Kamala Harris is seeking a political comeback after her massive 2024 campaign loss. She’s got another thing coming.
Because J.D. Vance smacked Kamala Harris with a four word burn that she’ll never recover from.
Vice President Vance Takes Hilarious Jab At Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris
Vice President J.D. Vance recently took a humorous swipe at his predecessor, former Vice President Kamala Harris, during an interview with Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese on Thursday. Vance quipped that he would need to be heavily under the influence to replicate Harris’ infamous “word salads” – her tendency to give long, convoluted responses to straightforward questions.
When asked how his approach to the vice-presidential role differs from Harris’, Vance didn’t hold back. “Well, I don’t have four shots of vodka before every meeting. That’s one way I think that Kamala really tried to bring herself into the role is these word salads and I think I would need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer a question the way that Kamala Harris answered questions,” he said with a chuckle. The vice president admitted that while he doesn’t often speak with Harris or former President Joe Biden, he suspects a lack of trust between the two may have hindered her ability to perform her duties effectively. In contrast, Vance feels empowered in his position, thanks to the confidence placed in him by President Donald Trump.
Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign was marked by a noticeable avoidance of media interviews, a move many political observers linked to her penchant for lengthy, meandering answers when pressed on policy matters. It wasn’t until October that she embarked on a media tour, during which her responses often veered into disjointed tangents.
One notable example came in 2022 when Harris spoke at length about the “significant of the passage of time” without connecting it to any meaningful point. That same year, she faced widespread mockery for her “coconut tree” comment while attempting to explain the importance of investing in America’s youth. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people, you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” Harris said, laughing heartily. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what you came before you.”
Following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Harris offered a simplistic explanation of the conflict during an appearance on The Morning Hustle. “Ukraine is a country in Europe,” she began. “It exists next to another country, called Russia. Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine, so basically, that’s wrong.”
More recently, at a March 10 artificial intelligence conference, Harris veered off-topic while discussing innovation, launching into a story about her love for Doritos. “We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start and nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store,” she recounted. “So it was DoorDash … So I was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking of Kamala Harris’ particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for the sake of getting a big bag of Doritos as I watched the Oscars.”

In a September interview with 6ABC Philadelphia’s Action News, Harris sidestepped a question about improving affordability, instead reminiscing about her upbringing. “I’ll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard, she was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers,” she said.
“I tried to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience, you know, a lot of people will relate to this. You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn, you know. And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity. And that we as Americans have a beautiful character.”
Vance’s lighthearted jab at Harris’ expense sheds light on the stark contrast between their approaches to the vice-presidential role. While Harris’ tenure was often characterized by evasive and rambling responses, Vance appears determined to bring a more direct and empowered style to the office, bolstered by a strong working relationship with President Trump.
J.D. Vance: The Rising Star Poised to Lead MAGA into the 2028 Presidential Race
Eight months ago, President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice president, a decision that has quickly elevated the Ohio senator into a prime position as the likely successor to carry the MAGA torch into the 2028 presidential election. With Trump’s inner circle and his most loyal supporters rallying behind him, Vance is emerging as the figure who could cement Trump’s legacy and steer the Republican Party for years to come.
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Indiana), a staunch Trump ally, sees Vance’s path to the GOP nomination as all but certain. “I think it’s inevitable at this point that Vance will be the [GOP] nominee in 2028,” Banks told Axios. “He’s the future of the America First movement and he’s already proven himself.” This sentiment echoes among Trump’s longest-serving aides and most ardent backers, who view Vance as the key to preserving Trump’s vision well into the next decade. For them, Trump shattered the mold of the old Republican Party, and Vance is the one to construct its replacement.
Vance has solidified his standing with Trump’s base through a combination of fiery public appearances, strategic alliances with Trump’s team, and an unflinching commitment to the president’s ideals. His confrontational style has won him both praise and criticism, but it’s the approval of Trump’s supporters that matters most to his trajectory. Take, for instance, his sharp rebuke of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting in the Oval Office. The move drew condemnation from leaders across the Atlantic and even some within the GOP, yet it electrified Trump’s loyalists, who relished the display of defiance.
Similarly, Vance’s combative address at the Munich Security Conference ruffled feathers among European dignitaries. Back home, however, Republicans cheered his blunt rhetoric, seeing it as a sign of strength. These moments have painted Vance as a fighter unafraid to take on the establishment—qualities that resonate deeply with the MAGA faithful.
Behind the scenes, Vance has earned the trust of key figures in Trump’s orbit. A source close to Donald Trump Jr., who championed Vance during his 2022 Senate campaign in Ohio, shared with Axios that the president’s son is “over the moon with JD’s performance so far, and feels completely vindicated for spending his political capital last summer pushing his dad to pick Vance as vice president.” The younger Trump’s early endorsement has paid off, and Vance has also caught the eye of wealthy financiers within Trump’s network, further bolstering his clout.
Vance’s dominance was on full display at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February, where he crushed a straw poll of potential 2028 GOP nominees, securing 61% of the vote. Steve Bannon, a former Trump White House official and host of the influential War Room podcast, trailed far behind with just 12%. Jim McLaughlin, the pollster behind the survey, attributed Vance’s landslide victory to his proximity to Trump’s persona. “He’s viewed as the closest thing to Donald Trump,” McLaughlin said, noting that this perception has fueled Vance’s early lead.
The swelling ecosystem of MAGA-aligned podcasts, influencers, and media outlets has only amplified Vance’s rise. Matt Boyle, Washington bureau chief for Breitbart News, a publication firmly in Trump’s corner, offered a glowing assessment. “Vance is clearly the far, runaway frontrunner, and no one else can hold a candle to him right now,” Boyle told Axios. He pointed to Vance’s knack for cultivating ties with both the original architects of the MAGA movement and members of Congress, where Vance has played a pivotal role in advancing Trump’s agenda and securing confirmations for the president’s Cabinet picks. “He’s also been very smart about developing strong relationships with a lot of the MAGA America First OG’s,” Boyle added.
At just eight months into his vice presidency, J.D. Vance has already positioned himself as the heir to Trump’s political empire. His aggressive style, loyalty to Trump’s vision, and ability to connect with the base have made him a formidable contender for 2028. While the election is still years away, the pieces are falling into place for Vance to lead the next chapter of the America First movement—a prospect that has Trump’s allies, from lawmakers to media voices, buzzing with anticipation.
