Following Joe Biden’s historically abysmal debate performance and his subsequent drop from the race, the newly established Harris campaign is raising many red flags, and yet instead of addressing questions and concerns of voters, Harris is dodging the press. The evident failures of the Biden-Harris administration and Harris’ far-left track record have left her in a precarious situation.
Harris’ political career is marred by failures at every step. Starting with her attempt to run for President the first time. Despite her running in statewide races in her home state of California in 2010, 2014 and 2016, she polled in the single digits there. Her campaign strategy to run as a “big-time prosecutor” did not work then and will not work now.
Fast forward to 2024, and she has made her way to the top of the ticket despite not securing a single primary vote in the Democratic primaries. While the Democrats fearmonger that “Republicans are a threat to Democracy,” established Democrats and mega donors had decided to override the voices of 14 million Democrats that voted for Joe Biden. The hypocrisy could not be more apparent.

What is more troubling are her controversial policy positions. From the economy and immigration to our energy independence, she is the textbook definition of a radical California progressive.
Starting with the economy, Harris would be a nightmare for hard-working Americans. We know exactly what Kamala’s economy looks like. This week, America saw the Dow Jones and Nasdaq plummet, with economic experts predicting a recession may be on the horizon. Under Kamala and Joe’s failed leadership, tax burdens on Americans earning as little as $20,000 a year have increased, real wages remain lower than when Harris first took office, and Americans were hit with the highest inflation in 40 years, with inflation still double the rate when she took office.
Most notable is her disastrous record as the point person (or Border Czar as the media dubbed her) to manage the disaster at our southern border. In the 39 months since Harris took on this role, monthly encounters surged. Arizonans have borne the brunt of this invasion and have been facing the flood of undocumented immigrants coming into their backyards. Border Patrol agents have arrested undocumented border crossers convicted of homicide, rape, assault, drug trafficking and human smuggling, all within the last few months. It was her job to address the border bloodbath. Her abject failure to fulfill that duty makes her unfit to be our commander in chief and utterly unqualified to be President.
Her leadership has been less than inspiring, from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal to the ongoing spending spree that will ultimately lead to economic disaster. It is time for the Democratic leadership in Arizona to say what we all know: Kamala Harris is not fit to be President. As high prices continue to pinch the pockets of hardworking Arizonans and the border crisis remains unresolved, Kamala Harris has given no indication she is ready to address the top issues facing Americans. Arizona and the country deserve better than a candidate who has zero credibility to sit in the Oval Office and run our country.
