Kamala Harris must be feeling the pressure because, let’s face it, things are not looking great for her right now.
After dodging interviews for weeks, she finally caved and agreed to sit down with a friendly network. But here’s the kicker—she had to bring along her “emotional support Governor,” Tim Walz, to help her out. Even CNN’s Scott Jennings didn’t hold back, calling the move “weak sauce.” And he’s right. If you’re running for the highest office in the land and can’t handle a solo interview, that’s a problem.
Harris is going to have to step up and start sounding like she knows what she’s talking about, but so far, it seems like she’s coasting on nothing more than vibes and unicorns. Meanwhile, she’s busy trying to repurpose some of Donald Trump’s policies, which is just about as transparent as it gets.
Let’s not forget the bizarre stunt she pulled on Wednesday. Harris posted a letter from someone named “Tucker,” who claimed to be “fairly conservative” and thanked her and Joe Biden for their “efforts to establish common sense gun safety laws.”
The letter was so obviously misleading that it almost seemed like a parody. Anyone with a pulse could see that the name “Tucker” was a deliberate nod to Tucker Carlson, which was clearly meant to deceive. And the content? No conservative would write a letter praising “common sense gun safety laws” in such glowing terms. It was laughable and, frankly, a bit sad.
Tucker, thank you for writing to me. While we may not agree on every issue, we both know that every person in our nation should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. The majority of Americans stand with us in support of commonsense gun safety legislation. pic.twitter.com/HUdgFUcKtt

People even started to wonder if the letter was AI-generated because it just didn’t pass the sniff test. The real Tucker Carlson couldn’t resist joining the fun, penning his own tongue-in-cheek letter from “Kamala.” He parodied her supposed moderate progressivism, painting her as someone who “doesn’t believe in law enforcement, national borders, or the right of American citizens to exercise fundamental human autonomy.”
The whole thing was a masterclass in satire, complete with hearts over the “i’s” and a sign-off that read “OXOXO” with a smiley face. Carlson’s letter was so over-the-top, it practically finished her off in one fell swoop.

At this point, Harris’s campaign is looking more like a series of missteps and stunts than a serious run for the presidency. And if this is how things are going now, one has to wonder what’s next. But after Tucker’s letter, it’s hard to imagine anything could top that.
