A REMINDER THAT KAMALA HARRIS WAS A TERRIBLE CANDIDATE. Recently, a video circulated of former Vice President Kamala Harris engaging in her trademark word salad during an appearance at an AI conference in Las Vegas. Harris was saying something about nacho cheese Doritos, but beyond that, the point was not clear. The most striking effect of the video was to see and hear Harris again after her virtual disappearance from the public scene in the last 4 1/2 months. During the presidential campaign, we saw and heard her every day, and these days … mostly nothing.

But we will soon learn a bit more about the Harris candidacy from book-length accounts of the 2024 campaign. One that is coming on April 1 is called FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, two reporters who have often focused on Democrats.
