You’d assume, by now, that she would have discovered herself a few company board seats. A spot on the lecture circuit. A no-show job at a college someplace.
Heck, even Bob Dole bought into hawking Viagra.
Kamala doesn’t need to go that far. But I hear there’s a tidy revenue to be made in non-profits, no less than the place Democrats are in workplace.
Instead, she’s hanging round, speaking about working for president a third time.
No one can determine precisely why. It’s not as if she stands for any explicit trigger.
Take the Israel problem, for instance.

In 2019, during her first run for president, Kamala Harris joined most different Democratic candidates in boycotting the pro-Israel foyer group, AIPAC, declining to attend their annual convention of grassroots activists.
Then she met with them in personal, “to discuss the need for a strong U.S.-Israel alliance, the right of Israel to defend itself, and me commitment to combat anti-Semitism in our country and around the world,” she stated.
Today, she’s reaching out to anti-Israel “progressives” and socialists like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

What is her actual view? Who is aware of. She most likely doesn’t have one. She’s simply going with the circulation, making an attempt to remain within the dialog, making an attempt to remain related.
But she’s not.
Kamala has no likelihood of successful the Democratic nomination — none.

There is no likelihood that the celebration goes to appoint a candidate who has misplaced twice. The donors gained’t write the checks. The volunteers gained’t flip up.
In 2024, Harris misplaced the favored vote to Donald Trump. Not even Hillary Clinton did that.
Kamala blames the truth that she had solely “107 days” to marketing campaign. But she had 4 years in workplace earlier than that.
She labored laborious behind the scenes for that nomination, after Biden stepped apart. She maneuvered cleverly to win his endorsement when strain mounted on him to give up the race.
She made sure the celebration elite coronated her — with out a major race and even a contested conference vote.
She had a mountain of money to spend. She had the media on her facet. She began on third base.

She nonetheless managed to lose.
In the 2020 race, Harris dropped out earlier than the primary major vote was solid.
I adopted her for a stretch on the marketing campaign path in 2019. Voters have been prepared to give her a likelihood. They packed eating places and high faculty gyms to listen to her converse.
They typically left deflated.
At one school campus in LA, Kamala drew hundreds — however her marketing campaign put them on the facet of the room, out of view of the cameras.

She’s not great at this. Oh, she’s good — good enough to construct a profession, Willie Brown, gave her a head begin in California politics.
But not great.
She did nothing as California Attorney General, and even much less within the U.S. Senate. And her presidential campaigns by no means moved previous being anti-Trump.
Right now, all Kamala Harris is doing is maintaining her donors and activists captive.
They are caught along with her — fairly than combing the nation, on the lookout for candidates that is likely to be more fascinating than the present speaking heads on TV and social media.
Even Gavin Newsom says he’s ready to see what she’s going to do.
Maybe, perhaps not. There’s no manner a California governor visits South Carolina that many instances with out launching a marketing campaign.
But he’s not the one one.
Democrats are within the center of an epic ideological battle between the rebel socialists — Mamdani, Hasan Piker, AOC — and the celebration institution.
The celebration — and the nation — wants an different, someone who can stand for what Democrats used to symbolize: Personal liberty and a social security web.
This occurred on the finish of the Reagan period, too. Democrats had a weak and divided discipline.
And then Bill Clinton emerged from Arkansas — of all locations — who unified the celebration behind a imaginative and prescient that mixed free markets and social solidarity.
There was no inheritor obvious to stop him.
So — on the risk of inviting corruption — will someone with deep pockets please give Kamala Harris a job?
After all, what’s a revolving door for?
