Harris Weak Point Revealed

On Friday, former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza cautioned that former President Donald Trump could launch particularly damaging attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris, who supported several left-wing policies during her 2020 presidential campaign, selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for 2024—a choice that aligns with her progressive stance on issues like immigration and transgender policy. On his YouTube channel, Cillizza noted that by choosing Walz over the more moderate Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Harris may have made herself more susceptible to criticisms targeting her liberal views.

“I think it would have been a smart, symbolic message to send, to pick someone like Shapiro, who’s like clearly a moderate and ran as a moderate to say, like the whole like San Francisco liberal thing, ‘Sure, you can say what you want about me, but look, my first and only big decision in this campaign is to pick a guy who’s an avowed moderate,’ right? I do think the most dangerous thing for Harris is this attack on her liberalism,” Cillizza said. “She’s from the coast; she’s from San Francisco. She has a pretty liberal voting record in the Senate, and she took a number of very liberal positions — banning fracking, supporting the Green New Deal, supporting Medicare for All, a mandatory buyback of assault weapons. She took a lot of positions in the 2020 campaign that I don’t think people have really sort of known about or detailed.”

As a senator, Vice President Kamala Harris advocated for several left-wing legislative initiatives, such as promoting diversity in the government workforce, environmental justice, eviction moratoriums, and work authorization for certain undocumented migrants. She also drew controversy by comparing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the Ku Klux Klan and expressing support for the “Defund the Police” movement. However, since launching her 2024 campaign, Harris has shifted some of these positions.

Why didn’t Kamala Harris select Shapiro, a popular governor of the most important swing state in America?

Because he’s a Jew.

“Now, she’s tried to walk those positions back very quickly since she became the nominee, but to me, the argument that the Trump campaign needs to make is this person is too liberal,” Cillizza said. “And Walz … I don’t think he’s terribly liberal — certainly not liberal tonally, but liberal on policy, maybe, in terms of what he’s done in Minnesota. I think putting Shapiro on the ticket, she could have pointed to that and been like, ‘Look, I want to be someone for the whole Democratic Party and the whole country.’”
