Kamala Harris has kept her debate strategy quiet so far. But that has all changed.
And Harris has made a terrifying debate promise that has Americans worried.
As we approach the September 10 ABC News presidential debate, all eyes are on Vice President Kamala Harris. But what are Americans really expecting from her? If recent reports are anything to go by, it seems that Harris is more focused on launching attacks against former President Donald Trump than on presenting any real, substantive policies of her own.
This calculated move raises serious questions about Harris’s transparency and honesty as a candidate. Is it acceptable for someone vying for the highest office in the land to remain so silent on what she truly stands for?
According to an NBC News report, Harris’s team is gearing up for the debate with a clear strategy: agitate Trump, rattle him, and present herself as a strong woman who is unafraid to stand up to the former president. The plan, it seems, is less about presenting concrete policies and more about creating a spectacle.
But what does this say about Harris as a candidate? In a political climate where Americans are desperate for solutions to the problems plaguing the nation, Harris’s focus on attacking Trump rather than discussing her own plans is not only disappointing but also deeply concerning.
If Harris is truly confident in her vision for America, why does she appear so reluctant to share it with the public?
Since securing the Democratic nomination, Harris has been notably silent on her policy positions. It took over a month for her to give her first interview, and even then, it was filled with vague statements and empty rhetoric. Her lack of transparency is troubling, especially considering her track record, which is arguably the most radical of any candidate in modern American history.
In her interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris claimed that she and the Biden administration had worked tirelessly on immigration reform, only for Trump to supposedly sabotage their efforts.
However, this narrative falls apart under scrutiny. The so-called “bipartisan” pro-migration border bill that Harris blames Trump for k*lling was opposed by nearly all House and Senate Republicans, as well as many Democrats, because it failed to include amnesty for illegal aliens and would have allowed tens of thousands of weekly illegal border crossings.
This selective storytelling is emblematic of Harris’s approach to her campaign. She seems more interested in spinning half-truths and deflecting blame than in offering genuine solutions. Her refusal to engage with the public on the issues that matter most suggests that she either doesn’t have a plan or knows that her plans would be deeply unpopular with the American people.
Harris’s radicalism is not just a matter of speculation; her record speaks for itself. As a senator, she was ranked as the most liberal member of the Senate, even to the left of Bernie Sanders.
She has consistently supported policies that would fundamentally transform America, from advocating for the Green New Deal to pushing for Medicare for All. These proposals, while popular among the far-Left, would have disastrous consequences for the economy and for everyday Americans.
Yet, despite this radical record, Harris remains coy about her intentions. Instead of openly discussing her vision for America, she hides behind attacks on Trump and vague promises. This lack of transparency is not just frustrating; it’s dangerous. The American people deserve to know what they’re voting for, and Harris’s refusal to provide that clarity is a betrayal of the democratic process.
Harris’s silence extends beyond just her radical policy positions. On key issues that matter to Americans, she has offered little more than platitudes. What is her plan for addressing the border crisis? How does she intend to tackle inflation and the rising cost of living? What are her views on the growing threat of China? On these and other critical issues, Harris has been conspicuously quiet.
This silence is particularly troubling given the current state of the nation. Americans are facing unprecedented challenges, from economic uncertainty to geopolitical threats. They deserve a leader who is willing to confront these challenges head-on, not one who avoids difficult questions and hides behind empty rhetoric.
The upcoming debate presents a crucial opportunity for Harris to finally lay out her vision for America. But if her strategy is to focus on attacking Trump rather than engaging with the issues, it will be a missed opportunity not just for her campaign but for the American people. This election is too important to be reduced to cheap political theater. The stakes are too high.
As the debate approaches, voters should demand more from Harris. They should demand that she be honest about her plans, her policies, and her vision for America. They should demand that she stop hiding behind attacks on Trump and start engaging with the issues that matter to them.
If she refuses to do so, it will only reinforce the perception that she is the most radical and un-transparent candidate ever to seek the presidency.
At the heart of Harris’s campaign is a fundamental question of honesty. Can the American people trust a candidate who refuses to be transparent about her policies? Can they trust someone who has consistently dodged tough questions and deflected blame? Harris’s silence on these issues is not just a tactical decision; it’s a reflection of her character as a leader.
Leadership requires more than just standing up to political opponents. It requires honesty, transparency, and a willingness to engage with the public on the issues that matter. Harris has so far failed to demonstrate these qualities, and it raises serious concerns about her suitability for the highest office in the land.
As voters, we have a responsibility to demand more from our leaders. We have a responsibility to hold them accountable and to insist on honesty and transparency. Kamala Harris’s campaign, with its focus on attacking Trump rather than engaging with the issues, is a disservice to the American people. It’s time for Harris to stop hiding behind rhetoric and start answering the tough questions. The American people deserve nothing less.
