Is there anyone in the day to day life of Kamala Harris who is willing to tell her to put the wine down?

Because honestly, there has to be some chemical assistance in being THIS delusional. Apparently, the adulation of the paying crowds at Kamala’s book tour is going to her head. They like her, you see. THEY REALLY, REALLY LIKE HER. And she’s happy lapping up their praise, and imagining herself as this magical transformative HISTORIC figure.

Ms. Harris has made clear she doesn’t “feel burdened” — yes, she still uses that phrase — by where she fits in the punditry pecking order or the polls or the cable chyrons. She is enjoying the freedom from what she calls the “transactional” constrictions of campaigning, of asking people for a vote.

Her place in history is already secure, and she knows it.

“I understand the focus on ’28 and all that,” she said in the interview. “But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was.”

In a hundred years, Kamala Harris will be a Trivial Pursuit question, with all the historical gravitas of Walter Mondale and Hubert Humphrey.

her name will be etched in history along with Richard Johnson, Charles Curtis, Charles Fairbanks, and Alben Barkley https://t.co/120yRUYUXT

Kamala Harris will be remembered because of the incredible scandal of covering up Joe Biden’s descent into senility, and paving the way for Donald Trump to pull off a Grover Cleveland. Forget a hundred years – her book will be in the bargain bins and in used bookstores by the time 2028 rolls around. But she really wants everyone to think that she’s NOT thinking about 2028.

“It’s three years from nooooow,” the former vice president pleaded in an interview last month, sitting in a leather chair backstage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville before one of the final stops on her nationwide book tour. “I mean, honestly.”

The circumstances of Ms. Harris’s loss meant that many sympathetic Democrats blamed Mr. Biden.

Yet in the year since, she has not capitalized on that good will. She has let others lead the fight against Mr. Trump, and has slipped in the way-too-early 2028 primary polls. One pre-Thanksgiving survey in New Hampshire placed her in the single digits, in a distant third place.

Ms. Harris does not fear losing to other Democrats if she runs again, one person close to her said. She is unconcerned about potential rivals seizing the spotlight because she is already so well known, another added. She believes she has more time than anyone to decide about 2028, said a third.

Behind the scenes, Ms. Harris has been re-engaging.

Her team has formed a political action committee called Fight for the People, and she has reached a deal with the Democratic National Committee to pay roughly $7 million for her email list, two people briefed on the arrangement said. A first payment has been made. She plans to ramp up her political activity in 2026.

She called Zohran Mamdani, the incoming mayor of New York City, the day after he won, offering advice on how to hire his staff and serve as an executive.

“I do not think he’s a scary face for the Democratic Party,” she said of Mr. Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, praising the excitement he has generated from younger voters.

She also called the moderate Democratic women who won governorships, Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey. All told, Ms. Harris made more than 40 congratulatory calls after the election — to new state senators in Mississippi, incoming city council members in South Carolina and even a school board trustee in Idaho.

Notice that Kamala Harris, or her inner circle, is telling the New York Times reporter, Shane Goldmacher, about all the newly elected Democrats she’s been calling. You know who didn’t mention that, who could have bragged on that connection? Those same newly elected Democrats. Can you imagine Zohran Mamdani’s reaction to taking a phone call – and advice – from Kamala Harris? He can destroy New York City without her “help,” but can you imagine the eye rolling from him and his highly radical inner circle? And the amazing arrogance that would lead her to make those phone calls in the first place? If she can do that without a bit of “liquid courage,” then we are all going to be enjoying a Kamala Harris rerun campaign beginning in 2027. After all, she still believes that if she had just a LITTLE more time to run for president, she could have won.

Ms. Harris did not hesitate when the actress Sophia Bush asked her at a recent event what, in hindsight, she would write on a Post-it note to herself on the first day of her 2024 campaign.

“Get more days,” she said.

But it is not apparent whether more time would have helped or hurt.

Ms. Harris met the big moments in 2024, especially the convention and the debate. But her candidacy lost steam in the long interludes in between. She similarly rocketed out of the gate in her 2020 presidential primary run with a splashy kickoff and a scorching first debate. She dropped out before a single vote was cast.

The NYT profile notes that the relationship between Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom has pretty well soured, with him absorbing former Harris staffers into his own political machinery – and we all know that Governor Hair Gel is hyper-focused on being president. If Harris does decide to do the time warp again, and run for president a THIRD time, the knives will be out, and Gavin will be holding them. The 2028 election is shaping up to be a repeat of 2016 on both sides of the aisle, with no sitting incumbent from either party to be an immediate nominee or front-runner. It’s going to be brutal, and Kamala Harris will not be able to sit on her non-existent laurels and yell “I’M HISTORIC!” while pointing at her marble bust.

The kicker? That vice presidential bust that she’s bragging on? It hasn’t even been finished yet!

The U.S. Senate maintains a collection of vice presidential busts, with the chamber’s rules stating that “marble busts of those who have been Vice Presidents of the United States shall be placed in the Senate wing of the Capitol from time to time, [and] that the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, subject to the advice and approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to carry into execution the object of this resolution…”

One of the busts is located in the vice president’s formal office as head of the Senate, twenty are placed in niches in the gallery walls of the Senate Chamber, and the remainder are in the second-floor corridors of the Senate wing adjacent to the chamber, according to the Architect of the Capitol’s office.

The busts of former vice presidents Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Harris are still in progress, with the bust of Vice President JD Vance to be commissioned when he exits office.

How very like Kamala Harris to be counting her marble busts before they’re completed.
