Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have stepped back out into the news cycle this week. Did anyone miss them?
The Biden-Harris presidency, which felt like it lasted an eternity, is fading from memory, but it really should not. The scandal that was the cover up of Biden’s declining cognitive condition should be fully investigated and exposed, and while some former White House staffers have pleaded the Fifth, others – like former chief of staff Ron Klain and Mike Donilon – have had looser lips. But one person who has not yet been called to testify is the former vice president herself.
With Kamala Harris announcing her new book – as well as declining to run for governor of California – it does seem to look like the former vice president is attempting to position herself to run again for president in 2028. However, we should all remember that her first run for president was a disaster, and her second run for president was handed to her on a silver platter – and she lost all seven of the swing states. There is no reason to believe that the third time will be the charm for Kamala, especially not with a wide open Democrat primary field that will be aiming straight for her jugular vein.
The real question everyone is wondering about right now is what kind of dirt Kamala Harris has in her new book. I doubt she will spill much tea, mostly because she can’t afford to burn bridges and still run for office again. But she could shift a lot of the blame onto the Biden White House, his staffers, the Biden campaign staff that she inherited, and Joe himself – especially because Joe kept insisting that there be “no daylight” between the two of them on any issues. That insistence probably helped short-circuit Kamala when she was on “The View,” being tossed softball questions and absolutely whiffing them. That book of Kamala’s comes out in September, and whatever she told the ghostwriters is already being printed.
