Well, it looks like Gerald Ford’s daughter, Susan Ford Bales, just threw her endorsement behind Kamala Harris for 2024, and honestly, it’s a bit baffling. I mean, we’re talking about a Republican legacy here, the daughter of the guy who stepped in after Nixon and tried to patch things up post-Watergate. But now, she’s endorsing a candidate who’s about as far from Gerald Ford’s brand of steady, moderate leadership as you can get.
Bales claims that Harris is the kind of “serious, compassionate, and honorable” leader we need to guide the country, just like her father did. Now, let’s pause here. Kamala Harris? That Kamala Harris? The one who, as vice president, has pretty much been a ghost for the past four years, unless she’s showing up to chuckle her way through a botched answer about why she hasn’t fixed the border crisis? The one who made a mess of her presidential campaign in 2020 before Biden swooped in to make her his running mate? That’s who we’re supposed to believe will bring the country together and “restore trust in democracy”? Susan, are we even watching the same person here?

Sure, Bales admits that she and Harris “likely disagree on some policy matters”—which is an understatement if I’ve ever heard one—but somehow that’s all swept aside because of Harris’s so-called “integrity.” It’s almost laughable. This is the same Kamala Harris who smeared Joe Biden as a racist during the Democratic primaries, only to do a 180 and jump on his ticket. Real profiles in courage right there.
And let’s not forget Bales’s ominous reference to January 6th. Apparently, she believes that anyone even tangentially associated with Trump is a ticking time bomb of constitutional destruction. Never mind that Trump offered peace on that day and has consistently called for law and order—it’s all part of the left’s playbook to paint the entire right as extremists.
The bottom line is this: Bales’s endorsement of Harris is a total misfire. She’s abandoned the conservative principles her father stood for in favor of a politician who embodies everything wrong with the modern Democratic Party—weak on leadership, big on divisive rhetoric. Endorsing Kamala Harris isn’t just a political choice; it’s a rejection of the very ideals her father once defended. Ford may have helped heal the nation, but Harris? She’ll be lucky if she can find her way out of a press conference without cackling awkwardly.
