Who’s Running the Kamala Campaign?

The New York Post reported that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy claimed that former President Barack Obama is secretly running Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, alleging that key Obama aides, such as David Plouffe and Eric Holder, are heavily involved. On WABC, McCarthy said, “You’re getting the Obamas shifting from running the White House to now running this campaign.”

McCarthy also criticized Harris for selecting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and bypassing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

More from the New York Post:

“Any political-science person would tell you it’s all coming down to Pennsylvania and Georgia,” McCarthy said of the 2024 election.

“Why would [Harris] skip Shapiro in picking a VP? Is she not going to stand up to her own party when they want to attack Israel? She wasn’t there when the prime minister of Israel came to speak to Congress. That’s her role and responsibility as president of the Senate,” he said. 

McCarthy also railed against Harris’ deciding vote as the presiding officer of the Senate to pass President Biden’s pandemic-related stimulus bills. The vice president votes to break a tie.

“She gave the deciding vote that brought us inflation,” he said. “We’ve watched these families struggle at the grocery store, at the gas station. There’s nothing left for them. They are working so hard just to try to make ends meet.”

However, a former Obama adviser dismissed McCarthy’s claims, noting that it’s common for Democratic strategists to work on multiple campaigns.
