On Friday’s WarRoom, Miranda Devine and Kash Patel unpacked Vice President Kamala Harris’s crumbling campaign. Their conversation was sharp and engaging, touching on the Democratic Party’s internal struggles as it faces an uphill battle in the upcoming election.
Patel kicked things off by acknowledging Devine’s prolific writing career. "I can’t keep up with how many bestsellers she has,” he said, highlighting her ability to deliver compelling narratives consistently. It’s clear that Devine has her finger on the pulse of current events, especially as she’s a daily reader of the New York Post.
Devine jumped straight into the topic at hand: Harris’s failing campaign. "I think it’s just the collapse of Kamala Harris’s campaign,” she declared. This isn’t just a minor setback; it signals major issues for the Democrats preparing for the election cycle. Devine pointed to a recent New York Times poll showing Harris and Donald Trump neck and neck at 48%. "That’s kind of unheard of,” she noted, emphasizing that Trump is leading in key battleground states.
The conversation quickly turned to the blame game unfolding within Democratic circles. Devine explained how Democrats are starting to scapegoat each other. "You see that they’re blaming Joe Biden because maybe he should have moved out of the way earlier,” she observed. The finger-pointing doesn’t stop there. As the campaign falters, the blame will likely shift to Harris, with murmurs suggesting she shouldn’t have even entered the race. "It’s going to be recriminations about her,” Devine said, indicating a storm within the party.
Devine highlighted how Biden is becoming increasingly aware of Harris’s impact on his presidency. "Joe Biden now has realized that, in fact, she was part of his demise,” she explained. This admission speaks volumes about the precarious nature of their relationship. It’s a matter of survival for both, and the tension is palpable.
As they went deeper, Patel brought up the broader context of disinformation and the "deep state.” Devine has been vocal about this issue, often linking it to Harris’s struggles. "They see Donald Trump as an existential threat,” she said, referring to a coalition of agencies like the CIA and FBI. The implication is that these organizations are working against Trump and, by extension, the interests of everyday Americans. "It’s two Americas and two democracies,” she added, which shows how disconnected the establishment is from the electorate.
The discussion turned to how the Biden administration’s approach to governance has led to widespread dissatisfaction. Devine pointedly remarked, "The world is on fire,” criticizing the current leadership’s handling of both domestic and foreign issues. She argued that Trump’s straightforward tactics—"a problem is a problem”—stood in stark contrast to the chaos surrounding the Biden administration.
Before wrapping up, Patel asked Devine about her latest book, The Big Guy. In it, she explores Biden’s alleged involvement in influence peddling and the ongoing cover-up efforts. "They don’t want Donald Trump; they want another puppet, which is Kamala Harris,” she asserted. This statement encapsulates the fears many have about the future of American politics under the current leadership.
Devine and Patel painted a picture of a party in crisis, particularly with Harris’s campaign seemingly in free fall. The blame is flying, the tensions are rising, and the stakes are incredibly high as the election approaches. Their conversation warns voters about the fragile state of leadership and the potential repercussions in the coming months.
