If Kamala Harris, deemed unelectable by her own party just a month ago, were to win the 2024 presidential election, it would represent a grim moment for the USA and an increasingly perilous world. China and Iran are likely licking their lips in anticipation. A Harris victory would not reflect her leadership abilities or policy vision but rather highlight the media’s efforts to obscure her significant failings. The media’s recent campaign to shield Harris from scrutiny, driven by their disdain for Donald Trump, demonstrates a disgraceful commitment to replace her historically unviable image with a fabricated, glowing narrative.
The 2024 presidential race has unfolded unusually, with Harris emerging as the Democratic Party’s final option following Joe Biden’s abrupt withdrawal. Despite her glaring inadequacies, such as poor performance in office and dismal favorability ratings, polling even behind Joe Biden, Harris has become the party’s standard-bearer in its desperate bid to avoid another Trump presidency. Her campaign strategy mirrors that used for Biden in 2020: keeping her out of the limelight to avoid exposing her substantial rhetorical deficiencies.
Harris’s tenure as Vice President has been marked by a series of failures. Her role as “border czar” was particularly disastrous, with her handling of the immigration crisis proving ineffective. Her misguided attempt to deter migrants from traveling to the U.S. failed to address the crisis, resulting in record levels of illegal border crossings. Her inability to make any meaningful impact on this crucial issue has only fueled public dissatisfaction.
Beyond her ineffective handling of immigration, Harris’s past policy positions and statements further undermine her candidacy. Her support for the Black Lives Matter movement, efforts to defund the police, and advocacy for social benefits for illegal immigrants place her at odds with mainstream sentiment.
Harris’s communication skills, or lack thereof, present another significant liability. Her public speaking is frequently criticized as incoherent and lacking in substance. This issue has persisted throughout her vice presidency, contributing to a broader perception of her as a poor orator – a serious impediment for someone seeking the highest office in the nation.
Moreover, Harris’s political experience is notably limited. Her brief Senate tenure before becoming Vice President left her with minimal legislative accomplishments and few deep political connections. This lack of substantial experience is evident in her ineffective handling of major issues and her general inability to navigate complex political landscapes. Herperformance has been marked by a series of failures and missed opportunities.
The media’s role in Harris’s recent surge is deeply troubling. Instead of holding her accountable, many media outlets have engaged in a deliberate misleading distortion of her public image. Their focus has shifted to crafting a favorable narrative while sidelining critical analysis. As the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board has noted, “Kamala Harris is all but telling Americans they’ll have to elect her to find out what she really believes, as the Vice President ducks interviews and the media give her a free ride.”
This media favoritism not only distorts public perception but also undermines the integrity of the democratic process.
The left’s decision to support Harris despite her insurmountable flaws underscores a broader strategic calculation. Unable to hide Biden’s decline and facing a formidable opponent in Trump, Democrats have turned to Harris as a last-ditch effort, willing to go to any lengths to secure their final hope. This reflects a ruthless willingness to prioritize defeating Trump at allcosts over finding a capable and effective leader. This same approach led to the selection of Joe Biden in the first place.
Should Harris secure the presidency in 2024, it would be less a victory for her as a leader and more an indictment of a political system and media landscape willing to go to any lengths to deny Trump a win. Given the attempts to weaponize the courts and Justice Department against him, and the heinous assassination attempt, this outcome should not be surprising.
If Kamala Harris ascends to the presidency in 2024, it will not be a triumph of leadership or vision – it will signal the collapse of democratic integrity. Harris’ potential victory would starkly reveal a political and media apparatus so desperate to thwart Trump that it would elevate a dangerously unfit and divisive candidate, repeating the methodology that resulted in the failed Biden Administration.The media’s relentless efforts to fabricate a favorable narrative around Harris, until weeks ago considered politically toxic, highlight the extreme measures mainstream newsrooms elect to follow to deceive the public to win at all costs.
Trump was right to signal the dangers of fake news in the mainstream media.
