Vice President Kamala Harris took to the stage in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday, attempting to rally support for her presidential bid. The California liberal, who has struggled to make a name for herself in the Democratic Party, took aim at former President Donald Trump, but her efforts were overshadowed by a peculiar accent she adopted during her speech.
Harris’s claims about her record and the Biden-Harris administration’s stance on border security were met with skepticism, as they are at odds with the reality of the situation. The administration’s handling of the border has been widely criticized, and Harris’s attempts to spin their record as tough on the border are unlikely to resonate with voters.
The event also featured appearances by Sen. Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams, but the real focus was on Harris’s performance. Her decision to adopt a strange accent has raised eyebrows, with many wondering who on her team thought this would be a good idea. The tactic has been tried before by other politicians, including Hillary Clinton, but it has never been successful.
Harris’s record is also a major liability, with many questioning her accomplishments and qualifications for the presidency. Her attempts to highlight her record and contrast it with Trump’s are unlikely to be effective, as Trump has already shown a willingness to attack her and make her a national punchline. If he is able to do so, Harris’s candidacy could be over before it even begins.
