She will soon be utterly forgotten.

I chuckled a little when I saw the new poll by American Pulse that purports to show Kamala Harris with a one-point lead over JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 General Election matchup.

Can a Democrat win in 2028 against Vance or some other Republican? Of course. After all, four years is an eternity in American politics, and no one knows how the public will react to Trump’s second term. Will the Democratic nominee be Kamala Harris? No. Zero chance.

I don’t even think Harris will pull the trigger on running for the Democratic nomination — let alone have the ability and charisma to win it — after she sees how few Democrats will want to give her a third look.

Harris flamed out in the 2020 Democratic primaries (she didn’t even hang around in the race long enough for the first votes to be cast), she was an embarrassment during her entire vice presidency, and she lost a winnable general election to the man that Democrats hate most.

The mediocrity that was Kamala Harris in 2024 will become the trivia question, “Who?” version of Kamala Harris by this time next year.

Kamala will not be succeeding Gavin Newsom as governor of California. She’s not going to go back to the Senate. She won’t even score an extremely lucrative book deal because the publishing houses all know that practically no normal American will want to buy a memoir “written” by Kamala Harris. (Okay, someone will be dumb enough to give her a somewhat lucrative book deal, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to sell any books.)

No, Kamala Harris is not going to be named to the Supreme Court the next time Democrats control the White House. And, no, Kamala Harris will not spend the next four years as the leader of the #Resistance to Trump/Vance.

If she had won the White House, Kamala Harris would have been a world-historical figure (as all modern U.S. presidents are). But she didn’t, and since she’s an incompetent, unlikable nonentity otherwise, she will soon be utterly forgotten.

So, who will be the Democratic Party’s champion in four years? I have no idea. But I know it’s not going to be Kamala Harris.
