In a dramatic turn of events following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not be seeking reelection, the Democratic Party has decided to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their presumptive nominee. Harris has snagged a solid chunk of delegate support and even received a blessing from Biden himself. This endorsement positions her as the Democratic frontrunner. Still, it’s hard to ignore that being a frontrunner in a party facing internal chaos is a bit like being the captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski had a meltdown over the GOP’s tactics toward Harris, suggesting Republicans should find better material than mocking her voice, which she likened to middle school bullying as if anyone needs to be schooled on how to land a solid punchline in political commentary. Alongside her, Mara Gay from the New York Times boldly accused conservatives of resorting to “racist and sexist” tactics when challenging Harris. If the left could trade in their victimhood for a nonstop escape to reality, they’d learn that Americans have a slightly lower tolerance for melodrama than they think.
MSNBC Guest Accuses Republicans Of RACISM Against Kamala Harris.
I don’t know about you but I’m damn tired of being called a racist. I don’t know anyone who is. Not saying they don’t exist. This is the race card Democrats pull out when they’re losing.https://t.co/HAclyRt2pj

In an eye-roll-worthy display of projection, Gay asserted that Trump’s critics default to a narrative of him being a big bad racist whenever challenged. Of course, calling out Harris on her record, including her questionable moments on the campaign trail, is far easier to dismiss as “racism” than deal with actual policy discussions. Gay even invoked the idea that members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority would come marching to the polls like they were prepping for a revival meeting for social justice. One can’t help but wonder if she is hoping for a Doritos-laden snack break after suggesting such a view.
While Harris is marketing herself as the voice of reason with her record as a former attorney general, many voters seem unconvinced. According to CNN’s senior data analyst, her chances of taking down Trump appear as thin as a bowl of soup. Despite the Democrats’ flair for theatrics, Trump’s approval ratings remain resilient, with both ABC/Ipsos and Quinnipiac showing him at his most popular since almost getting taken out by a would-be assassin. Nothing sells better than the comeback narrative, especially when it’s infused with Trump’s brand of unfiltered candidness.
In a not-so-surprising tweet from Donald Trump, he questioned whether Harris thinks Biden is fit to run the country during his remaining term, hinting at the alleged power struggle within the White House. If unelected bureaucrats are doing the heavy lifting while Biden supposedly presides over a ghost administration, it raises questions about who’s really in charge. It’s hard not to chuckle at the thought of Trump, with his loyal base, facing off against a candidate who, despite all the Democratic hype, struggles to generate genuine excitement among the electorate.
What’s clear is that while Harris may be emerging as the face of the Democratic Party, she is trudging uphill against one of the most recognized names in American politics. Polls indicate it’s a neck-and-neck race, but the margin of error leaves plenty of room for speculating that Trump might reign supreme, leaving Democrats regretting their choice to cling to a wannabe leader rather than truly confronting the daring idea of sensible governance.
