Kamala Harris seeks to shift focus away from herself? Absolutely.
Kamala Harris wants to move on from the “failed policies” of . . . Kamala Harris and her current boss Joe Biden?
This was the bizarre line of attack the vice president used at a speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh: “We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don’t work.”
Well, for once she’s something most Americans agree with.
We do need to move past Biden-Harris style drunken-sailor spending and handouts to special interests that drive up inflation.
We do need to end the Biden-Harris war on domestic energy production.
Heck, we need to move on from even considering price controls, one of the marquee parts of Harris’ whacked-out economic plan so far.
Trouble is, Harris somehow figures she can pretend she hasn’t been in power for the last four years (it helps that much of the media lets her get away with it).
During which prices have shot through the roof and the border has opened and Iran has emerged resurgent and on and on and on.
She’s plainly trying to slam Donald Trump for these failed policies — though on the evidence, he delivered vastly better results: a world-class economy and far less global conflict.
In other words, Harris is ordering voters to vote for her opponent.
That’s been a theme of her veep pick, Gov. Tim Walz, too: At a rally last Saturday, he railed, “We can’t afford four more years of this.”
That echoes his Dem convention rhetoric: “I’m ready to turn the page on these guys. . . We’re not going back.”
It’s 2024. The problems facing America since 2021 are squarely on the shoulders of Joe, Kamala and Dems generally.
America should turn the page, indeed, but on Harris, Walz and their party.
