emocrats aren’t ready to admit that they have a problem. Until they do, they won’t find the solution. And it won’t come from California, or any place that looks like it.
Joe Biden, mercifully, won’t be back in politics after January. He’s barely there even now. But Kamala Harris hasn’t gotten the hint. Her election concession speech, in which she vowed to ‘never give up’, used the word ‘fight’ twenty times.
According to recent reports, Harris is repeating that theme ad nauseam in calls with allies and donors – you know, the guys who just gave her $1 billion to blow.
‘I am staying in the fight,’ she says.
Harris reportedly plans to spend the holidays huddled with family, discussing her next steps: whether to run again in 2028, run for governor of California in 2026, or both.
And she certainly kicked off the Thanksgiving celebrations in true form, releasing a bizarre, ranting video – leaning into camera and slurring her words on Tuesday evening. In the clip, she reassured Democrats that ‘you have the same power that you did before November 5’. But that’s not how elections work.
Nor is ‘don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you’ really on-message for an outgoing administration that has spent four years emphasizing the so-called threat to democracy of people who can’t accept a loss.
The video – presumably staged from a San Francisco living room – had a makeshift backdrop, complete with an obligatory American flag and what appeared to be drawn curtain fabric.
It says right on the label not to mix Xanax with alcohol.
Now you tell me!
