CHICAGO - Backstage, as she prepares for a not-so-intimate “fireside chat” about gun safety in front of hundreds of people, Kamala Harris is unscripted and seemingly at ease, no notes or teleprompter in sight.
She’s comfortable offering condolences and counsel to those who’ve lost loved ones to gun violence - who stream in wearing red shirts emblazoned with “Moms Demand Action” or “Students Demand Action.” She holds their hands and looks into their eyes. “We speak their names,” she whispers to one woman.
**SNIP**
Her tenure as Joe Biden’s No. 2 has not been known for relaxed and warm moments like those in Chicago. Instead, Harris’ term has largely been marked by stilted performances at public events, at odds with the uninhibited interrogator she was known as in the Senate. They’ve fueled whispers about whether she’ll be a drag on the reelection ticket as the 2024 race heats up.
Now her political future, and quite possibly the success of the Democratic ticket in 2024, hinges on a simple question: Is it possible for Kamala Harris to make a second impression?
For Harris, it’s a question that fundamentally misunderstands the point. In her mind, she’s the same person she was when the prevailing narrative of her was that of a star prosecutor, ascendant political talent and even the future of the Democratic Party.
“You could have followed me around in Iowa [ahead of 2020],” Harris told POLITICO in one of two exclusive interviews. “You would have seen the same thing four years ago. It’s always who I’ve been. So I can’t get into people’s heads about why they characterize things as being one way or another. It’s not as though I’ve just found myself. I’ve always been here and never went away.”

We know who she is. We have already rejected her.
Best way to ease her out....retire Sen Feinstein, let Newsom appoint Harris to the temp-seat, and then bring in Gov Newsom as new replacement VP....all before we get to 2024 primary season.
Let's savor that moment again....
"It’s not as though I’ve just found myself. I’ve always been here and never went away."
Is difficult for a woman when she puts her “legs up” to climb (cough) ladders
She was also rejected by democrats in the 2020 primaries.
after her website hid the information about her parents (which would be needed to ascertain her constitutional eligibility for Veep or Prez), we have zero interest in anything she does. the country suffered through 8 years of the ineligible-Obama destruction, already
Her weird speech, bizarre logic and disjointed, convoluted reasoning are rather revealing.
I need hearing aids. I thought she said “I can’t give everyone head.”
Yep
If Kamala decides to run for Joe’s job, her campaign theme song should be classic “Eight Miles High” by The Byrds.
Her specialty is with different heads.
It’s easy to get into Kamala’s head...it is totally empty.
The issue, Kamala, is that you got around heads, if you know what I mean.
She’s too busy getting people stuffing things into her head instead.
Kamala fits in well in California. As for the rest of the world...not so much.
“Best way to ease her out....retire Sen Feinstein, let Newsom appoint Harris to the temp-seat, and then bring in Gov Newsom as new replacement VP....all before we get to 2024 primary season.”
And if the parties were still run by power brokers that would be what is done. Feinstein is all about Feinstein. As far as she’s concerned the world orbits her. (Probably the Sun too.) Harris would never accept a “demotion.” Because, as with everyone else in politics, the universe orbits them. The party be damned! I agree that Newsom would probably be a hard-to-beat candidate. Hopefully, the #hit-show that’s the Democratic party will pratfall its way into not giving him the chance.
Now, *cracks knuckles* if the powers that be still have the phone numbers you call when you need a Clinton witness eliminated, Feinstein and Harris would have “accidents.” The plan as you outlined would proceed more-or-less as you laid it out. Let’s hope those numbers were stored in one of the phones Hillary had hammered into fish tank art.
She’s a babbling idiot who makes Biden look like a Rhodes Scholar. That’s why she was selected as Biden’s VP. To make Biden look good. Oh, and she was an affirmative action pick.
Joe begs to differ!
His "number two's" are nothing if not "relaxed and warm!"
