Kamala Harris Knows Her Political Career is Over

Kamala Harris appears to have reached the inevitable conclusion that her political career is effectively over, and frankly, it's about time she faced reality. Since her humiliating loss to President Trump in November, Kamala has been flailing around like a wounded animal, desperately searching for relevance in a party that's clearly moved on without her.

The writing was on the wall from the beginning. I know some people will point to those early polls showed her leading the Democrat pack for a potential 2028 run, but anyone paying attention knew that was nothing more than name recognition doing the heavy lifting. Once Democrats got a closer look at what Kamala actually brought to the table after her spectacular failure against Trump, her numbers cratered faster than a lead balloon. The party faithful quickly remembered why she couldn't even make it to Iowa in her disastrous 2020 primary campaign.

Now comes her new campaign memoir 107 Days, and boy, is Kamala going scorched earth on everyone who supposedly let her down. As PJ Media has previously reported, Kamala called Biden's decision to stay in the race "reckless,” she threw her former running mate Tim Walz under the bus by admitting he wasn't her first choice and expressing disappointment with his debate performance, and she even accused Biden of throwing her off her game before her debate with Trump.

But here's the kicker – she wanted Pete Buttigieg, but rejected him because "he'd be too risky because he's a gay man." So much for the party of tolerance and inclusion, right? These aren't the revelations of someone planning a comeback – they're the bitter rants of a politician who knows her time is up and burning bridges because she has nothing to lose.

Stephen A. Smith, hardly a conservative voice, hit the nail on the head when he declared Harris's political career finished. "I think you've seen the last of her with this book, politically," Smith told CNN’s Laura Coates, calling it "the last straw" for her political future. When even sympathetic media figures are writing your political obituary, you know it's over.

Politicians don’t go out of their way to torch relationships with party leaders, potential allies, and former colleagues unless they’ve already written off their political future. This isn’t clever positioning for a future campaign or an attempt to shape a comeback—it’s pure, unvarnished revenge, served ice-cold.

We’ve only seen a handful of excerpts so far, and there’s every chance even more scathing criticisms of party officials are yet to come. But even from what’s already public, the message is unmistakable: Kamala knows her political career effectively ended with a thunderous thud on Election Day, and with nothing left to protect, she’s throwing caution—and loyalty—to the wind in order to sell a juicy, no-holds-barred tell-all. This is a political self-immolation, designed less to influence the party than to settle scores, and it leaves her credibility and future prospects smoldering in the ashes.

Stick a fork in her, she’s done.
