Staff Reports
Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing to hit the stage at a campaign rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the countdown to the election gets dangerously close—less than ten days left on the clock. Scheduled to start her speech at a primetime 5:30 p.m. Eastern, it seems Harris is hoping to muster up just enough enthusiasm to distract voters from the political circus that has been the Biden administration.
This rally comes on the heels of a weekend jaunt through the Midwest, where the Democratic Party was graced with appearances from not just Harris but also former First Lady Michelle Obama, who spoke in Kalamazoo. One can’t help but wonder if their plans include a six-part series titled “How to Lose Elections with Style.” After all, their star power is waning as rapidly as gas prices are rising.

Pennsylvania, the crown jewel of battleground states, is being touted as the most critical piece of real estate for both sides. Former President Donald Trump seems to be inching ahead, leading Harris by a scandalously slim margin of less than 1 percentage point, cloaked in the dubious shadow of polling data from RealClearPolitics. So, what’s the strategy here for Harris? More talk about progressivism? A cheerful reminder of inflation and crime rates? One can only guess.
Harris’ rally aims to rally the troops—if only to convince them that everything is just fine in the land of inflation and border crises. The campaign might as well hand out blindfolds as attendees enter, so they won’t be bombarded with the stark realities of everyday life under Democrat rule. Will she mention the eagerly anticipated economic data reports? Doubtful; better to stay focused on the upbeat narrative when reality feels like taking a fatal plunge.
As the countdown winds down, political strategists on both sides are likely already popping Tums as they begin hypothesizing about what a second Biden term could look like—spoiler alert: probably more executive orders, more taxes, and a heaping side of far-left policies to alienate the average American. So, it’s clear that in the battle for Pennsylvania, Harris and her Democratic comrades have their work cut out for them if they want to make up ground. Let’s just hope they have better luck than they did last time around—after all, winning isn’t everything, but losing decisively puts them one step closer to a new career in daytime television.
