Kamala Harris’s Joe Biden Problem by Victor Davis Hanson via X.com
A selected Kamala Harris will become the only presidential nominee of the two parties in the modern era, who has never once entered, much less won, a single primary.
And it is hard to think of a single statement or position that Kamala Harris has not suddenly disowned or now rejected.
It is near miraculous how for three-and-a-half years Kamala Harris was the Biden administration’s megaphone for its hard-left craziness.

She was the go-to emissary to the radical Democratic base. Yet now she seems to be copying Trump on secure borders, legal only immigration, support for law enforcement, and fracking.
Still, when the Kamala hysteria subsides, Harris may well suffer the fate of Michael Dukakis, as James Pierson recently noted.
After the giddiness of the July 1988 Democratic convention, the Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis was leading incumbent president George H.W. Bush in the Gallup poll by 17 points.
Yet he was crushed by Bush in November by a 7.8 points. Why and how?
Bush’s politico Lee Atwater in series of brutal but accurate ads (the tank fiasco ad, the Willie Horton revolving door ad, the polluted Boston Harbor ad, etc.) accurately redefined Dukakis (a far more capable, kind, and well-spoken official than Kamala Harris) as an unapologetic Massachusetts far-left liberal.
And by the way, the 1988 election was the last time Republicans won 51 percent of the presidential vote. Apparently, the Republican party grandees decided never again to “lower” themselves to the Atwater level. And so, they have gone on to lose “nobly” seven of the last eight popular votes.
One of the most demagogic Harrisisms was her 2020 claim that the pseudo-martyr Jussie Smollett was a victim of American racism and homophobia. Here is what she gushed:
“Jussie Smollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern-day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”
The Left until late June used to refer to her as our “border czar.” And indeed, she insisted the nonexistent border was “secure,” even as her own administration unapologetically welcomed an influx of 10 million illegal aliens.
In her role, Harris envisioned dismantling ICE, opposed the wall, and did not consider illegal entry into the U.S. a crime.
