The Reintroduction of Kamala Harris
The New York Times | Yahoo ^ | July 5, 2024 | By Erica L. Green

SELMA, Ala. — By early this year, around the time a prosecutor called President Joe Biden a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Vice President Kamala Harris already knew something had to change.

It was up to her, she had told allies, to finally distinguish herself in her job — something she had been struggling to do for more than two years — and reassure American voters that the Biden-Harris ticket was still a safe bet. She had been feeling sidelined in the early stages of the campaign, one adviser said, and she wanted a bigger role.

She fled the Washington bubble and embarked on an ambitious travel schedule, making more than 60 trips this year alone. She tossed talking points to speak out more forcefully on abortion rights, the war in the Gaza Strip and race. She invoked her personal story more often, from her mother’s influence on her life to her inspiration for becoming a prosecutor.

Her allies emphasize that she has been taking on a bigger role for some time, notably after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago and during high-profile foreign assignments. But even before the questions about Biden’s age and acuity burst into the open, people close to her say, she was looking for more powerful ways to support the ticket.

Now, the effort to reintroduce herself has reached its most critical moment, with Biden’s candidacy plunged into crisis after a devastating debate performance in Atlanta and Democrats seriously weighing the prospect that she could become the nominee.

And while Harris, 59, has shown steadfast support for Biden in the frenzied week since the debate, her allies insist she is the only logical choice to lead the ticket if he steps aside.

They’re stuck with her.

Here’s the problem.

I was downtown at a gas station and this african-american father of a young boy was sporting a “Let the Juice Loose” shirt with a picture of Orinthal on it.

Thinking ain’t got nothing to do with it.

She had a bigger role from almost day one. The border. And what did she do? Nothing.

They are not capable of rational, logical,independent thought. They are like children but a lot more dangerous.

Wait. She was assigned to manage the border, and she flubbed that royally. That was big enough to test her with, and she couldn’t handle her responsibility at all.

Then she gave us word salads at every point in time.

The woman is in way over her head. Totally a diversity hire.

Not surprisingly, no mention of the fact that she’s the border czar and that the border is now essentially erased.

It doesn’t seem to have a thing to do with it.

The media has no shame. Communism is their religion.

I remember the media made a big deal, when she visited a border patrol station near El Paso, Texas. That seems to be th extent of her actions related to the border.

This article should end any and all speculation that the mass media whores have learned anything from the Biden debacle.

They are just doubling down on the gaslighting.

“And what did she do? Nothing.”

Maybe that’s what she was supposed to do.

Dems need to reenact the 2020 Biden campaign for Kamalala.

Keep her in a basement with little to no contact with the US. And then steal another election.

From Selma, huh. That place where little Barry was just a twinkle in his daddy’s eye where he marched. The demwits always lie.

I don't remember that. But I do remember AOC fake crying at a fence near the border.
