Serious candidate.
No one seems to have much enthusiasm on the Dem side for a campaign autopsy. Maybe because it’s all too obvious what went wrong, but with Kamala a frontrunner in 2028, some Dems in her circle keep trying to claim she ran as good a campaign as possible and that her defeat was all Biden’s fault. And while Biden gets his share of the blame, it takes a lot to pretend that the only problem with her candidacy was Joe’s senility.
In the midst of one of these little defensive narratives, there’s a very telling anecdote.
Sitting next to Walz in a chair that seemed to place her below him and heaping praise on Biden’s record, Harris did not look like a candidate seeking the highest office in the land… for the rest of the campaign, her team required that she be provided a chair that met certain specifications: “Leg height no less than 15 inches; floor to top of seat height no less than 18.9 inches; arms on chairs may not be very high, arms must fall at a natural height; chairs must be firm.”
No matter how big the chair, Kamala always looked small. She still does. The chair is emblematic of her dependency on props to make her seem bigger, more important than she actually was and is.
