She’s the leader in polls regarding the 2026 California governor’s race. She won the NAACP Chairman’s Award Saturday night. Her name is Kamala Harris, and she sounds like an accomplished woman.
But she also got shellacked in the November presidential race—losing all seven swing states, the electoral vote, and the popular vote, and she’s bitter. Speaking at the NAACP 56th annual NAACP Image Awards after accepting her participation trophy, Kamala delivered one of her signature word salads while taking potshots at President Trump, whose poll numbers show that a huge number of Americans approve of the job he’s doing.
Seems like she has a chip on her shoulder:
“While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter in our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office nor by the wealthiest among us,” Harris, 60, dressed in an all-black pantsuit, said during her acceptance speech.
“The American story will be written by you. Written by us. By we the people.”
I would just add that a big part of that story was already written by the American people on November 5.
Here she is accepting the award for… what, exactly? A lady in the crowd seems overcome with emotion. Did Kamala accomplish something that I missed?
Then she took to the stage for her “profound” speech:

Wait… is that a Nazi salute?! I bet CNN is all over it:
The former vice president painted a bleak picture of where we are as a country—even as Trump wowed the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference 2025 outside of Washington, D.C. on Sunday:
“Some see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy and ask, ‘What do we do now?’” Harris observed.
“But we know exactly what to do, because we have done it before. And we will do it again. We use our power. We organize. We mobilize. We educate. We advocate. Our power has never come from having an easy path.”
Her address came hours after Trump electrified the MAGA faithful just outside Washington, DC, at the Conservative Political Action Conference where he gloated over his victory against Harris.
“I haven’t said that name in a while, Kamala,” Trump mused at CPAC during a riff about her task of tackling the root causes of the border crisis. “I bet nobody knows her last name.”

Harris vowed not to go “quietly into the night” after her defeat but has done exactly that, with her most notable move being signing with a Hollywood talent agency. Meanwhile, early polls show her as the leading Democrat for the ’28 presidential race, which can only bring smiles to Republicans. We’ve seen what she brings to a campaign, and are only too happy to fight that fight again. With JD Vance the leader in early GOP polling, it would seem like it wouldn’t be a fair fight.
