In the intense arena of American politics, where every word and gesture is scrutinized, Vice President Kamala Harris finds herself under a magnifying glass. Democrats had hoped she would be a formidable figure, someone who could stand toe-to-toe with opponents like Donald Trump in a high-stakes debate. But reality paints a different picture—one that leaves her allies concerned and her critics ready to pounce.
Kamala Harris, despite her experience and position, often struggles when the spotlight is on her without the guiding hand of a teleprompter. Her public appearances have occasionally revealed a politician who seems unprepared, stumbling over her words, and offering explanations that leave listeners scratching their heads. A recent attempt to outline her economic agenda, one heavily tied to Joe Biden’s record, was particularly telling. Her statements were a mishmash of phrases that didn’t quite connect, making her economic plan sound more like wishful thinking than a concrete strategy.
One particularly baffling moment came when Harris attempted to explain how her plan, which centers around earned income child tax credits, would miraculously reduce child poverty by 50 percent. The explanation was so convoluted that it defied easy transcription. Words like “return on investment” were tossed around repeatedly, almost as if repetition could make the idea clearer. But instead of clarity, the speech seemed to highlight the very weaknesses that her opponents have long claimed: a lack of depth and coherence in her policy proposals.
Kamala just took an ultra rare question from the press on how she plans on paying for her economic plan
She used the phrase “return on investment” 4 times in one minute and says she’ll reduce “child povracy” by 50%
She’s either nervous, drunk, or both

The question is does she really know how her own policies work? Or are they just throwing darts at a board?
