Kamala Harris makes a wild claim that will have you laughing your head off
Harris has said some crazy things in the past. But this may top them all.
And Kamala Harris made a wild claim that will have you laughing your head off.
Kamala Harris, the former Vice President who couldn’t clinch the top job, is already eyeing her spot in the history books.
In a recent sit-down with the New York Times, she’s more excited about a marble bust of herself gracing the U.S. Capitol than plotting her next political move. It’s a classic case of Washington elites prioritizing legacy over leadership.
The interview, held last month in Nashville, Tennessee, with reporter Shane Goldmacher, shows Harris dodging questions about a potential 2028 run like they’re hot coals.
“It’s three years from nooooow,” Harris said. “I mean, honestly.”
She went on to steer the conversation away from any real ambition, waving off the speculation about another White House shot. It’s as if the sting of defeat has her retreating into symbolism rather than strategy.
“I understand the focus on ’28 and all that. But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was,” Harris stated.
The tradition of vice presidential busts is a longstanding one in the Senate. According to the chamber’s rules, these marble sculptures honor those who’ve held the office, placed strategically around the Capitol to remind everyone of their service.
The rules specify that “marble busts of those who have been Vice Presidents of the United States shall be placed in the Senate wing of the Capitol from time to time, [and] that the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, subject to the advice and approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to carry into execution the object of this resolution…”
These busts aren’t just decorative; they’re a nod to the vice presidency’s role in our government.
One sits in the VP’s formal office as Senate head, twenty line the gallery walls of the Senate Chamber, and others fill the second-floor corridors nearby.
That’s per the Architect of the Capitol’s office, which oversees this collection.
It’s meant to celebrate contributions, but in Harris’s case, it feels more like a participation trophy for a term marked by gaffes and gridlock.
Right now, busts for former VPs Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Harris herself are still being crafted. And when JD Vance wraps up his time in office, his will get the green light too.
But instead of stepping up to guide the rudderless Democrats through their post-election mess, Harris is hitting the road for something far less demanding: peddling her new book, 107 Days.
She’s turning her attention to book signings and speaking gigs, boasting about the crowds as if that’s the measure of success after a national loss.
“Thousands of people are coming to hear my voice. Thousands and thousands,” Harris said to the Times. “Every place we’ve gone has been sold out.”
Harris seems to be content with marble immortality, leaving her party in disarray.
