Kamala Harris has rolled out a new memoir called 107 Days and announced a multi-city book tour to promote it, a predictable post-defeat circuit where former politicians cash in on sympathetic late-night spots and soft-focus magazine profiles. The tour stop list and the publisher’s push make clear this is about managing a brand as much as it is about journalism or public policy.
Megyn Kelly seized on one of Harris’s promotional clips and couldn’t help but laugh at the vice president’s insistence that she’s filling small theaters and packing in audiences — a line that’s meant to signal energy but reads more like a consolation prize. Kelly dismantled the staged charm offensive on her show and in commentary, arguing that the performance reveals how thin the substance really is behind the optics.
Contrast the pomp with the reality: some tour stops did move quickly, with tickets selling out at local venues, but those sellouts often reflect intense local interest or media-packaged enthusiasm rather than broad national momentum. Filling a theater in Portland or New York looks good on a poster, but it does not translate into command of the country or the respect of the silent, sensible middle.
Conservatives should not be distra cted by left-wing celebrity theater tours presented as evidence of a political comeback; the left has perfected the marketing of cultural moments to paper over policy failures and messaging flops. Harris’s campaign and her time in office were marked by fumbling explanations and policy missteps, and now we are treated to glossy vignettes and staged laugh lines to distract a gullible media.

The bigger point is about media malpractice: when cable hosts and late-night interviewers treat book tours as if they were civic affairs, they normalize celebrity over competence and applause over accountability. Megyn Kelly’s ridicule of Harris is not just mean; it’s a reminder that Americans deserve leaders who can hold a room for reasons other than scripted empathy and photo ops.
If conservatives want to win hearts and votes, we should call out these hollow theatrics and keep pushing the issues that matter to working families — the economy, law and order, and secure borders — rather than letting the left set the narrative with sold-out stages and celebrity endorsements. Americans are tired of spin; they want results, not book-tour theater.
