In the world of politics, there is one common theme that runs through every presidential campaign: the idea of a leader who is intelligent, articulate, and capable of guiding the country through challenging times. Presidents like John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and others have become role models for this ideal. However, not all politicians possess these qualities. Take Kamala Harris, for example. While she may have been chosen as Joe Biden’s running mate in the 2020 election due to her age and energy, she has proven to be just as incoherent as her boss.
Recently, the Trump campaign released an 82-second ad highlighting some of Harris’ most famous flubs and missteps. Among them, her puzzling statement on the “passage of time” during a speech in Louisiana in 2022, where she talked about the importance of high-speed internet. The ad also included a clip from just a few days ago, where Harris struggles to explain the role of community banks, saying they are “in the community, led by members of the community.” And let’s not forget her wise words on space: “Space is exciting!” This ad serves as a harsh reminder of why Harris is just as disliked as her running mate.
Some may argue that a politician’s occasional verbal slip-ups should not be taken too seriously. After all, Thomas Jefferson, who is hailed as one of the greatest presidents in history, was reportedly not a great public speaker. However, there is a significant difference between Thomas Jefferson and Kamala Harris. Jefferson may have struggled with public speaking, but his political accomplishments and intellectual prowess far outweighed any flaws in his delivery. Harris, on the other hand, lacks the same level of intelligence and critical thinking skills that are necessary for a leader. This is particularly worrying when you consider that she could become president if anything were to happen to Biden during his term.

Harris’ selection as Biden’s running mate in 2020 and her presence on the 2024 ticket were likely influenced by the belief that she could serve as a younger, sharper candidate, in case anything happened to the older, more frail Biden. However, the ad released by the Trump campaign has exposed a crucial flaw in this strategy. At a time when America is facing numerous challenges, including a global pandemic, economic uncertainty, and social unrest, having a back-up plan that involves a politician who struggles under even the slightest intellectual pressure is a cause for concern.
The Democratic Party’s decision to focus on identity politics, by choosing a black woman as the vice-presidential candidate, may have been seen as a smart move by some. But in the face of a presidential candidate who already struggles to remember his own name, it becomes clear that the choice is not between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It is between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And based on her performance so far, it is not a choice that inspires confidence.
In just 82 seconds, Donald Trump’s campaign has exposed why Harris is not the ideal candidate for the position of vice president or president.

Her frequent verbal mishaps and lack of intellectual depth are a cause for concern if she were to become the leader of the free world. The ad serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved in voting for a candidate who may not be capable of handling the pressures and challenges of the presidency. As the election approaches, it is essential to carefully consider whether Kamala Harris is truly the best choice for the future of our country.
