Former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris boasted that she’s a “historic figure” who will have “a marble bust” of herself sitting in the Capitol during an interview for a not-entirely-flattering New York Times profile.
According to Shane Goldmacher, “Ms. Harris is busy selling books — a lot of them. She is not yet selling herself. Old advisers, both allied and estranged, have squinted from afar at her book tour, wondering what exactly her strategy is, or if there is any at all.”
“She has done little to distance herself from former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. besides admitting aloud that it was ‘recklessness’ on her part not to have discouraged him from running again. There has been virtually none of the strategic repackaging that a future candidate typically does, the buffing out of flaws and shining up of strengths,” wrote Goldmacher, who continued:
Ms. Harris has made clear she doesn’t “feel burdened” — yes, she still uses that phrase — by where she fits in the punditry pecking order or the polls or the cable chyrons. She is enjoying the freedom from what she calls the “transactional” constrictions of campaigning, of asking people for a vote.
Her place in history is already secure, and she knows it.
“I understand the focus on ’28 and all that,” she said in the interview. “But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was.”
In other parts of the profile, Goldmacher observed that “in the year since [her loss], she has not capitalized on” the good will that last year’s campaign bought her, and suggested that “she has mostly been a bystander in the Democratic Party’s raging debate over its direction.”

Yep, a marble bust of her and Willie.
That’s what Willie Brown said.
Kamila HAS made her mark in the world, unfortunately it was a dent.
Harris' primary historical relevance is that she shows how the pursuit of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has eroded a vast number of previously respected institutions.
She was unserious and ineffective as a Vice President, unable to excel in a largely ceremonial role. She clings to her historical importance, even though she cannot point to any notable accomplishments, other than the fact she was selected for the position solely for her physical attributes.
In time, historians will laugh at her brief tenure as the 1st in line to the presidency.
It’s going to be a bust of a Venn Diagram.
Harris’s year-long humiliation ritual continues.
You Will Be A Bust

She will hold a prominent spot in the Walter Mondale museum.
That marble bust will be unflattering too.
I’m hopeful that many future historians will regard she and Joe as illegitimate.
” ... AN historic figure.”
FACE UP-— OR FACE DOWN ???
A venn diagram that does not intersect. Like her speech patterns.
Or how about marble knee pads?
I agree, she is.
Kamala may have been the most defective major party nominee in American political history.
In spite of that, she came within 1%-2% of winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and the White House, in the 2024 Election.
“I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was.””
That’s an indicator IMO that she knows she is done and is content with that. Of course we will see how it plays out. I suspect that she could always be persuaded to run again.
She may or may not be historical, but she IS history.
Who is Kamala Harris and why is she significant in any way, shape, form, or manner.
Zero and less than zero. A negative reflection on the human race. That is, if she even claims to be a member of the species.
Marble? Doubtful. Urinal Cake? That we could make happen...
Being a dullard, Kamala misunderstands shouts of “you’re history”.
Just a Town Drunk , any town she’s in
She should have a small statue in first-grade classrooms to remind students that they have to study hard to learn to spell and speak in complete sentences.
