Despite running scared of the media, there are whispers that Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to separate herself from the administration she’s been a part of for three years.
As we approach the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week, Harris appears to be trying to flip-flop on what she’s done her entire career praying nobody notices.
Sources close to the situation hint, though not explicitly, that Harris is keen on establishing herself apart from Biden.
However, there’s a sizable hurdle that Harris is likely to encounter. A couple of years ago, she was the crucial vote on the “Inflation Reduction Act.” This act, despite its promising name, has fueled inflation and sunk the economy.
Exactly two years ago, Harris cast a tie-breaking vote in the senate for the “Inflation Reduction Act”. Currently, we find ourselves over $35 Trillion in debt, with inflation rates reaching record levels. The individual who cast that deciding vote, which has significantly influenced our current economic climate, was none other than Vice President Kamala Harris.
Fast forward to the present, the narrative within the White House has drastically changed. Instead of insisting that inflation is a temporary phenomenon, the administration is beginning to acknowledge that prices are indeed high.
Her running mate isn’t fairing much better.
Governor Tim Walz, who has served as the governor of Minnesota since 2019, is now under intense scrutiny for his handling of the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis.
During the unrest in 2020, the streets of Minneapolis were engulfed in chaos. Rioters looted and set fire to businesses, leaving a trail of destruction that spanned several days. Over 1,500 buildings and businesses were damaged or destroyed, and the property damage was staggering, reaching an estimated $500 million. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, many have criticized Walz for not acting swiftly enough to bring the situation under control. Critics argue that his delay in deploying the National Guard allowed the violence to spiral out of control, leading to the extensive damage.
The Times has published several reports scrutinizing Walz’s actions during the riots. The publication highlighted that official reports from that period pointed to failures at various levels of government, with some of the criticism directed at Walz himself. The Times sought to interview Walz to address these concerns, but the governor declined these requests, offering no new insight into his decisions during the riots.
In an article titled “Walz Faces New Scrutiny Over 2020 Riots: Was He Too Slow to Send Troops?” published on August 14, The Times delved into the renewed criticism. The piece noted that Walz has remained relatively quiet on the matter, refraining from offering detailed explanations or reflections on his response to the crisis.
However, he did lock up a grandmother and allowed police to shoot paintballs at people sitting on their front porch.
