In a recent opinion editorial by Kennedy for the Daily Mail, the author expressed disappointment over the absence of Beyonc at the Democratic National Convention, where Kamala Harris delivered a significant speech.
Kennedy had anticipated the presence of the pop diva, following rumors and a TMZ report suggesting her backstage presence at Chicago's United Center. However, the author described the situation as a "big-head fake," likening it to the overall experience of the convention.
Kennedy criticized the attempts of Hollywood celebrities, including Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington, to bolster the event, ultimately labeling it as Harris's "night to forget." The author questioned Harris's political credibility, noting her lack of significant national addresses and her failure to win a single Democratic primary vote in the 2020 race. Kennedy also pointed out that Harris has yet to sit for a media interview or hold a serious press conference more than a month into her White House tenure.
The author scrutinized Harris's speech, which focused on her personal story, and her sudden shift from a left-leaning stance to a more moderate one. Kennedy expressed skepticism over Harris's promises to lower the cost of everyday needs and protect Social Security and Medicare, questioning the feasibility of these pledges.
Kennedy also took issue with Harris's praise of Joe Biden, arguing that if Biden had done an excellent job, there would be no need for Harris to propose fixes. The author criticized Biden's federal government spending, which they believe worsened the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 and led to mass inflation.
Finally, Kennedy dismissed Harris's call for unity and a move past the divisive battles of the past, citing her aggressive approach during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. The author concluded by describing Harris as a "placeholder who's heavy on promise and light on substance," predicting a potential downfall following the initial excitement of her candidacy.
