Women's Group To Spend "Tens Of Millions" To Boost Kamala's Image

In an unprecedented move, a political group has committed to spend
waste "tens of millions of dollars" to improve the reputation of a
sitting vice president.

In a testament to just how big a political liability Harris is,
Emily's List, a group focused on electing pro-abortion, Democrat
women, told Politico that it's going all-out to polish her terrible
image during the 2024 election.

“We’re going to tell the story about who she is, what she’s done,
support her at every turn and really push back against the massive
misinformation and disinformation that’s been directed towards her
since she’s been elected,” said Emily's List president Laphonza
Butler.

The prospect of a second Biden term is positively underwhelming to a
wide, bipartisan swath of Americans: An April NBC poll found 70% don't
think Biden should run for re-election. For half of those who feel
that way, Biden's age figured as a "major" reason.

Of course, it's not just his age: Seemingly every week, Biden publicly
showcases his deepening mental and physical frailty. He would be 86 at
the end of a second term. Add it all up, and 2024 voters are going to
be intensely focused on the fact that Harris is a heartbeat -- or
head-banging stumble -- away from the Oval Office.

“She is a boogeyman that Republicans can [and will] use when it comes
to pushing their message,” said an unnamed senior Republican
strategist.

According to FiveThirtyEight's polling composite, Harris has a 56%
disapproval rating -- slightly worse than Biden -- with just 37%
approving of her performance. Harris defenders pin the public's dim
view of her on bias against black women and the Biden administration's
mismanagement of her public relations:

    “The White House team themselves didn’t fully understand early on
the differences that when you have a woman in this role, it has to
look different," said an anonymous Harris ally. "You have to do it
differently. You can’t just do it the way you would with a white man,
because again, people have never seen it before.”

We think it has a lot more to do with the fact that every time she
opens her mouth, Harris sounds like a high school student who's called
on after skipping the reading assignment:

    This lady is dumber than a bag of rocks

Of course, when she can't come up with a word salad, there's always
her trademark cackling -- which, all by itself is worth at least a
15-point approval-rating hit:

    Kamala Harris calls Joe Biden a racist during the debates.

    Colbert questions her on it.
