The New York Times has recently shifted its tone towards Vice President Kamala Harris, signaling a potential change in her public perception.
The newspaper’s critical pieces, “Joy is Not a Strategy” and “Trump Can Win on Character,” have caused unease among left-leaning circles and raised questions about Harris’ popularity.
The initial positive momentum following the recent convention quickly dissipated when former Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki faced a harsh reality on Monday night.
CNN’s Don Lemon added to the concerns by revealing that there is a lack of recognition for Harris in swing states he visited, indicating a potential decline in her public appeal.
However, amidst this disheartening news, there may be a silver lining. It seems that as people become more acquainted with Kamala Harris, their appreciation for her diminishes.
This shift in sentiment has been reflected in reports from outlets such as the Daily Mail, which noted a concerted effort by print presses and TV networks to downplay Vice President Harris’s historically low popularity following President Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 election race.
Despite her past record, there has been an abundance of praise for Harris as a potential president without acknowledging her last-minute position as Democratic nominee.
The Deputy Opinion Editor has expressed dissatisfaction with Bill Clinton’s claim that Harris would bring ‘joy’ to the presidency, questioning how this would address the economic challenges facing millions of Americans.
Additionally, attention has been drawn to Harris’s absence from interviews and press conferences since Biden’s withdrawal, emphasizing the need for her to gain trust in managing the economy.
In another critical piece titled “Trump can win on character,” conservative commentator Rich Lowry did not hold back in his assessment of Harris.
He described her as “weak” and “phony,” casting doubt on her commitment to the country and the middle class.
This change in narrative by The New York Times reflects a broader shift in attitudes towards Vice President Harris.
The public is becoming increasingly aware of her shortcomings and appears less inclined to support her candidacy for higher office.
As media outlets continue to shine a light on these issues, it remains to be seen how Harris will navigate this shifting landscape and work towards rebuilding confidence among voters.
