Kamala Harris thought the honeymoon to her campaign was in full swing.
She’s starting to watch the political dynamics of the race shift.
Now Kamala Harris is worried sick after an Obama official gave her this reality check.
Questions grow about Kamala Harris’ avoidance of the press
Vice President Kamala Harris had an approval rating lower than President Joe Biden in July when he was still in the race.
Democrats widely thought she couldn’t win a Presidential race because of her propensity to commit gaffes and unpopularity.
Harris watched her 2020 Presidential campaign crash and burn after she entered the Democrat Primary as one of the frontrunners.
The more voters got to see her, the less they liked her.
That’s why she dropped out of the race before a single vote was cast after she was polling in the low single digits.
Her current Presidential campaign staff – and the Democrat Party in general – took this lesson to heart.
Harris is running a version of the basement strategy that Biden ran in the 2020 election.
The Harris campaign is the most carefully scripted and choreographed campaign in history.
Her grating cackle has even disappeared since she entered the race.
She can be seen holding back from laughing at her rallies.
Democrats know that they have to keep voters from seeing the real Harris by keeping her from committing a gaffe or regurgitating a word salad.
Harris hasn’t given an interview or taken serious questions from the press since she entered the race.
The only time she speaks in public is when she is at a campaign rally with a teleprompter parked in front of her.
Harris is riding the wave of good media buzz and pop culture being mobilized in her favor.
Former Obama official says Harris can’t hide
Hiding for the press and refusing to answer questions is starting to catch up to Harris.
Even one of her allies in the media said she couldn’t keep this up.
CNN political commentator Van Jones – former President Barack Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” – warned that Harris couldn’t keep ducking the press forever.
Jones said that Harris was busy getting the nomination, putting together a campaign team, and picking a Vice President, but the excuses were running out.
“So I’m not mad that she’s not doing 15 interviews a day, but it can’t last,” Jones said. “It’s very important. And we can‘t make favorites. Anybody running for the top office needs to be as available as possible.”
Former President Donald Trump told streamer Adin Ross during a recent interview that Harris couldn’t handle the tough questions.
“She can’t talk to people. She can’t answer questions,” Trump said. “She hasn’t done one interview … she’s not doing any interviews because if she did one interview where a hard question’s asked, she’s incapable of answering it.”
Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky told CNN host Kate Bolduan that Harris is going to run a $300 million ad blitz to build her image with voters.
“She’s going to spend her $300 million defining herself on TV and on social media the way she wants, right?” Roginsky said.
Kamala Harris wants voters to see a carefully created caricature of herself.
