. They are crying and whining about all the “chaos” going on here. I hope a bunch of them get together and sue Mayorkas for lying to them.

“Is it possible for Kamala Harris to make a second impression?”

Whenever a pol does this “rebranding” they’ve lost. How many times did Hillary get “reintroduced”? You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

People want the genuine person with true, core beliefs, not a malleable caricature shaped by advisors.

I remember Hillary’s Minnie Pearl/Groucho Marx era where she was baring teeth and was all smiles and elbows and guffawing, sloshing beers and tossing back shooters. A stone cold witch trying to seem relatable, The witch came out again, and stayed, after her act failed. Kamala, like her, is just a lousy politician trying to hide what she really is.

That won’t happen. Harris leave the seat one heartbeat away from the WhiteHouse, in exchange for a senate seat, like she already held before? No chance, and no one can make her do it.

The key to 2024 for the Rats is Biden announcing his decision to retire at the end of his term, for health reasons, maybe early next Spring. This will open the primary field. Harris would have to run on her own against Newsome and whoever else, and she would go nowhere, just as she did in 2020. That solves the Rat’s Harris problem.

We will know for sure, if Newsome announces sometime by, say, year’s end, if this scenario is going to occur.

But she does heels up pretty good.
Just ask Willie Brown.

She’s going to have to get an “identity weave” so people will know who the hell she is when she’s sitting their giggling and jiggling.
