Kamala Harris recently gave the public a masterclass in how not to handle a media interview during a segment with Bret Baier. Arriving 15 minutes late, she set a rushed tone that allowed for an unfocused exchange filled with her usual rhetorical tricks. It’s become a commonplace occurrence for the Vice President to dodge straightforward questions, and her latest performance was no exception. As she floundered through her responses, it became evident that her team realized they were in deep trouble. Talk about a train wreck.
The real kicker? Harris’ supporters may have been touched by her feigned emotions, but it’s unlikely that any undecided voters were charmed by her evasive word salads. People pay attention when politicians engage with the issues that matter, not when they put on an Oscar-worthy display. The American public deserves better than this political theater, yet Harris continues to think that a little emotional manipulation will suffice for real substance. Spoiler alert: it won’t.
Just when one might think that the scrutiny could not get any worse, a New York Times “expert” made an eye-raising confession regarding Harris’s book scandal. To hear someone from that particular publication describe her work as “plagiarism” raises serious questions about the integrity of her scholarship. Imagine the uproar if a conservative figure like Donald Trump had been caught doing something similar. The media would have a field day, but for Harris? It seems to be crickets.
Meanwhile, in the world of politics, the race for the Senate in Texas is heating up. Senator Ted Cruz appears to be broadening his lead over his Democratic challenger, Colin Allred, as the dust settles from their recent debate. It seems that Cruz’s steadfast values resonate more with voters than the flagging attempts of the opposition. The Democrats keep losing ground, and regardless of what “October Surprise” the anti-Trump faction is planning next, one can only hope that their efforts continue to backfire spectacularly.
As U.S. District Court proceedings unfold and the Supreme Court prepares for its next session, the ongoing political drama shows no signs of letting up. With former President Trump continuing to dominate headlines and his legal battles persisting, it’s clear he remains a force to be reckoned with. While many are torn between the legality and the ongoing criticisms, the truth is that the left’s attempts to sideline Trump only seem to galvanize his base even further. The more they push, the more resilient his support appears to be. As the upcoming election draws closer, all eyes will be on Trump’s legal entanglements and whether the left can finally land a blow—or if they’ll find themselves again holding the bag when all is said and done.
