In the same week Kamala Harris claimed on “The View” she wouldn’t change a single action taken by the Biden-Harris administration in the past four years, Democrats scrambled and sent Barack Obama — a man who once called Pennsylvanians “bitter” and “xenophobic” — to do damage control. Unfortunately for the Harris campaign, not even millionaire Obama, flown in from Martha’s Vineyard, could deny the hardships of the past four years, even admitting the party chose a failing candidate.
Perhaps most revealing about Obama’s stump speech is that he couldn’t point to a single Biden-Harris administration policy that has made hardworking Pennsylvanians’ lives better. He failed to highlight any policy proposals or point to a single way Harris has delivered for the American people in the past four years. Instead, he remained fixated on the fact that Harris is not Donald Trump — the tired “boogeyman tactic” we’ve watched for almost a decade.
Pennsylvanians know that Trump will fight for their families, and they know it because they’ve seen it. They have had the chance to evaluate both records — and the contrast cannot be clearer: Harris is driving America and all of our families off a financial cliff, she’s starting wars through weakness, and she is playing fast and loose with our national security, allowing terrorists to cross our border and live among us. That’s what we will think about at the ballot box, not that she’s from a middle-class family, her latest episode on a sex podcast for relatability or whether she’s a woman.
Under Harris, inflation has reached historic heights, making life more expensive for Americans, with prices rising worse than expected in September, marking the 43rd consecutive month inflation has exceeded the Federal Reserve’s target rate. When Trump left office, inflation was at 1.4%, but it has averaged 5.2% under Harris.
Wages also have fallen, with earnings down 3.4% since Harris took office, compared with wage increases of 8.2% under Trump. As a result, many Americans are struggling to keep up with rising costs — and want the Trump economy back in the White House, an economy they know works for their family.
It doesn’t matter which liberal millionaire politician they bring in next — Pennsylvanians already know Harris’ “plan” because we’ve lived through its consequences for nearly four years. Her campaign is on life support, and a cameo by Obama won’t save it.
Pennsylvanians deserve better than empty promises from out-of-touch elites. On Nov. 5, we will “turn the page” from the Biden-Harris failed agenda and elect a leader who will fight for us. That’s Donald J. Trump.
