Concha argued that Harris might potentially be considering a presidential run in 2028, perhaps presenting herself as a left-wing candidate to appeal to primary voters, then shifting to the center in the general election. He noted that Harris&#8217;s repeated campaigns might backfire,as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vance-flexes-endorsement-and-fundraising-prowess-in-midterm-elections\/\" title=\"Vance flexes endorsement and fundraising prowess in midterm elections\">increased public exposure<\/a> tends to hurt her popularity. Concha also pointed out that Republicans should capitalize on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >current economic conditions-<\/a>such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-says-biden-is-to-thank-for-falling-gas-prices-days-after-saying-it-was-out-of-his-control\/\" title=\"CNN Says Biden Is To Thank For Falling Gas Prices Days After Saying It Was Out Of His Control\">falling gas prices<\/a> and stock market gains under the Trump management-by questioning whether voters are better off compared to the Biden years. Additionally,he highlighted that if AOC runs for president,her socialist stance could draw support away from Harris. Concha emphasized that Harris&#8217;s strategy might involve pandering to the far Left during primaries and then moderating, which could undermine her chances. he called for Republicans to adjust thier messaging based on the political landscape.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>columnist Joe Concha slammed former Vice President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\">Kamala Harris<\/a> for \u201ckissing the ring\u201d of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/socialism\/\">socialist<\/a> leaders, and called on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\">Republicans<\/a> to change their messaging ahead of November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is all about Kamala kissing the ring of the unofficial leader of the socialist wave taking over the Democrat Party, and getting his blessing,\u201d Concha said on Fox News\u2019s <em>Fox &#038;
