Kamala Harris just got a brutal reality check from her own side of the aisle — and it’s the kind of humiliation you can’t spin away. As Democrats scrambled to hold a key seat on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, they made a calculated decision: Keep Kamala far away.

According to a damning New York Times report, Harris had offered to travel to Wisconsin ahead of the April 1 election, where liberal Susan Crawford ultimately defeated conservative Brad Schimel. But Democrats flatly rejected the idea, worried that Harris’s presence would do more harm than good. Sources briefed on the planning confirmed that Harris was viewed as a potential “distraction” — particularly dangerous in a race seen by many as a barometer of the public’s trust in DOGE Chief Elon Musk and the broader America First movement.

That wasn’t the only snub. Harris recorded a pep talk on Zoom for campaign workers — a bare-minimum gesture — but even that video was kept under wraps until after the polls closed. The message, full of standard rallying cries about fighting “in the public square,” was treated like political contraband. Democratic leaders asked that it not be released until the election was safely over.

It’s not hard to see why. Kamala Harris remains one of the most unpopular national political figures in America. After her November 2024 election loss alongside Joe Biden, her stock has only fallen further. Whether it’s her frequent gaffes, bizarre social media videos, or cringe-inducing speeches, Harris has become a liability Democrats are desperately trying to contain.

She didn’t help herself in the aftermath of the Wisconsin race either. Shortly after the vote, Harris took to TikTok in a bizarre video where she celebrated the outcome and rambled about how happy she was that young voters “love our country.” RedState’s Bonchie described her appearance as “seemingly inebriated” — and it’s not the first time she’s made headlines for baffling, off-the-cuff remarks.

For Democrats, the strategy worked in the short term. By keeping Harris in the shadows, they avoided lighting a fire under conservative voters in a swing state. But in the long term, her diminished status is impossible to ignore — and potentially catastrophic if she plans to seek higher office again.

Reports suggest that Harris is still eyeing her political future, possibly preparing a run for governor of California in 2026 or even another shot at the presidency in 2028. But if the Wisconsin episode is any indicator, her path to national relevance may be permanently blocked.

When your own party hides your Zoom calls, cancels your campaign appearances, and treats you like a walking liability — that’s not strategy. That’s survival. Kamala’s road to the White House just got a whole lot bumpier.
