Kamala Harris slammed for bizarre text announcing her return to the Deep South

Kamala Harris has been slammed for a bizarre text announcing she will swing across a raft of states in the Deep South.

The expected 2028 presidential runner will take trips to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas “to uplift Democrats and continue building our power in the South,” according to the message her campaign sent.

More stops could be added during the summer and fall, CNN reported, following her appearances in the South to help raise funds for those state Democratic parties.

Social media users tore into the announcement Tuesday. One said: “She’s literally the reason we have the administration we do today.

“As VP, she was part of the worst presidential administration in US history. Democrats failed the USA by allowing nobody to challenge Biden, then she was installed when Biden was deemed incompetent.

“When you have no clue how to help run a country, how to talk to your independent constituents that affect every election, and spew the garbage that is against what those same people support, then you will fail.”

Another wrote: “She is a totally clueless person that would have been an unmitigated disaster for America if they had been able to install her as president. Thank goodness she was so bad they couldn’t cheat her in.”

Even though Harris hasn’t confirmed she is running for president, the selected states she will visit could play a prominent role in the next presidential election.

Particularly, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia have been crucial states to win in past presidential elections.

Harris, who lost the 2024 presidential election, could also be bolstering support among Southern black voters, a key constituency in the Democratic Party.

The trip will likely cost California taxpayers however. When the former vice president was touring to promote her book last year and earlier in the year, California Highway Patrol officers were shadowing her — even overseas.

Harris and state officials have decided to stay mum about how much that security costs. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration refused to release anything in response to an open records request this week.

The Highway Patrol said sharing “costs related to a protective detail would reveal sensitive security information” and therefore records cannot be shared.

If Harris does run, she could be joining an increasingly crowded Democratic primary that includes Newsom.

A recent poll showed that at least in her home state, voters are resoundingly rejecting Harris as a presidential option, while Newsom led the pack with 28% of the state’s voters.
