Kamala Harris has maximized her campaign’s honeymoon with the help of the media.
Her charmed life is about to come to a screeching halt.
And Donald Trump made one prediction that is the worst news possible for Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris’ good luck will end
Vice President Kamala Harris has ridden a wave of media hype and renewed Democrat enthusiasm after entering the race.
She hasn’t answered any serious questions from the press, given an interview, or held a press conference since she became the Democrat Presidential nominee.
Her campaign has put out no major policy positions other than stealing Trump’s idea to not tax tips at a campaign stop in Las Vegas, Nevada – a funny position to take since she cast the tie-breaking vote that authorized the IRS to spend extra resources going after service industry workers’ tips.
The media has become outright cheerleaders for her campaign, with puff pieces not seen since the Obama era.

The Harris campaign is riding on a sugar high of hype and good feelings.
But that’s all about to end, according to former President Donald Trump.
He predicted that the honeymoon for the Harris campaign was coming to an end during the press conference.
“Oh, it’s gonna end. The honeymoon period’s gonna end,” Trump told reporters. “Look, she’s got a little period. She’s got a convention coming up.”
The campaign is going to shift toward policy
Trump said the race would come down to policy.
“It’s not about her. I think she’s incompetent because I’ve watched her. She destroyed California. She destroyed San Francisco. Everything she’s touched has turned to bad things,” Trump said. “I want to use — I’m not going to use foul language, but everything she’s touched has turned bad. She’s incompetent.”
The former President noted that Harris has ducked interviews with “friendly” media.
“Because she can’t do better than Biden,” Trump explained. “Now, he had a reason for not doing well, and he was never — 25 years ago, the sharpest or brightest bulb in the ceiling, that I can tell you. Ok, he wasn’t, but he could do interviews. At least, not lately, he couldn’t, perhaps, but she should be doing interviews.”
Trump thought that Harris didn’t want to do interviews because she didn’t want to explain her policies.
“She wants to open borders,” Trump explained. “She wants to defund the police . . . She wants to take away your guns. Anybody that thinks they’re not going to come after your guns — you know, when I was President, I totally protected the guns, and I think it’s very important.”
He noted that Harris crashed and burned when she ran for President in 2020.
“She was the first loser when, during the primary system, during the Democrat primary system, she was the first one to quit,” Trump said. “And she quit. She had no votes, no support, and she was a bad debater, by the way. Very bad debater. And that’s not the thing I’m looking forward to, but she was a bad debater. She did, obviously, did a bad job. She never made it to Iowa.”
Kamala Harris is trying to coast until Election Day without any scrutiny about her far-left policies.
But the pendulum is going to start to swing against her with Trump and the GOP going on the offensive.
