On July 26, in the aftermath of the
Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief
Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire."
More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
It is frankly bizarre for
Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history."
I'm feeling pretty good these days about that prognosis.
Harris recently campaigned in Erie, Pennsylvania—a crucial regional hub in this election cycle's most important battleground state.
Conspicuously absent from that snoozefest was incumbent Sen.
Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.). Harris tried to pass off the snub as a nothingburger, suggesting that Casey was doing the more important work of knocking on doors and getting out the vote.
This doesn't pass the laugh test. Facing a spirited challenge from
Republican hopeful Dave McCormick, Casey has clearly concluded that Harris' immense Bay Area lefty baggage—her history of endorsing the Green New Deal, a national fracking ban and crippling electric vehicle mandates—is an electoral albatross around his neck.

Shocked that Newsweek is still a thing.
But, the left-wing rag has this covered pretty well.
