Kamala Harris’ Vibes-Heavy Campaign Against Trump Is Currently Working – Fareed Zakaria

CNN host and Washington Post writer, Fareed Zakaria has come out to say that the Kamala Harris presidential campaign is deliberately empty of substance and high on feelings.

He recently had his say via an Op-ed published hours ago, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, Kamala and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are only winning by leading a highly emotion-based vibes-heavy campaign against Donald Trump, and Harris is yet to give extensive interviews or conduct news conferences which would force her to detail her positions on specific issues.

He added that Kamala’s decision to introduce herself to the American people in entirely human terms seems to be working thus far.

It read, “Kamala Harris’s campaign seems premised on this latter, intuition-based approach.

Harris has run a remarkably focused and disciplined campaign, one that seems deliberately light on substance and high on feelings.

Harris has not yet given extensive interviews or done news conferences which would force her to detail her positions on specific issues. Instead, she introduced herself to the American people in entirely human terms, presenting herself as a dynamic, warm, funny, and optimistic person. It’s heavy on vibes, and, so far, it seems to be working.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro would have been the more practical choice as VP. Instead, she chose the governor of a bluer state — but one who projects an image that has resonated throughout the country: a folksy, affable, kindhearted man. The Tim Walz pick reminds us that, sometimes, EQ is as important as IQ.

So far, the Harris approach has allowed her to right the sinking Democratic ship.

To prevail, Harris will have to start filling in the substance of her campaign. The Democrats’ biggest strength is the issue of abortion, and the vice president has been eloquent and effective on it. Their biggest weakness is immigration, which galvanizes Republicans and even some independents.”

WOW.
