Harris’ Liberal Record Hard to Hide from Moderate Voters; Campaign Rhetoric Contrary to Paper Trail; Who is the Real Kamala Harris? Bernie Sanders With Lipstick; Heritage Rips Harris’ ‘dangerously liberal’ Policy Record with New Website, 6-Figure Outreach to Independents
Harris’ liberal record hard to hide from moderate voters; campaign rhetoric contrary to paper trail:
Vice President Kamala Harris is battling to win moderate swing-state voters by burying her liberal record in the Senate.
Ms. Harris served four years as the junior senator from California, establishing one of the most liberal voting records among all Democrats, including self-declared democratic socialist Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont.
When she became vice president in 2021, her liberal voting streak continued. She cast the Senate’s tiebreaking vote a record 33 times to confirm some of the most liberal executive branch appointees and federal judges and to pass nearly $2 trillion in federal spending that many economists blame for driving inflation to near 40-year highs.
The website voteview.com, operated by the University of California, Los Angeles, scored Ms. Harris as more liberal than 99% of the Senate during her tenure from 2017 to 2021.
“While Harris may campaign as a moderate, analysis of her economic record does not support that label,” wrote Judge Glock, director of research and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor at the institute’s publication, City Journal. “In her time in the Senate, Harris positioned herself on the far left of a Democratic Party already moving sharply to the left.”
Ms. Harris left her legislative record far behind when she embarked on the presidential campaign trail, where a voting record to the left of Mr. Sanders won’t play to the crowds of battleground state voters, whom she must win over to defeat her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Ms. Harris has addressed rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and other battleground states but isn’t boasting about her Senate voting record or legislation she co-sponsored while in the Senate or during her brief presidential bid in 2019.
Among those proposals was a 2017 bill she co-sponsored with Mr. Sanders. The “Medicare for All” legislation would have banned private health insurance and created a government-run system open to everyone, including illegal immigrants.
At the time, Ms. Harris called the legislation “the morally and ethically right thing to do.” She said, “It just makes sense from a fiscal standpoint.”
Last week, her campaign pitch in Pittsburgh did not mention that proposal or a 2019 plan she authored that would have required a carbon-free economy by 2030, eliminated gas-powered cars, and ended all new gas and oil drilling leases on public land. —>READ MORE HERE
Who is the real Kamala Harris? Bernie Sanders with lipstick:
Did Joe Biden pull a fast one on his disloyal party?
President Biden claimed in his Oval Office address Wednesday night that he exited the race for the sake of party unity. Nonsense. He stepped aside because he was bullied into doing so, with Nancy Pelosi and the party leadership hauling out the long guns and threatening to dislodge Joe “the hard way,” as Politico reported. Only Nancy, Joe and probably his wife know what ugly mix of carrots and sticks finally got the stubborn octogenarian to bow out.
That said, Biden may get the last laugh.
By immediately endorsing his vice president, Kamala Harris, to take his place atop the Democratic ticket, Joe Biden may get his revenge for the savage attack on his presidency — by his own party, no less. He has shown those Democrats who took him down that he is still in charge, still the president, even if he has difficulty finishing a sentence or navigating his way off a stage.
If Kamala Harris loses to Donald Trump, Biden will claim that, once again, the elite power brokers in his party were wrong. They said he shouldn’t run in 2016 and pushed Hillary Clinton to the front of the line. She lost to Trump. They said he would drag down the party in the 2022 midterms, but Democrats outperformed. They insisted he not run for reelection, and look what happened.
Democrats are not laughing. They know that Harris is a terrible candidate, and look foolish pretending otherwise. In particular, Barack Obama knows, which is likely why he has not yet endorsed Harris and is reportedly “furious” at Biden for short-circuiting the possibility of a mini-primary.
The New York Times recently asked eight of their opinion writers to weigh in on the merits of 10 possible Democratic candidates; almost all dumped on Harris, judging her the least electable of the lot.
Democratic leaders are in a bind, and the left-leaning media, frantically re-writing Harris’s history, is even more distraught. Axios, which dubbed her “border czar” in 2021, just ran an article claiming she had never been given that responsibility (and title), causing much hilarity on social media. GovTrack, a group that tracks legislators’ voting records, recently removed a 2019 web page showing Kamala Harris to be that year’s “most liberal” U.S. senator.
Democrats have created their own mess, and must now dig their way out.
They lied about Joe Biden’s fitness to serve another four years, reordered their primary process to ensure the incumbent a smooth ride to the nomination, and made it nearly impossible for any significant challengers to compete. Had they allowed a more robust primary contest, voters might have seen Biden’s shortcomings and picked a more popular moderate, like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer or Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, to lead their ticket. Instead, they thought they could fool the American people for four more years. —>READ MORE HERE
