On December 16, 2025, Fox News’ The Five lit into the latest Democrat déjà vu: reports that former Vice President Kamala Harris is quietly gearing up for another run at the White House in 2028. Conservatives watching this reheated drama should not be surprised — the left has a habit of circling back to the same tired contenders, convinced that recycling old faces will somehow change outcomes. What matters to hardworking Americans is policy performance, not personality theater, and Harris’s record offers plenty of ammunition for critics.
Even some inside the Democratic orbit admit this won’t be a smooth coronation. High-profile strategists have openly suggested Democrats are torn between nostalgia and the practical need to move forward after last November’s defeat. That internal friction is not just petty infighting; it’s a sign of a party that has lost touch with the voters who actually pay the bills and keep the lights on.
Let’s be blunt: the Harris pitch to voters would have to overcome a long list of liabilities — from chaotic border policies to skyrocketing costs and the cultural rot in our cities that Democrats pretend not to notice. Americans are exhausted by leaders who offer platitudes while crime, inflation, and open-door immigration policies erode middle-class stability. Any campaign that ignores these hard facts will quickly find its support limited to newsroom applause and coastal cocktail parties.
Fox hosts didn’t hold back, and neither should we. The network’s commentary rightly points out the hypocrisy of a party that preaches competence while constantly recycling figures associated with failed policies. If Democrats want to rebuild, they should be looking for fresh, credible faces who can actually win — not reheating the same mistakes and expecting a different result.
The idea that Harris would naturally lead a Democratic primary because she’s a familiar name is laughable; familiarity in politics cuts both ways. Voters remember the mixed record, the gaffes, and the times she seemed more focused on optics than outcomes. Conservatives need to highlight those memories and remind swing voters what real accountability looks like.
This is also a wake-up call for Republicans: do not assume victory is guaranteed because the left is fumbling. Organize, keep the message focused on prosperity, secure borders, and safe streets, and expose the contrast between conservative results and liberal rhetoric. The American people respond to competence and common sense, not virtue-signaling and recycled celebrity candidates.
We should expect the media to try to build a narrative of inevitability around Harris to prop up the Democratic brand, but grassroots America isn’t fooled. When headlines try to manufacture momentum, remind your neighbors of the policies that matter in their daily lives. That kind of local, boots-on-the-ground truth-telling wins races far more reliably than TV punditry.
If Kamala Harris does jump into the race, conservatives must be ready with a clear, unapologetic defense of liberty, free markets, and traditional values. The Democrats have already shown they can’t have nice things because they prioritize identity and ideology over practical solutions. It’s up to patriots everywhere to hold the line and make sure the next election is about restoring America, not repeating the same old mistakes.
