Harris campaign is as inauthentic as she is

Harris’s honeymoon period is over, and her polling is coming back down to earth as voters start to see her as the same political mediocrity that Democratic presidential primary voters saw in 2020. Harris is now trailing former President Donald Trump in the RealClearPolitics polling average in every swing state except Wisconsin, which liberal pundits are now warning is because of Harris’s lack of enthusiastic support from minority men, to which Democrats are accustomed.

Harris’s team has launched an overt campaign to win those men back, and it is as inauthentic as she is. It includes Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), her running mate, pretending he is a masculine macho hunter while seemingly forgetting how to use a shotgun. In the middle of this effort, Harris took to a media blitz full of interviews that don’t appeal to men with outlets that are already in her pocket, including a sit-down with whiny liberal Howard Stern, an appearance on a women’s sex podcast, and a discussion with left-wing activist “comedian” Stephen Colbert.

All the while, Harris is clumsily trying to portray herself as a centrist while walking back every radical left-wing position she held during her 2020 campaign. Harris has consistently avoided media that would offer mild pushback, even ducking liberal Time magazine. (Harris has only now finally agreed to a sit-down with Fox News on Wednesday.) Harris has also tried to shoehorn herself into hurricane preparations in Florida, staging phone calls with friendly Democratic leaders to make it look as if she is presidential.

Harris’s inauthenticity extends to Walz, who has fabricated several details of his life story and was similarly hidden from media for much of the campaign. Walz even accidentally gave the game away on Harris’s supposed centrist posture, calling for the Electoral College to be abolished at a rally only to awkwardly try and clean it up later.

Harris is an inauthentic candidate, which is why she can’t function without a teleprompter or scripted answers about how she “grew up a middle-class kid.” Her campaign is similarly inauthentic, staging videos of her and Walz and trying to coast on media narratives about how she is just a centrist former prosecutor and Walz is a macho hunter and football coach. This entire fast-tracked campaign is an attempt to mislead people about two lifelong left-wingers who crumble under the slightest scrutiny, taking their cues from the chameleon at the topic of the ticket.
