Op-Ed: What’s Next for That Accomplished Woman of Accomplishment Kamala Harris?
President-Elect Donald J. Trump decisively won the 2024 election by sweeping all seven swing states, which the polls all said was impossible. We know what President Trump will be doing for the next four years. But what about Kamala Harris? Unless Joe Biden steps on a stray banana peel in the next two months, she won’t end up being President of the United States. The Democrat Party’s shock troops can protest all they want—and they certainly will—but that won’t change the fact that Donald Trump is the 47th president and now Kamala Harris is going to have to find something else to do with her time.
The problem that Kamala Harris has now is that she seems to have a fairly limited skillset. One possibility that many have suggested is that she could finally get a job at McDonald’s. It might be good for her to make fries for a while and develop some work ethic. Then again, Harris has always been allergic to work. She probably wouldn’t go for that idea.
Many washed-up politicians decide to go on the speaking circuit so they can dazzle their followers while making $25,000 or more per speech. That could also be difficult for Harris, however. People who do well on the public speaking circuit memorize their speeches and deliver them without a teleprompter. Kamala Harris had several meltdowns on the campaign trail when there were glitches with her prompter. She’s not very good at thinking on her feet and then articulating her thoughts in anything other than epic word salads.
She couldn’t even sit down for a conversation with Joe Rogan. That wouldn’t even have been an interview. Rogan is a conversationalist. Donald Trump sat down with him for roughly three hours of conversation and it likely had a big impact in moving some undecided voters in Trump’s direction. Kamala’s campaign wouldn’t let her anywhere near the Rogan podcast without imposing lots of conditions on her appearance.
Here’s another thought. Who would pay Kamala Harris $25,000 to listen to a motivational speech about unburdening themselves from what has been?
Another possibility is that Harris could go back to being a public prosecutor. She’d have to win an election to do that, but that shouldn’t be a problem in California where every election is rigged by mail-in ballots. However, this brings us back to the issue of Kamala Harris being allergic to working a real job.
By all accounts, Harris never actually prosecuted a criminal case during her time as San Francisco District Attorney or California Attorney General. She had a great time forcing all her underlings to stand up and greet her by saying, “Good morning, General.” Interns were also warned never to look her directly in the eye or speak to her.
Researchers attempted to find a single case where Kamala Harris served as lead prosecutor during all those years in California. The researchers failed. It appears that she ran the offices and bossed everyone around, but never actually spent time in a courtroom.
There is one job that Kamala Harris might actually be qualified for. It’s a job that takes no skills whatsoever. Any idiot could do it and the job will be available starting in 2026. That’s when Gavin Newsom gets term-limited out of the Governor’s Office in California. The good news for Harris is that if she were to run for Governor of California and win, she couldn’t possibly do a worse job than Gavin Newsom. The question is whether she has the energy to go through another big campaign. Here’s hoping she’ll just retire quietly and go away.
