Unintended consequences are unintended. The Biden family arguably inflicted significant damage on the Democratic Party by keeping the aged Joe Biden in office beyond his prime; the Democratic Party further harmed itself by 1) appointing Kamala “Queen of Word Salads” Harris as the successor without consulting a single primary voter about their opinion. Despite these missteps, this may ultimately benefit the country.
New York University professor and leftist podcaster Scott Galloway, in a recent episode of his podcast “Pivot,” recognized the initial issue accurately. The follow-up analysis? Not as much.
Harsh language follows:
In a recent episode of his “Pivot” podcast co-hosted with journalist Kara Swisher, Galloway contended that former President Biden’s mishandling of the 2024 election for the Democratic Party will define his “legacy.”
Speaking of how Biden ensured former Vice President Kamala Harris would be his replacement on the campaign trail last year, he said, “The reality is she was not a strong candidate and President Biden and his family’s narcissism have severely (expletive deleted) this country. Severely. And that is his legacy.”
So far he’s right. And he even had a notion as to how they should have proceeded after old Joe’s shockingly bad debate performance.
Galloway added that Harris was “not a great candidate,” though he praised her efforts in trying to replace her boss. “I think she did a good job given the hand she was dealt with, but this is a candidate who didn’t make it to Iowa four years earlier, which says to me America didn’t think of her as a great candidate.”
And that’s where he goes wrong.
Kamala Harris didn’t do a good job. She did a perfectly awful job. She picked the worst possible running mate in Tim “Great Walz of China.” She is an execrable public speaker. In their one debate, Donald Trump absolutely defenestrated her. Her campaign staff was the worst; recent reports indicate they didn’t even tell her how bad their internal polling numbers really were. It’s all coming out now, and the Democrats are spinning like gyroscopes trying to put lipstick on the pig that was Kamala Harris’s campaign.
