Vice President Kamala Harris’s honeymoon with voters may be starting to reach its end, based on an MSNBC focus group that went terribly off the rails on Wednesday.
The liberal news network was interviewing female swing voters in Wisconsin about the historic nature of Harris’s candidacy after she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket in November. However, rather than praise the veep as a credible shatterer of the ultimate glass ceiling, some of the women questioned whether she has the intelligence to hold the most demanding job in the world.

“I think she’s an idiot,” said one voter Mary in a brutal summation that’s sure to not be included in the latest Harris for President TV ad. “She doesn’t know what’s going on at the border, and that’s what she was supposed to be doing,” added another, a reference to the recently disputed role of “border czar” she held in the administration. The white female voter compared Harris’s lack of progress on the border with how she’d be treated at work if she didn’t do her job.
“As a schoolteacher, if I did not do what I was supposed to be doing, you better believe my job would be in jeopardy,” said the woman, according to the Daily Caller. “Not only was [Harris’s] job not in jeopardy, she was just handed a promotion.”
Asked by the MSNBC reporter whether Harris could win over any of the women with a desirable pick for a running mate, they were equally circumspect. “Oh no, no,” said the women in agreement, shaking their heads. “I would vote for RFK, Jr. way before her,” one woman remarked, prompting others to signal their support of the independent candidate. Taking the hint, the reporter mentioned Harris isn’t the first woman to run on the ticket, asking “I’m sure none of you voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016,” prompting nods from the seven-member panel.
Asked when the time for a female president might be right, one of the women replied dryly, “When there’s a competent one.”
After Mary called Harris an “idiot,” she was asked why she thinks the second-in-command is “not that bright.”
“Because she hasn’t done anything in the time that she’s had,” Mary replied matter-of-factly. “We don’t know anything about her as far as her three years so far in the White House. She’s not real smart.”

Republicans, led by the Trump campaign, are still wrestling with fomenting the most potent line of attack against Harris, the first Black woman likely to be nominated by a major party. U.S. House Republican leaders on Wednesday warned caucus members to refrain from referring to her as the “DEI” candidate, predicting that jabs about her race would backfire. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Trump took a different tack, joking that Harris is “weird” and “speaks in rhymes.”
It’s “the way she talks,” Trump told the conservative host. “The bus will go here and then the bus will go there! Because that’s what busses do!’”

Concerns about Harris’s preparedness for the presidency could be stoked by Republicans reminding voters about the many verbal vexations that Harris has suffered over the years. Opportunities abound: she’s called artificial intelligence a “fancy thing” and repeated phrases at press conferences when she runs out of things to say, and
During a cringeworthy speech in February, Harris spoke with grade school-level eloquence about the challenges faced by several astronauts receiving honors that day.
”Which brings me to May 30, 2020. Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy Space Center. They suited up. They waved to their families, and they rode an elevator up nearly 20 stories. They strapped into their seats and waited as the tanks beneath them filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then, they launched. Yeah, they did.”
