New in PJ Media:
The New York Times wants you to know, and spent over 3,000 words on Tuesday explaining why, that “Kamala Harris Isn’t Ready to Be Written Off.” The subhead on this interminable puff piece is “She was seen for two decades as a future face of the Democratic Party. Is she now suddenly a figure of its past?,” and of course, the Times’ answer is a resounding no. And yet there is a peculiar note in the Times’ article that is simultaneously both full of braggadocio and elegiac, as if Harris were conceding defeat while insisting it was really a victory all along.
What does it say about the Democrat hopefuls for 2028 that Kamala Harris, who failed spectacularly as a presidential candidate in 2024 and then quickly lost her initial name-recognition advantage in early polling for 2028, is now the object of an all-out Times effort to reverse her fortunes? Do Times top dogs really find the prospects of Newsom, Buttigieg, Booker, and the rest really that dim? Apparently, they do if Kamala Harris is suddenly once again the candidate of choice.
And that’s exactly what she seems to be. The Times leads off its adoring profile with this: “The one thing that Kamala Harris absolutely, definitely, most certainly does not want to talk about is whether she is thinking about running for president again.” It even attempts to capture her vapid valley-girl cadences, continuing: “‘It’s three years from nooooow,’ the former vice president pleaded in an interview last month, sitting in a leather chair backstage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville before one of the final stops on her nationwide book tour. ‘I mean, honestly.’”
Yeah, honestly. How could anyone possibly be thinking of 2028 now? The Times is sad that she seems to be paying so little attention to the upcoming election, no matter how far off it may be: “There has been virtually none of the strategic repackaging that a future candidate typically does, the buffing out of flaws and shining up of strengths.” This is in part because poor Kamala has the sads: “Defeat hit Ms. Harris deeply. She had not felt such grief since the death of her mother, she has said, a line that sears even as she repeats it so often as to become a talking point. She spent the early months of 2025 cooking and cocooning away from the cameras.”
Now, however, the Times thinks she has been sad for long enough, and it’s time to get to work: “But it has been a year since her loss to President Trump, the traditional period of mourning.” Yet despite its best efforts, there just isn’t all that much here to work with.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Whether she’s ready or not, her political career is dead. In 2020, she dropped out even before the Iowa caucus, since she blew all her money (the same way she did in October 2024 paying the likes of Beyonce and Oprah).. If she dared run, I’ll wager that there’s no Democrat who’ll avoid contesting in deference to her. All the various factions will have their candidates – be it AOC, Gavin Newsome, Josh Shapiro, Roy Cooper/Andy Basheer and so on
Her political career is over, regardless of whether or not she wants to concede it

She is doing her book tour now? Trying to get other women who also have low self esteem to buy her ghost written book about if you sleep with the right people and sell your soul cheap you always should get what you want if you do not cry about it to anyone stupid enough to listen. Her and her new hubby Doug should just disappear on many vacations ,take up new hobbies like painting ,yoga ,eating alot of THC edibles and sitting in paint then sitting on paper and selling it for alot of money like Hunter Biden. Do hang gliding ,swim with whale ,swim with sharks ,swim head long into the path of large oil tankers , anything so that we the voting public do not have to watch or listen to your idiotic alphabet soup speeches ,or see your idiotic facial expressions ,or your mad jokers laughing every time you get upset or forget your canned lines.

I’m guessing the Democrats are going to run the American Psycho himself, Gavin Newscum next election. Cackling Kamala will probably be Vice President candidate as she ticks all the diversity boxes. Michelle Obama as the wildcard.

I do not see any democrat putting Kamala on their ticket as vice president running mate ,everyone saw the shit show race she ran in 2024.She Kamala is past her sell by date. There are better choices for VP that carry less baggage ,are easier on the ears and eyes that do not laugh like an insane super villain every time they get stumped by a simple question.

Newscum can’t make her VP, since they’re both from Californication
