In a twist that could rival the plot of any political drama, Corey Lewandowski, a senior adviser to former President Trump, has brought attention to the ticking time bomb that is Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. With the presidential election looming, Harris has officially entered the “do or die” zone, with a countdown clock that could almost be heard ticking in every newsroom across America. It seems Harris has taken more time to prepare for her first media interview than it takes Congress to pass a budget—an impressive feat in itself.
Lewandowski highlighted the absurdity of Harris’s campaign strategy, or lack thereof, by noting her scarily long gap before she finally sat down for an interview, just days shy of the upcoming presidential debate. While the clock is winding down, Harris has taken over 20 days to grace the public with her presence in front of cameras, leaving many to question whether she’s preparing for the debate or auditioning for a role in a comedy sketch. The mystery deepens with the revelation that her campaign reportedly requested modifications to the debate rules. Nothing says confidence like wanting a cheat sheet before stepping into the ring.

The insistence that everything should be changed to accommodate her suggests an air of desperation. Harris’s peculiar desire to stand “the same height as Donald Trump” and perhaps have a few notes handy speaks volumes about her preparation, or lack thereof. Lewandowski pointed out that this campaign’s inability to face media scrutiny should cause concern for any journalist who takes their job seriously. After all, what are they supposed to do while waiting for a candidate who seems to be avoiding the public like a bad haircut?
As the political saga unfolds, Lewandowski believes Trump’s path to the 2024 Republican nomination has become all the clearer, especially after President Biden effectively exited the narrative following a lackluster debate performance in June. With Harris now taking center stage as the Democratic nominee, the deck appears stacked in Trump’s favor. It’s as if the Democrats handed him an invitation to reign supreme, making Trump’s chances of winning resemble a layup on a basketball court—a fact that surely has Democratic strategists sweating bullets.
Meanwhile, the upcoming debate promises to be a colorful affair, especially with the added excitement of seeing whether Harris can make it through Dana Bash’s interview without stumbling over her own words. Trump himself took to Truth Social to express skepticism about Harris’s readiness, playfully suggesting that she may be “totally inept” for the job she’s vying for. Judging by the previous chaotic scenes in this political circus, viewers can expect a thrilling broadcast worthy of prime-time television—complete with the anticipation of potential missteps that could easily be memed into viral gold.
