The Kamala Harris campaign seems to have one strategy at the moment: Don't let their candidate do anything that's off-script while hoping voters don't realize where she's been for the last three and a half years. This is from Harris' speech in Wisconsin this week:
You know, when I was attorney general, I went after price-fixing schemes. And when I am president, it will be a day-one priority to fight to bring down prices. (Applause.) I will take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging. I will take on corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families. I will take on Big Pharma and cap the cost of prescription drugs for all Americans — (applause) — and continue to bring manufacturing jobs back to America — (applause) — and back to communities like Eau Claire. (Applause.)
Is anybody buying this "coming out of nowhere to fix all the problems somebody else helped create that I had absolutely nothing to do with" routine?
The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway is among those rolling their eyes at Harris' pledging to fix everything she helped Joe Biden break (on a couple of occasions via tiebreaking votes in the Senate):
She is on Day 1,297 of being in office and has done nothing but help destroy the economy, the border, foreign policy, American energy independence, protection of children from the radical trans agenda, and more. https://t.co/QnDIo1s78J

It's really very simple: For more of the above kinds of policies and probably even worse, vote for Harris.
She’s had years to fix things and now suddenly it’s a “priority”?

Spare me the fake promises.
We’re all tired of the talk.
Someone tell her that she's currently in office so she can start bringing prices down right away if she wants.

To bring down inflation the government would have to stop printing trillions and trillions of dollars, which people like Kamala Harris will never do. It's easier for them to blame "corporate greed," which just coincidentally didn't start until after she took office with Joe Biden.
