Kamala Harris is relying on the image the media created of her.
Her campaign is little more than a carefully scripted Hollywood production.
And Kamala Harris made one bad mistake that is going to cost her big time.
Kamala Harris plagiarizes Joe Biden for her agenda
Vice President Kamala Harris is relying on the media-generated image of her as a pop culture phenomenon to power her to victory.
Normally, a Vice President runs on continuing the legacy of the administration they served in.
But Kamala is trying to distance herself from President Joe Biden.
The country is a mess under the Biden-Harris administration with a cost of living crisis, rising crime, and a historic border crisis.
She’s trying to pitch herself as the change candidate in the election with the help of the media and cast former President Donald Trump as the incumbent.
Kamala hasn’t laid out an agenda and has barely put out any policy since becoming the Democrat Presidential nominee.
Her campaign website didn’t have an issues section until nearly seven weeks after she entered the race.
Kamala finally added an issues section called “A New Way Forward.”
It was filled with vague ideas but no concrete proposals.
The source code on the issues revealed that it was copied directly from Biden’s old campaign website.
A user on X noticed that the page mentioned helping re-elect Biden.
“Join our campaign to re-elect Joe Biden today!” Kamala’s website stated.

Being linked to Joe Biden is a huge problem
There’s a very good reason that Kamala is working overtime to distance herself from Biden.
A New York Times/Siena poll found that 60% of voters want the next President to be a “major change” from Biden.
Kamala’s website is another small reminder that she is a continuation of the Biden-Harris administration’s legacy of failure.
Her “New Way Forward” is the same failed agenda with better packaging.
She is going to have a hard time convincing voters that she is going to be the candidate of change.
The Times poll found that only about 25% of voters thought that Kamala was a major change from Biden.
She hasn’t done anything to distance herself from his agenda.
During her only interview since entering the race, Kamala told CNN’s Dana Bash that she didn’t have any regrets about the administration’s economic record.

Kamala’s campaign is based on ignoring policy to run on good vibes and media-generated hype.
But there’s evidence that this campaign strategy isn’t sustainable.
Trump was leading her 48% to 47% in the Times poll.
An NPR/Marist Poll – one of the most Democrat-leaning pollsters – found that Kamala was up 49% to 48% over Trump.
Kamala has given one interview since she entered the race and hasn’t held a single press conference.
This basement strategy could be running out of momentum.
“More than anything, voters say they want to hear more about where she stands on the issues, something her campaign has seemed to struggle to lay out,” New York Times data guru Nate Cohn wrote.
If Kamala Harris can be defined by Donald Trump and the GOP as Biden’s second term, then she will be in deep trouble on Election Day.
