Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t stumble over her words or veer into a stream of confusing tangents during her debate with former President Donald Trump on Tuesday. For the Democrats, that was a victory in itself, considering they had to make Harris their candidate just two months ago after President Joe Biden’s cognitive collapse in a debate with Trump.

Yet, despite the friendly hand from her pals at ABC (DNC) News, Harris showed up as the same hollow candidate she’s always been. Sure, she managed to parrot those centrist talking points her handlers drilled into her. Still, her performance was nothing more than a buffet of meaningless jargon, hollow platitudes, and dodging straightforward questions about her terrible track record. Her quick switch from radical leftist to “moderate” was on full display, but let’s be real—it was as believable as a politician promising tax cuts while planning to spend more.

If Merriam-Webster had a picture of Harris next to the word “disingenuous,” it wouldn’t be out of place. Her closing statement was a masterclass in evasiveness. While she spent most of the night twisting, dodging, and spinning, she did manage to get one thing right: America is indeed choosing between “two very different visions for our country.”

Harris is betting on a future without accountability. She has to—given the past 3.5 years of chaos under her administration. We’ve seen inflation eat away at our wallets, an open-border policy inviting an invasion, chaos and violence around the globe, and the return of terrorism fears at home. No wonder she wants voters to forget about the past—like the Trump years, when inflation was under control, borders were secure, and America was respected on the world stage.

Trump nailed it when he said Harris would govern just like Biden—a puppet for the far-left agenda. “She is Biden,” Trump said. “The worst inflation we’ve ever had. A horrible economy, and she can’t run away from that.”

But Harris is doing her best to shed her past as the far-left ideologue she’s always been—at least until Biden stepped aside. Remember, this is the same Harris who wanted to ban fracking—a career-ending stance in Pennsylvania, where Tuesday’s debate took place. Now, she’s suddenly all for fracking, bragging about her so-called “tie-breaking vote” on the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act. Spoiler alert: It’s a $1.2 trillion spending spree that did nothing to cut inflation. Go figure, endless government spending drives inflation up, not down.

Still, Harris claims she has a “vision” and a “plan.” She and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, conveniently released this “plan” right before the debate. It reads more like a Big Government manifesto than a blueprint for success. It’s filled with the usual feel-good rhetoric about “aspirations, dreams, and ambitions of the American people,” a phrase Harris repeated so often that if it were part of a drinking game, participants would have ended up in the ER.

What is this “opportunity economy” she’s pitching? If it’s anything like the “opportunities” we’ve had since 2021, Americans are in for more trouble. Her plan? More government giveaways. A $6,000 child tax credit (a bit ironic coming from a woman who champions unrestricted abortions), a $50,000 tax deduction for start-ups, and a $25,000 down payment for first-time homebuyers. And who’s footing the bill for all this largesse? That’s right—you are, in higher taxes and inflation. And your kids, and their kids, will be paying for it, too.

Harris says she’s all about keeping America strong on the global stage, but let’s not forget the Afghanistan debacle three years ago. Billions of dollars in arms were left behind, now in the hands of the Taliban. Americans and allies abandoned. Thirteen service members killed. And yet, Biden-Harris can’t even bring themselves to stand with the families of those fallen heroes.

In her final remarks, Harris reminded us that she started her career as a prosecutor. She said, “I never asked a victim or a witness, ‘Are you a Republican or a Democrat?’ The only thing I ever asked them was, ‘Are you okay?’” But let’s get real—that’s the question everyone should be asking right now: Are we okay after nearly four years of Biden-Harris?

Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, are asking another question: “Why hasn’t she done it?” Trump pointed out that Harris had 3.5 years to fix the border, create jobs, and tackle all the issues she claims to care about. Yet, here we are, still waiting. It’s time to stop accepting excuses and demand real leadership.
