Don Lemon is finding out the hard way that polling Kamala Harris supporters is akin to searching for a unicorn during a blizzard. In his recent foray into interviewing Americans about the Vice President, he sat down with Jen Psaki from MSNBC and stumbled across a startling realization: a significant number of folks across the country had no idea who Harris even was. Lemon’s typical smooth demeanor faltered as he delivered this shocking revelation, leaves many chuckling over their morning coffee.
In cities like Pittsburgh and the Jersey Shore, people are way more aware of who Donald Trump is than they are of Harris. When asked whether they believed Harris could do a better job than Trump, many respondents simply replied with shrugs and blank stares. The notion that she might somehow top Trump’s record, particularly on economic issues and community outreach, just doesn’t seem to resonate, even among her supposed base. This is quite amusing, as it showcases the gap between media narratives and the actual sentiments of everyday Americans.
Trump has dedicated considerable effort to courting African American votes. During his presidency, he produced tangible benefits for communities across the country. So, when Lemon discussed the stark contrast between Trump’s recognition and Harris’s invisibility, it became a comedic brutally honest moment. Though Harris has been coasting on identity politics and talking points, she remains largely unknown. She’s like a version of “Where’s Waldo?” that you don’t even bother looking for because you forget what Waldo looks like.
Lemon, in what some could call a gentle admission of the blaring truth, suggested that Harris might need to “reintroduce herself” to the public, a statement that sounds a bit absurd coming from someone who has held high office for nearly four years. The reality is, Harris’s ongoing struggle to establish her identity may revolve more around her carefully crafted persona and less about actual achievements. This is precisely what makes her campaign akin to a poorly executed product launch; too focused on flashy branding and not nearly enough substantive content.

As for the game’s playing field, the Anderson Cooper-esque strategy of pandering to emotions while avoiding tackling any concrete issues—a hallmark of Obama’s strategy—might be insufficient this time around. With the Left’s penchant for radical ideologies on full display, even the media’s predictable support for Harris isn’t enough to cover up her significant shortcomings. She might want to take notes, and perhaps a few pointers from the original “blank screen” himself, considering her current approach makes it painfully obvious she is still trying to distract the audience from her lack of substance.
If Harris were a movie, she would be the low-budget indie film that won’t get any box office sales because no one knows what it’s even about. As things stand, Don Lemon’s discovery isn’t just comic relief; it’s a wake-up call. With swing states prepared to play a deciding role again in the 2024 elections, the question remains: how will Kamala Harris shift gears to actually get recognized before it’s too late?
