Are Americans ready for Biden 2.0?
If they elect President Kamala Harris in 2028, that's what the country will get. During last year's campaign, the former vice president didn't even pretend to offer any changes to the disastrous Biden presidency. Harris notoriously told Sunny Hostin that he asked her what she might do differently from President Biden: "There is nothing that comes to mind." This is probably the meanest person of all her campaigns.
After all, Biden has not completely thrilled the entire country by allowing millions of people to enter the country illegally, adopting an expensive green agenda, embracing DEIs in every federal agency, or driving inflation through multi-year highs of overspending. When the vote shows voters begging for change - the candidate should be obliged.

In many ways, it is surprising that Kamala Harris once again created a slight buzz for the chances of running in the Oval Office. So far, it's indeed "slight", mainly in the hope that campaign advisers hope to cash in on another multi-billion dollar campaign, and frankly, for the joyful Republicans who love opportunities, Harris should be nominated for the Democratic Party.
Last week, there were endless chats about former vice president and California senator as Harris finally showed up from the witness protection program. This is her first public appearance in five months.
She appeared before a group that supported Emerge, which “provided cutting-edge tools and training for aspiring (Democratic) female leaders to run for and win elected positions.” Harris may not be the most compelling example of effectiveness.
After all, Harris not only lost to Donald Trump, but also lost every swing state and popular vote, despite spending more than $2 billion, including money from the Super PAC. Remember that even the generally disliked Hillary Clinton won 2.3 million votes in 2016. Harris not only lost big, but also delayed her party, and Democrats also lost four Senate seats, and their majority.
Since Harris was not considered a successful vice president, he received negative benefits almost throughout his tenure and given her poor performance last year, why would anyone consider giving her a second chance? Just because Democrats are in trouble. Now that Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden retire from the view, Barack Obama is invisible and Chuck Schumer is battling the main challenge of representing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York.
Harris is the last national figure with a substantial name recognition, yes. But the Party’s dilemma goes beyond its lack of leadership. Democrats have no information or platform either. All they have is hatred for Donald Trump.
At the party that appeared, Kamala Harris made a brief appearance in a slammed Trump, responding to the refusal and lies being popular among his critics. She has not provided new policies and no idea how to make Americans better.
This is not a winning formula. The president continues to receive a higher approval rating than the Democrats for Donald Trump’s failed polls and all the unpopular reports. A recent CNN/SSRS poll showed that when respondents were asked who would do better as president, 45% chose Trump, while 43% chose Harris, consistent with last year's election results. Additionally, an opinion poll conducted by ABC News/Washington Post/IPSOS began in late April, reporting that when respondents were asked who they trust to deal with the country’s main problems, 40% chose Trump, while only 32% chose Democrats in Congress.
In his speech that appeared, Harris unconsciously revealed the basic problems of her party. She mentioned “inspired by leaders within the scope, including Congressional leaders such as Cory Booker, Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, AOC and Bernie Sanders, all of whom speak in different ways in a morally clear way.”

Note that the cited “leader” is the most progressive member of her party. They didn’t speak “differently” nor did they “cross spectrum.” They all plunder like most Americans dislike the huge left-wing taxation, the big government plunders. Democrats, including Kamala Harris, are in the liberal faction of their party, which will continue to kill them.
For Democrats, progressives unfortunately locked in the party’s energy and money. It is the AOC and Bernie Sanders who can call the “oligarchs” through private jets, echoing an early speech by Bernie Sanders, who warned that billionaires were… again… again… again… again. Sanders has been sending the same horrible alarm about the oligarch for decades, and now others join the ship.
According to Sanders and his pose, Elon Musk and other tech CEOs pose a threat to our country, but only if they support the Republican Party. Oligarchs like Bill Gates, Mark Cuban or George Soros who support Democrats obviously don't pose a threat to the country.

Harris made a mistake by tying himself to the left of the party. Gallup polls have always shown that only a few (25%) in the country consider themselves “liberal” or “very free”, while 37% say they are “conservative” or very conservative, while 34% say they are “medium.” How do Democrats win elections if only one quarter of the country is ideologically?
In 2016, Hillary Clinton was mainly because supporters of Bernie Sanders did not vote for her. In 2020, Joe Biden adopted Bernie’s platform in exchange for support from Vermont socialists and won the victory. But embracing Bernie’s love for a new green deal, open borders and attacks on the wealthy failed to get Harris to the finish line last year. It won't win in 2028, either.
