Kamala Harris’s debut as the Democratic nominee was exactly what many expected—a train wreck. Thrust into the role after Joe Biden was forced out, she had one job: project confidence and competence. Instead, what the American people saw was a flustered, uncertain Harris who let her running mate, Tim Walz, do most of the talking.
And the response from her team? Blame the chair. Yes, you read that right. Harris aides insisted that the real issue wasn’t her inability to answer tough questions, but rather the height of her chair. From that moment on, anyone interviewing her had to meet a strict list of demands regarding chair size, leg height, arm height, and cushion firmness. Because, apparently, a firm chair would somehow make Harris a stronger candidate.
The reality? Harris wasn’t struggling because of bad furniture—she was struggling because she had no real message. She tried to praise the Biden administration while simultaneously distancing herself from its failures. And all the while, Biden himself was micromanaging her from the sidelines, making sure she didn’t stray too far from the party line. “No daylight, kid,” he reportedly told her before her first debate with President Trump.
But Harris didn’t just fail to inspire confidence—she made things worse. In her first big interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, she bizarrely promised to put a Republican in her cabinet, an idea that had zero support from her party. She also flip-flopped on fracking, suddenly declaring that it would be forever permitted in Pennsylvania—despite years of promising to enshrine radical climate policies like the Green New Deal.
Her debate performance against Trump? Another disaster. Her scripted talking points fell flat, and when challenged, she defaulted to her usual nervous cackle—a reminder of why she dropped out of the Democratic primaries before voting even began.
The media quickly caught on to the Democrats’ game plan: run out the clock and avoid scrutiny. Harris’s campaign, much like Biden’s, relied heavily on fear-mongering about Trump rather than offering any real solutions.
And after the election? Harris and Biden were barely seen together. The former president, clearly bitter about being pushed aside, started taking not-so-subtle shots at his own VP in his final interviews.
By the time she packed up to leave the White House, even her own allies admitted the truth: Kamala Harris was a failed experiment that Democrats were desperate to forget.
