With just three months left to go before election night in November, the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris must continue to appeal to the American people. Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) discussed their efforts, saying that the Vice President is effectively her own worst enemy in a recent appearance on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria.
Concerning the economy, Rep. Diaz-Balart said, "The problem that Harris and the Biden Administration have is their record. The reality is that they claim the economy is great, but I will tell you that people feel differently because it is different, because the cost of living is really hurting people. Right now, a dozen eggs are a luxury item; gasoline is really expensive and needlessly so because, again, of the policies of this administration, not to mention the insecurity in the streets."
Moreover, the Florida Congressman suggested that the Vice President's image and policies turn people away from her.
"What is hurting Kamala Harris is Kamala Harris. It is the fact that the border is insecure, that now we saw the reports of terrorists, known terrorists, being released into the country, and it is not only that she was nowhere to be found, [but] she was the person put in charge of the southern border if that is the best she can do. And by the way, it is. Imagine what would happen if she was President of the United States," Rep. Diaz-Balart continued.
The host then asked if he believed the "reinvention" of Harris, quoting the Wall Street Journal's Gerard Baker, would succeed with the American people.
Diaz-Balart suggested it would not, as voters see how the record surrounding the Vice President is changing by friendly media, a point raised by Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
"It is fascinating. You are seeing certain press groups out there changing their own articles about Kamala Harris and about her not being the border czar. So, the attempt to dress her in pretty clothes and put lipstick on a failed vice president is very aggressive, and I think you are going to see it spread all over the place. However, people are not that stupid, and more importantly, they understand their personal situation," Diaz-Balart concluded.
