POLITICO is kind of weird today. As we reported, they ran a piece called "Meet Doug Emhoff: Dad-in-Chief." Though they didn't mention him getting the nanny pregnant, they did say he radiated "the typical American dad vibe" during his speech at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday Night, when he revealed that he loves his wife's cackle. And we'd been told repeatedly that Tim Walz was "America's dad" — the father to a generation who lost their own fathers to Fox News.
Is Kamala Harris going to become America's mom? We'll find out Thursday night at the DNC, when Harris "introduces" herself to the American people, who know the vice president but not the person.
Harris campaign chair: America doesn't know Kamala Harris — yet https://t.co/3DS4whpQbs

She was a senator and then vice president — we think we know her pretty well. But her campaign chair doesn't. Kierra Frazier reports:
Kamala Harris’ campaign knows the nation doesn’t really know the vice president. They’re hoping that changes by Thursday night.
When Harris speaks Thursday, she will speak about how her “values and her life's work have led to this point,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillion said at the CNN-POLITICO Grill. She will be able to tell the audience "the kind of individual leader she's going to be moving forward.”
“We all know who the vice president is, but the American people don’t really know her that well, and they don't know her story,” O’Malley Dillon said.
Trust us, we've heard a lot about her story, and it's not something to talk about in polite society.
Kamala is the current VP of the U.S. & has been for 3 1/2 years. Yet no one knows her?

And if she wants a shot at victory she’d better keep it that way.

The White House has kept her under wraps for a reason.
That's by design.

Because she's awful.
Jokes on you, we all know her.

That is clearly by design.

We know enough to know we don't want her.

We know she wants to turn America into Venezuela.
We know her. And she’s not good at her job.

She’s hiding for a reason

Meanwhile, Vogue just published their August issue with Dr. Jill Biden on the cover. That didn't age well.
I think we know her well enough. There is a reason she was forced to drop out before Iowa in 2020. Everyone will soon be reminded of it.

This would be the third re-introduction of Kamala Harris since she became the presumptive nominee.

We all know her from her social media videos when she tells about how her Indian-American family used to celebrate Kwanzaa … so many childhood memories. And she worked at McDonald's for a short time. She's just like us.
Y’all keep acting like you’re not the incumbents.

Maybe if they'd let her do interviews and press conferences that could change.

Will Harris actually be able to deliver a serious speech on policy issues Thursday night, or will she just crack herself up? We know they're trying to spread joy, but we have some problems under her administration that need to be addressed.
