Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha slammed former Vice President Kamala Harris for “kissing the ring” of socialist leaders, and called on Republicans to change their messaging ahead of November.“This is all about Kamala kissing the ring of the unofficial leader of the socialist wave taking over the Democrat Party, and getting his blessing,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First Thursday. Concha’s comments come after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed Harris reached out to him over the phone.
Concha indicated that this means Harris may be considering a presidential run in 2028, but argued that if Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) runs, Mamdani’s support will go to her [Cortez] since she’s the “actual socialist.”
“Kamala will simply be playing a socialist as a candidate on TV to pander to the far Left during the primaries, because that’s where the voters come out and that’s where the energy is,” Concha said. “She will say or do anything to win the presidency.”Concha argued that Harris would swing between first being left-wing and then to the center if she did secure a nomination. “I think running a third time will not be a charm for Kamala Harris in the eyes of many Democrats,” Concha said. Concha highlighted that it may be more challenging for Harris to secure votes if she is nominated, because she will face two years of campaigning. “As we’ve seen, the more people that get to know Kamala Harris, the worse it is for Kamala Harris,” Concha said. Concha said Republicans need to rethink their strategy for the November elections based on “conditions on the ground.”NEIGHBORS FIGHT TO FLY AMERICAN FLAG AFTER HOA SAYS IT VIOLATES POLICYConcha noted that under the Trump administration, gas prices are falling and the Dow Jones is up. He also said that the inflation rate was very high under the Biden administration. “I think Republicans just have to go on the offensive and say, ‘Are you better off now than you were during the Biden years?’ and I think that that would resonate,” Concha said.
