Kamala Harris, clad in a dark pantsuit over a white silk blouse, attempted to deliver her grand closing argument to the American populace as her campaign teeters on the edge of oblivion. Her so-called “Turn the Page” speech might have been meant to grab the headlines, but it was promptly overshadowed by President Joe Biden’s latest gaffe. As reported by others, Biden managed to undercut his own Vice President with some utterly bewildering commentary. It seems the only campaign spotlight Harris can bask in is one that has a hard time shining past her boss’s blunders.
Between Trump and Biden dominating the airwaves, the question lingers: will anyone even remember Harris is still running? Political insiders may argue that Biden’s faux pas are unintentional jabs at his VP, but skepticism abounds. The genuine concern is whether Biden’s divisive rhetoric calling half the American public “garbage” is more than just an accidental slip of the tongue. If the objective is unity, Biden’s remarks are certainly a curious way to foster it, particularly when they seem to deliver a knee to the groin of his own Vice President’s candidacy.

Despite all this, Harris delivered her speech with the level of scripted fervor one might expect from an amateur theater actor reading their first role off a teleprompter. The substance of her address? A hodgepodge of standard liberal fare—demonizing Trump, boasting about her middle-class roots, and denouncing Project 2025—a veritable feast of tired rhetoric that does little to inspire anyone. The absence of any new tonal flair was truly disappointing, especially for an individual who promised so much during her rise to power.
The beginning of her address coincided with a cacophony of blaring sirens. Ironically, those sounds might have been more entertaining than the speech itself, as the public was left wondering if the noise heralded her dramatic exit from the stage. Amidst Harris’ predictable remarks, some loyal supporters cheered her on, while the detractors merely chuckled, observing more recycled political tropes than the refreshing ideas she claimed to present.
Among the more unoriginal themes she revisited were discredited narratives like the “Fine People” hoax and the infamous “Suckers and Losers” accusation. Harris seemed keen to assert that Donald Trump would deploy the military against those opposed to him, conveniently ignoring the fact that her own administration has aggressively hounded individuals connected to the January 6th incident while throwing the book at peaceful pro-life advocates. It’s hard to envision unity with such double standards on display.
Fox News analysis pointed out Harris’ rather dubious comments regarding border security, which seemed out of touch with the realities faced by average Americans living near the border. It’s evident that the threats posed by criminal organizations and illegal immigrants are not mere talking points for political gain; they are genuine concerns for many citizens. Harris’ speech stretched endlessly for just over half an hour, a painfully long time to convey a collection of lackluster thoughts—a stark contrast to the hard-hitting discussions that direct engagement, like those with Joe Rogan, would bring.
As the evening faded, the atmospheric cacophony mingled with a general sense of disbelief at Harris’ attempt to rally a loyal base with cliched lines and a lack of coherent policy. One can only hope that the populace assesses this campaign with the same scrutiny it deserves, ultimately leading to a collective decision at the ballot box that reflects a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.
