One of the things that is most challenging for Kamala Harris is how to paint herself as a "change agent," when she's part of the Biden-Harris administration. Most Americans find that the administration has been a failure, and don't want four more years of it. So, what does she do when she is the effective incumbent?
Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are bizarrely trying to paint former President Donald Trump as the incumbent, and themselves as the "new way forward." It's basically trying to turn reality on its head. She can't afford to be clear about their own radical policies; all they have is an effort to demonize Trump.
My colleague Bob Hoge wrote about this cringeworthy moment from Harris' Friday rally.
"Brotha, we are not going back."

Going back to what? When we all had more in our wallets, groceries were 20 percent less, the border was more secure, and we didn't have the same chaos in the world? She's acting like she hasn't been the cause, for the past three-plus years, of all those problems.
But what was funny was that Tim Walz, who was in Pennsylvania on Saturday, managed to do in Kamala and their campaign with just one line. First, he made his patented, weird gesticulations. It sounded like there were protesters that he had to stop speaking for a few times.
He went off into a boatload of falsehoods. Then he claimed that Kamala was working on making things better, without explaining why she hasn't done that already while occupying office, and how she's driven prices up and made home ownership out of reach.
Then he finally admitted the truth:

"We can't afford four more years of this," Walz said.
Wait, what? Who's occupying the White House right now, Tim? Who's been responsible for all this tumult?
Hint: it isn't Trump. It's why we're voting for Trump and JD Vance. Exactly because we "can't afford four more years of this." We can't afford any more of what Harris and Joe Biden have wrought.
It also sounds like he might have just created that next ad for the Trump campaign. Trump should run this around the clock, showing how inflation is up, how grocery prices are up, how the border problems are up, how world chaos is up--all because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Biden wore a Trump hat, and now we get this. The Harris-Walz team is really terrible at this.

It also prompted responses from a lot of people, all of whom said this was an excellent reason to vote for Trump, including from Donald Trump Jr:
