Let’s face it.
Kamala Harris proved to be an unsuccessful candidate during her presidential campaign. It is common for candidates to have their weaknesses. Some may lack in policy knowledge, while others struggle with performance or presentation. However, in Harris’s case, she faced challenges in all of these aspects.
There’s a new book out that’s gives us a great example of the problems with Harris.
According to an excerpt, Harris’ campaign insisted that she could only be seated in chairs that “met certain specifications”:
An extract from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes and published in The Hill, revealed the meticulous seating requirements imposed by Harris’s team.
According to the book excerpt, her team specified particular criteria for her chair: “Leg height no less than 15 inches; floor to top of seat height no less than 18.9 inches; arms on chairs may not be very high, arms must fall at a natural height; chairs must be firm.”
Okay, so what prompted this craziness?
Apparently, it was the interview she and her running mate Tim Walz did with CNN’s Dana Bash in August. The way they were seated made him look bigger; she looked small in comparison, so the optics were bad. Her team made sure that did not happen again.
“Sitting next to Walz in a chair that seemed to place her below him and heaping praise on Biden’s record, Harris did not look like a candidate seeking the highest office in the land,” the excerpt read. “The whole scene reinforced the criticism that the vice president was either incapable, or afraid, of answering tough questions on her own.”
Sorry, but that’s dumb. Yes, he did look better in that interview than she did. That seems like a lousy excuse for doing badly in the interview.
