Kamala Harris has recently attempted to do damage control following President Biden’s less-than-flattering remarks about Trump supporters. Instead of calling out her boss’s inflammatory language, she danced around it, parading the claim that Biden merely “clarified” his comments. This obfuscation raises immediate red flags about her sincerity and commitment to uniting the American populace.
In her political rhetoric, Harris has repeatedly declared her intention to serve as a president for “all Americans.” She positioned herself as a beacon of hope, promising to represent those who don’t support her, which sounds noble on the surface. However, the simple truth is that this is the same worn-out line that Biden trotted out in 2020, only to have his presidency veer sharply left as soon as he took office. If Biden’s actions were an indication of where his presidency was headed—armed with a progressive agenda that would establish far-left policies as the new norm—then believing Harris will somehow be different is a stretch.
Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Believe Kamala When She Says She’ll Be a President ‘For All Americans' https://t.co/nRZEfaXdxR

Harris’s campaign advisor went on MSNBC to reinforce this message but conveniently ignored past actions. The assurance that Harris will disregard voting records when making decisions might remind one of the transparent playbook from the Obama-Biden era, in which voters were assured they wouldn’t face backlash for their beliefs, yet many were instantly subjected to policies that they vehemently opposed. Thanks to Biden’s embrace of a “governing from the left” mentality, it is abundantly clear that Harris’s promises should be taken with a grain of salt.
There is little doubt that when Kamala Harris positions herself as a champion for “all Americans,” she is, in reality, a San Francisco progressive who likely has only the faintest notion of what middle-of-the-road governance looks like. Let’s not forget that she has a track record of labeling dissenting views as nothing short of fascism or worse. It begs the question: how can she genuinely represent a demographic she has historically vilified?
While Biden may have managed to appear more centrist than Harris—an admittedly low bar—he still implemented policies that disproportionately favored his liberal base. There is a prevailing sense of skepticism surrounding Harris’s ability to be anything other than a pawn in the left’s radical agenda. Those who are considering crossing party lines to support her merely because of their disdain for Trump ought to beware. Voters who fall for another promise from the left, a promise of unity that is anything but, might end up with a taste of the bitter fruit of regret.
