Kamala Harris has taken her talents to The Weather Channel, leaving many to scratch their heads and wonder what exactly is going on in the Vice President’s office. It’s hard to fathom why a supposed leader in crisis management is taking time out of her busy schedule to appear on a network dedicated to meteorological updates. A little hint: she’s trying to polish a tarnished image, but the rest of the country is seeing through the smokescreen.
The Vice President insists on positioning herself as an expert on hurricane severity, revealing groundbreaking knowledge that a category four hurricane can cause catastrophic damage. One has to wonder—was there a betting pool on how long it would take her to find a way to turn a weather report into a political stage? It’s almost comical to think that she believes she’s providing a unique insight to the professionals at The Weather Channel. What’s next, a tutorial on how to read a thermometer?
This is what a 9 feet storm surge looks like.
Hurricane Milton is forecasted to bring a 15 feet storm surge to some parts of Florida near Tampa Bay 🇺🇸

Harris recently called for restraint in emphasizing hurricane downgrades, suggesting the difference between a category four and five hurricane isn’t as significant as it might appear. This unsolicited advice is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. While she’s out there trying to manage the narrative, everyday Americans are grappling with the reality of impending storms, and they surely don’t need a half-baked lecture from their Vice President on hurricane semantics.
This latest stunt just goes to show how out of her depth Harris truly is. During times of natural disaster, it’s clear—if she’s at the helm, everyone is in peril. People might be inclined to feel more secure if she remained on the sidelines, perhaps posing for staged photos with a smile rather than delivering her brand of baffling rhetoric. After all, anyone in an actual crisis would prefer a leader who understands the gravity of the situation rather than who’s game for a chat on the weather.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Milton is barreling toward Florida, with forecasts indicating an alarming storm surge that could reach up to 15 feet in some areas. Certainly, no expert needed to direct the citizens of Florida on the implications of that kind of threat—except perhaps a seasoned disaster response team rather than their current Vice President. Harris might want to reconsider trading the weather reports for real leadership; the next storm may not allow her the luxury of a phone call.
