Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz spent an awful lot of time during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate talking about what he and Kamala Harris would do on “day one” and beyond if Americans (and Big Tech oligarchs) elect them this November.
The problem? As Sen. J.D Vance, R-Ohio, pointed out, Kamala Harris’ “day one” was nearly 1,400 days ago. If Harris wants to help struggling Americans, why hasn’t she? She does hold the second-highest office in the land, after all.
“If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle-class problems, then she ought to do them now, not when asking for a promotion, but in the job the American people gave her three and a half years ago,” Vance said. “And the fact that she isn’t tells you a lot about how much you can trust her actual plans.”
Vance is right. It’s the exact same tack Harris took while campaigning for her current vice presidency too. Then-Sen. Kamala Harris talked about all the lawmaking priorities she would pursue if elected to the executive branch — as if she weren’t then occupying the legislature.
Now with illegal border crossings and immigrant crime out of control, homeownership beyond reach for too many Americans, skyrocketing grocery costs, America’s energy independence forfeited, wars raging abroad, political violence intensifying, a weakened military and national defense, and disintegrating public schools and law enforcement squads, it’s pretty rich to hear the current vice president and her running mate talk about all the things she’s “going to do” if upgraded to commander-in-chief.
Presidential incumbent and then-candidate Joe Biden did the same thing before the undemocratic Democrat coup removed him from the race, without a single vote cast for his replacement. He campaigned on his plans rather than his accomplishments because, well, he didn’t have any of the latter — unless you count the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, an economy in the toilet, and an invasion at the southern border. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz just snatched Biden’s “plans” playbook from his cold, dead hands and picked up where dementia Joe left off.
Donald Trump and his team, on the other hand, have plenty of achievements to tout as a demonstration of what the next four years might hold. As Vance said during Tuesday’s debate, “Donald Trump’s economic plan is not just a plan, but it’s also a record.”
That record includes higher take-home pay for American workers, lower inflation and taxes, far more affordable groceries and gasoline, a tighter southern border, real deterrence and a stronger national defense, more of our dollars staying inside our country, and a deep-seated belief in the American dream. In other words, a happier middle class and country at large…
