Vice President Kamala Harris, once a proud banner holder of progressivism, is attempting an impressive political pirouette as she edges toward the center of the political spectrum. This slick maneuver comes as she tries to sweep her leftist history under the rug, but mainstream media reporters aren’t about to let her get away with it. As Harris moves from her 2019 ultra-progressive platform—complete with plans for federal inmate gender transition surgeries and the decriminalization of hard drugs like cocaine—to promising tougher border policies, the surprise is not so much the shift, but the audacity behind it.
Back in her presidential bid, Harris promised to hold oil executives accountable for their supposed climate sins, likening their actions to those of Big Tobacco. Fast forward to today, and it seems she’s having a change of heart; suddenly, she’s touting record oil production like a cheerleader at a Friday night football game. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski highlighted this dramatic about-face, pointing out that the once self-styled eco-warrior is now standing shoulder to shoulder with the same oil companies she once threatened with criminal prosecution. What happened to the fierce advocate for environmental justice? Apparently, she’s trading her green ideals for political pragmatism.

The transformation continues as Harris previously declared she would investigate fossil fuel executives, but now she and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are proudly declaring their support for fracking—something that not only puts food on the table for thousands of residents but also fits their sweeter, more centrist approach leading into 2024. This adjustment seems to have sent her Green New Deal off to the political backwoods, buried alongside her ban-the-plastic-straw movement. A quick check of her campaign website reveals that the radical policies of yesteryear are conspicuously absent from her current platform, raising eyebrows and skepticism alike.
Kaczynski didn’t hold back in calling out Harris for flipping on the issue of the Trump border wall, which she once condemned as a “monument” against American values. Now, she’s touting it as a vital part of her new “tough-on-border” strategy. It’s a masterclass in political opportunism when a politician can go from vehement opposition to outright endorsement faster than you can say “2000-mile wall.” Harris has managed to defay the gravity of a previous stance that was supposedly rooted in deeply held values—what are those values when they blow away with the next election wind?
In fact, even CNN anchor Erin Burnett was taken aback by Harris’s radical past, incredulous at her previous support for taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for detained migrants. The spectacle drew chuckles from viewers, who were left wondering how one person’s starkly leftist past could be reconciled with the center-leaning future she has crafted for her campaign. Harris’s shift left Americans questioning whether her true self had been summoned back from the depths of the progressive abyss, or whether she’s simply playing the political game to keep her party’s hopes alive in a polarized landscape. At the end of the day, it might just be a case of “if you can’t beat them, join them”—or, in this case, try to fool them.
