“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes
Vice President Kamala Harris’ internal polls showing Americans didn’t like her — and she thought the answer was to give voters more chances to see her.
Over the last week, Harris and running mate Tim Walz flooded the zone with interviews on The View, 60 Minutes, and the sex-themed podcast Call Her Daddy…and she thought it worked.
She was wrong—but not just because of the deep controversy over whether CBS News edited her 60 Minutes interview to make her sound more intelligent.
Kamala Harris’ problem isn’t just style; it’s substance.
When The View asked what she would do differently from Joe Biden, Kamala answered, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
Harris says sticking to the same course as the last four years would be great, because she thinks the economy is doing great guns.
“We now have an economy that is thriving by all macroeconomic measures,” Kamala told 60 Minutes (as far as we know). The only negative thing she would admit is that “prices are still too high—and I know that, and we have to deal with that.”
Vice President Harris claims the economy is thriving, but small businesses are facing a very different reality:
• Record high uncertainty
• Constantly rising costs
• Increasing federal regulations pic.twitter.com/D3OA396Hcj— House Committee on Small Business (@HouseSmallBiz) October 8, 2024
That’s a far cry from how most people see things; new economic reports show the economy is in terrible shape.
“The most important number concerning this latest report is the 20 percent spike in prices under the Biden-Harris administration’s policies. That’s what families are focused on right now: the constant struggle to make ends meet because high prices have left them falling further and further behind,” said Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., who is chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
“Vice President Harris was the deciding vote for legislation that sparked the spike in prices that are harming workers and small businesses while the wealthy, well-connected, billion-dollar companies—and China—get hundreds of billions in tax subsidies.”
Prices are up more than 20 percent—including 25 percent increases in fast food, more than 50 percent increases in car insurance, and more than 80 percent higher mortgage rates.

Inflation hit a 40-year high under the Biden-Harris administration. Democrats rave that inflation is “only” 2.4 percent…but that’s still above the two percent the Federal Reserve Board is supposed to deliver. Inflation has run ahead of that measure for 43 months.
Prices are just one issue: Compared to inflation, real wages and benefits have fallen 3.4 percent since she took office in 2021.
Things are so bad that one in three Americans have paid their bills late.
“With Americans struggling to afford the basics, Democrats want every family to pay even higher taxes. Their promise to let the Trump tax cuts expire will mean a Child Tax Credit slashed in half for parents. Small businesses in America will pay a tax rate more than 20 points higher than those in Communist China,” said Rep. Smith.
Despite all this, the Fake News media still run interference for her, gaslighting Americans that they are doing just fine. On Thursday, Victoria Guida wrote in Politico.com that Kamala “Harris is riding a dream economy into the election. It may be too late for voters to notice.”
Only a Beltway insider could have reported it that way: The economy is amazing, but the average American somehow hasn’t noticed. More amazing, she seems to complain that voters liked Trump’s rip-roaring economy better than the Biden-Harris administration’s years of slow strangulation. “Polls still show that Americans trust GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on the economy more than they do Harris, a sentiment that plagued Biden throughout his presidency.”
The Biden-Harris record on the economy:
1. Worse unemployment numbers
2. Lower real wages
3. Record high inflationAccording to key metrics, Americans were far better off 4 years ago compared to today.

Pretty soon, she will not be able to lie to herself about the economy.
A huge 52 percent of Americans rate the state of the economy as “extremely important” to their vote next month, according to a new Gallup poll released on Wednesday. That’s “the highest since October 2008 during the Great Recession, when 55% of voters said the same,” Gallup reported.
The economy turned the election from a toss-up into a blowout defeat for Republican John McCain.
“What we are hearing is that families and businesses are already stretched by inflation and cannot afford another tax hike,” Smith stated. “That is why we have to return to the sound policies that produced the best economy in my lifetime under President Trump—with stable prices, low interest rates, and six million Americans lifted out of poverty.”
The Trump economy grew the middle class; the Biden-Harris economy has been amazing…for illegal aliens.
Foreigners have been making money in Kamala Harris’ America hand-over-fist. More than 3.2 million jobs have gone to non-citizens. But U.S. citizens have gotten fewer than one-third as many jobs in their own country.
Just like FEMA, the Kamala Harris economy is only working for illegals and foreigners.
Is the Harris Biden economy helping Native Born Americans get jobs??
Not according to the data. As it turns out, Foreign Born workers benefit the most from Bidenomics.

Kamala Harris has done such a phenomenal job for other countries, maybe she should follow her parents’ example: Leave her home country, go to another nation, and get involved in their politics.
American voters should throw her out of her job, so she can see just how much opportunity there really is in her “thriving” economy.
