Forget the White House. This Political Commentator Wants Kamala

There’s a certain comfort in watching the media’s royalty chase their own tails. The latest chapter involves Professor Scott Galloway, a marketing guru from NYU, who has apparently decided that the Democratic Party’s future hinges on Vice President Kamala Harris. We are told he’s a podcaster and author of some renown, which apparently qualifies him to lecture the country on political strategy. We’ll admit we had to Google him, but the story is less about his résumé and more about the desperate search for a savior.

Galloway’s diagnosis is that the Democrats have a “messaging problem,” not a policy problem. That is a convenient fiction for a party that has spent four years ushering in record inflation at the grocery store and chaos at the border. It’s never the policies, only the pitch. He thinks Harris should be deployed more aggressively to sell the administration’s wins to a skeptical public. But you can’t sell a lemon by simply turning up the volume on the salesman. At some point, the voters look under the hood.

This is the same playbook we saw with Hillary Clinton and then with Joe Biden: find the smartest person in the room to explain why the American people are too stupid to understand their own interests. The Biden-Harris White House has had its chance, and the polling numbers are not a mirage—they are a verdict. The pundit class is eating itself. Instead of reflecting on why working families feel abandoned, they are drafting memos about "framing" and "vibes."

The real takeaway here is that the Left’s bench is empty, and they know it. They are so desperate to avoid a primary that they are trotting out a business school professor to convince us that the current product is actually great if we just look at it from the right angle. A marketing degree won’t fix a record. The American people have already decided what they see, and no amount of rebranding from Professor Galloway is going to change their minds. We’ll keep watching, mostly because it’s fascinating to see a party so out of touch that it thinks the problem is the packaging.
