She’s No Obama

My latest Daily Telegraph column:

Barack Obama has been hitting the stump hard for Kamala Harris lately, including a joint appearance with her Thursday night in Georgia…CNN reported that Obama feels that his legacy is on the line in ways it wasn’t in 2016 or 2020, when the Democrats ran candidates from the generation before him. Harris, by contrast, was an early Obama supporter in 2008, and the two have known each other for 20 years…It may not work, and it might even prove counterproductive. Obama was never very good at getting people to vote for anyone but himself. Moreover, watching him is a reminder that he’s still a master at holding a crowd in the palm of his hand in ways that Harris never will be. He’s confident, at ease, collar open, and can draw a laugh instead of breaking into nervous cackles himself. The contrast just highlights how bad Harris really is.
