Kamala Harris, the former vice presidential candidate, has been a prominent figure in the American political landscape, yet her reluctance to discuss certain topics has raised eyebrows.
Her persistent evasion of certain subjects has only served to pique public curiosity, a tactic that seems to be part of her strategy.
According to RedState, the American populace managed to avoid two significant threats last year. One was a near-miss incident involving Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The other was the successful evasion of having Kamala Harris, who they describe as lacking intellectual prowess, in the White House.
Despite her electoral defeat, Harris continues to make her presence felt in the American public sphere. She is currently on a public relations campaign to promote her book, which details her failed $1.5 billion presidential campaign. This comes after Joe Biden was abruptly removed from the ticket, and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer stepped in to position Harris as the party's replacement leader in the November election.
Pelosi and Schumer's decision to back Harris was not based on her suitability for the presidency or her intellectual qualifications. Instead, it was a calculated move to avoid the backlash they would face if they didn't support the first black female vice president. They hoped that by allowing Harris to face defeat on her own, they could finally distance themselves from the controversial figure who was Biden's blatant attempt to secure black votes.
This strategic move by the two veteran Democrats disregarded the party's primary schedule, which was designed to ensure Biden's re-nomination. They ignored nearly 17 million Democrat primary votes, none of which were for Harris.
In her book promotion campaign, Harris has made some questionable statements, but she is clear about who she believes is to blame for the historic election failure. It's not her.
The mainstream media's selective coverage of perceived divisions within the two major political parties was also discussed. The media tends to focus on alleged splits within the Republican Party while downplaying similar developments among Democrats. As the midterm elections approach, it is expected that Republicans in Congress will show more signs of political independence, prioritizing self-preservation over loyalty to their White House leader.
The unusual element in this pre-election period is the internal strife and political stagnation within the Democrat Party. They have yet to publicly acknowledge or address their role in the prolonged concealment of their incapacitated president, Joe Biden, and their futile attempt to keep him in office for another four years.
The party's adherence to an aging leadership devoid of energy and fresh ideas is a consequence of this. Their only offering to voters is the tired mantra of "Trump is bad," a sentiment that has been echoed for the past decade.
The Founding Fathers set minimum ages for Congress membership, but they did not foresee the rise of career politicians and thus failed to set a maximum age. As a result, figures like Nancy Pelosi, who is 85, have had long tenures in the House. Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois will have served in Congress for 44 years when he retires in 2027.
The upcoming mayoralty of Zohran Mamdani in New York City is a cause for concern. The Muslim mayor-elect, who takes office on January 1, has made a series of radical promises and statements, including the need to abolish the police and globalize the intifada, an Arabic term for uprising, rebellion, or resistance to authority.
While free speech applies to Mamdani, his radical views and policies raise serious questions about the stability of the nation's most populous city as we approach the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 Muslim terror attacks. The question remains whether the annual observance of that horrific event will be a commemoration or a celebration in a city that is now home to approximately one million Muslims.
