Kamala Harris faces backlash over text promoting Deep South tour: 'Her career is over'

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced backlash after a text message promoted her upcoming political tour across the Deep South. The message, which highlighted her plans and outreach efforts, quickly drew ridicule online.

Critics questioned the tone and timing of the announcement. The reaction underscores continued scrutiny of Harris and her political positioning, as speculation grows that she may seek another run for the White House.

Kamala Harris's Deep South tour announcement sparks mockery

The controversy began after a text message circulated promoting Harris’s planned visit to key Southern states. The message described the tour as an effort to connect with voters and build momentum, especially in politically significant regions. However, instead of generating enthusiasm, the outreach became the subject of widespread mockery on social media.

Echoing similar criticism online, one user wrote, “This woman is another one of those freaks who never goes away, like the Clintons, Jerry Brown, the Obamas, Stacey Abrams, Tim Walz."

Another critic said, "She has no friends. If she did, she would just go away and realize she’s dead and buried and covered with maggots."

Reflecting broader criticism about her political appeal, one commentator noted, “She just could never appeal to Black people as she is unappealing to a cross section of voters.”

Adding to the criticism surrounding her political future, one netizen stated, “Her career is over... let’s look to other Democrats for leadership, particularly those in the middle who appeal to Independent voters. The goal is to win in the General Election.”

Another social media user said, "Her own party admits she’s a moron now!"

Kamala Harris and potential 2028 run with deep south tour plans

The expected 2028 presidential contender is set to visit North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Arkansas, stating in a campaign message that the goal is “to uplift Democrats and continue building our power in the South.”

Additional stops may be added in the summer and fall, CNN reported, as she continues her efforts in the region, including fundraising for state Democratic parties. While Harris has not officially confirmed a presidential run, the states on her itinerary are expected to play a significant role in the next election cycle.

North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, in particular, have historically been critical battlegrounds in presidential elections. Harris, who lost the 2024 presidential race, may also be aiming to strengthen support among Southern Black voters, a key Democratic constituency. 

However, the planned travel could come at a cost to California taxpayers. During her previous book tour last year and earlier this year, she was accompanied by California Highway Patrol officers, including on international trips.

Harris and state officials have declined to disclose the cost of this security. Gavin Newsom's administration refused to release records following a recent request. The Highway Patrol stated that sharing “costs related to a protective detail would reveal sensitive security information” and therefore cannot be made public.

If Harris enters the race, she may face a crowded Democratic primary field that could include Newsom. A recent poll suggests that in her home state, voter support for Harris as a presidential candidate is low, while Newsom leads with 28 per cent support among California voters.
