Deep dives
Rebranding Kamala Harris
The effort to rebrand Kamala Harris as the 'candidate of joy' reflects a shift in how her candidacy is presented in the media. Discussions in outlets like CNN and The Washington Post that once focused on her laughter as a liability have now transformed into an attempt to frame it as an asset, suggesting that her joyfulness can combat political adversaries. Critics argue that this narrative downplays real concerns about her effectiveness as a candidate, with polls showing low approval ratings and public skepticism about her communication style. This effort appears to serve the dual purpose of softening her public image and redirecting attention away from criticisms of her candidacy.
