A prominent one is: Why was Vice President Kamala Harris selected as our candidate? The term &#8220;selected&#8221; is appropriate since Harris did not win a primary and was appointed after President Joe Biden stepped down as the candidate. On election night, the American public witnessed the consequences of that decision, which CNN anchor Jake Tapper also noted in a particularly revealing moment during their coverage. CNN correspondent John King used the network&#8217;s interactive map to demonstrate to Tapper where Harris fell short compared to Biden in this year&#8217;s election versus 2020 when Biden won. The conclusion? Harris did not outperform Biden anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>King asked Tapper if there were any areas where Harris exceeded Biden&#8217;s performance from 2020, only to reveal a completely blank map indicating that she had not done better in any state across the nation. &#8220;Holy smokes,&#8221; exclaimed Tapper, clearly surprised by this revelation. While it appeared that Harris underperformed compared to Biden nationwide, Mediaite pointed out that King&#8217;s segment didn&#8217;t show everything; his map initially displayed states rather than counties before he switched slides showing that she actually outperformed Biden by 3% or more in just 58 counties.<\/p>\n<p>What did Democrats expect from her candidacy? She represented an ultimate DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) choice rather than one based on merit. Unlike Biden\u2014who won his party\u2019s primary and was chosen by voters\u2014Harris was installed without having proven herself through competitive means. This lack of meritocracy led to disappointing results; DEI candidates often do not perform as well as those who have demonstrated their capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s underperformance against Trump further illustrated this point and seemed obvious to many outside of Democratic circles. The lesson here is clear: selecting candidates based solely on diversity factors can lead to poor outcomes; instead, it&#8217;s essential to choose individuals who have shown they can effectively fulfill their roles. Watching CNN grapple with these implications while acknowledging Trump&#8217;s merit-based campaign was particularly gratifying for many observers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2365239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jake-Tapper-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32444,32320,32438],"class_list":["post-2365238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-jake-tapper","tag-joe-biden","tag-kamala-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jake-Tapper-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2365238"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365238\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2365242,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365238\/revisions\/2365242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2365239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2365238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2365238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2365238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
