The clock is ticking down to the 2024 election, and it appears that Hillary Clinton is still stuck in the time warp of 2016. During a recent discussion, she shared her thoughts on Vice President Kamala Harris and advised her to avoid repeating history’s mistakes. Clinton boldly claimed that Harris doesn’t have the looming presence of FBI Director James Comey—who famously announced the reopening of her email investigation shortly before the last election—watching her every move. This was her way of saying that Harris may have an easier path ahead, but some wonder if that’s the case.
Critics, including Fox News contributor Joe Concha, pointed out that Clinton still seems stuck in her past grievances. It’s as if she forgot everything she learned about accountability. After her 2016 defeat, Clinton blamed a laundry list of factors for her loss: the Democratic National Committee, sexism, the media, and even those pesky informed voters. Concha listed all the excuses she offered in 2016, leaving the audience with one burning question—what does she think about her loss? Perhaps, just perhaps, the true reason was that she miscalculated her appeal and left swing states like Wisconsin out to dry, believing she had the election in the bag.
Meanwhile, clutching the remnants of her campaign wisdom, Clinton pointed out a supposed double standard in how the media covers Harris. She argued that while the press scrutinizes Vice President Harris, they don’t seem to apply the same critical lens to other politicians, particularly not Donald Trump. Concha, however, brought the hammer down, insisting that Harris’s lack of substantive responses to crucial questions—including her vision should she win the White House—highlights a major issue for her campaign. Regarding it, voters need to know who they’re supporting, and Harris is still shrouded in ambiguity.
The irony is palpable; Harris has yet to hold a solo press conference in five years. With the election just around the corner, it seems like a baffling strategy for her campaign. Instead of generating excitement and positivity, it appears they have opted for the heavyweights of political despair—Clinton and Liz Cheney—hardly known for radiating optimism. This combination doesn’t seem like a winning formula, and Concha believes that this move is merely desperation on the part of the Harris campaign.
In other election news, Donald Trump seems to be on the upswing; his favor is growing as polls indicate he may be leading nationally and in the electoral college. Amidst this political landscape, he was even asked about potentially pardoning Hunter Biden should he regain the presidency. Trump described the situation involving Biden’s son as “sad” but stopped short of committing to any kind of action, possibly viewing it as a risky political maneuver. The implications of such a decision could be monumental, especially considering the current political climate where Biden has been accused of going after individuals he believes deserve punishment.
With just days before voters head to the polls, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The political landscape is a swirling blend of nostalgia, criticism, and calculated moves, leaving voters with a smorgasbord of options for the future. Whether they choose the path paved by memories of Hillary’s hubris or take a gamble on what’s next, one thing is clear: the 2024 election promises to be anything but dull. As the deadline draws near, the spotlight is on Harris, the Democrats, and the unpredictable winds of change that could sweep through the election.
