Opinion | The Agony Of The Semi-Switcheroo

I don’t make my living advising political campaigns or parties, but the Democrats probably should have taken my advice – going all the way back to 2023! – to dump Kamala Harris after dumping Joe Biden and run a fresh slate. I don’t hate to say, “I told you so.” The full switcheroo might have got the job done—the semi-switcheroo did not. Harris shouldn’t have been campaigning for president of the United States—she should be settling in as president of the University of California, having cleared the way for somebody who wasn’t going to end up having to concede to the unholy love child of Augusto Pinochet and Liberace.
