Kamala Harris is back at it again, serving up yet another heaping plate of her signature word salad—this time, in front of a Broadway cast that politely nodded along as if she had just delivered the Gettysburg Address. But instead of Lincolnian clarity, what they got was the usual string of vague, rambling platitudes that somehow managed to sound both important and completely meaningless at the same time.
The former vice president and her husband, Doug Emhoff, decided to spend the weekend in the most D.C. elite way possible—watching Broadway shows while the rest of America deals with sky-high grocery prices and global instability. After taking in A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, Harris attempted to give an impromptu speech to the cast and crew, and, well… let’s just say it went about as well as you’d expect.
“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also, let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” Harris began, already losing the plot before she even finished her first sentence.
Then came the classic Harris pivot—start a sentence, get halfway through, abandon it, and start a new one that sort of sounds profound but ultimately says nothing. “Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it,” she declared before going on about how progress is about expanding rights, not restricting them. And then, of course, she brought it all home with something about U-turns, vigilance, and the nature of it. Whatever it is, only Kamala knows.
Predictably, the moment made its way to social media, where critics wasted no time roasting her speech. One person quipped, “Kamala Harris hit Broadway and, of course, served up her signature word salad. A friendly reminder of what we dodged in the White House.” Another added, “Literally, the only thing worse than listening to this gobbledygook is the folks around her nodding and clapping as if she made sense.”

And, of course, the most accurate comparison of them all—someone likened her speech to that one drunk auntie at family gatherings, the one who rambles on while everyone around her just politely sips their wine and humors her. Given that Harris has made a career out of speaking in circles while saying absolutely nothing, it’s hard to argue with the assessment.
But here’s the kicker—Harris isn’t just fading into the background after her embarrassing loss to Trump. No, she’s already warning America that she won’t “go quietly into the night.” Translation? She’s still got political ambitions, despite the fact that voters soundly rejected her. The rumor mill is already churning about her potentially running for governor of California once Gavin Newsom is term-limited. Because what better way to reward a politician with zero leadership skills than by giving her control of the nation’s most mismanaged state?
At this point, it’s clear that Harris hasn’t learned a thing from her time in office. She still talks in circles, still refuses to engage with real issues, and still somehow manages to sound both over-rehearsed and completely unprepared at the same time. The only difference now is that the American people don’t have to pretend she makes sense anymore.
