Recent polls suggest that Kamala Harris' strategy of relying on charisma and "joy" may not be resonating with voters, who expect more substance from a presidential candidate, according to an opinion editorial by Nick Arama of RedState.
The piece suggests that Harris has failed to provide specific plans or deliver results during her time in office, leading to dissatisfaction among the public.
The article highlights a recent interaction between Democratic strategist Kelly Hyman, a Harris surrogate, and Fox host Sandra Smith. Smith questioned Hyman on Harris' plan to lower prices, a topic of concern for many Americans. Hyman's response, according to Arama, was vague and unsatisfactory.
Hyman mentioned Harris' proposal for a federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries, but when Smith asked if price gouging was currently happening, Hyman was unable to provide a definitive answer. Arama criticizes this lack of clarity, suggesting that if price gouging isn't a confirmed issue, Harris' plan appears to be a deflection from her own role in driving inflation.
The opinion editorial further criticizes Hyman's response when Smith pointed out her difficulty in articulating Harris' plan. Hyman accused Smith of interrupting her, which she deemed disrespectful. Arama argues that this accusation was an attempt to deflect from her inability to provide a clear answer.
Arama concludes his piece by suggesting that this incident exemplifies the lack of substance in Harris' team's plans. He questions why Harris is proposing solutions to unconfirmed problems and suggests that this lack of clarity could deter voters.
In Arama's view, this episode underscores the need for more substance and less rhetoric from Harris and her team. He suggests that voters are looking for clear, actionable plans, not just charisma and "joy."
