Kamala Harris, who apparently has the luck of a cat crossing a busy street, was denied a second round in the political boxing ring with Donald Trump. But undeterred, she strapped on her gloves for a sparring session with the infamous pro-Trump cheerleading squad—Fox News. Because who needs formal debates when you can jump into the lion’s den armed with nothing but a bunch of sound bites and a keen sense of irony?

In a clash reminiscent of a high school cafeteria brawl, Harris and Bret Baier, Fox’s star anchor—who I’m pretty sure moonlights as a wrestling referee—interrupted each other like they were discussing the merits of pizza toppings rather than national policy. It was a scene that would have made a circus proud: two clowns throwing pie charts instead of pies as Harris attempted to juggle her policy reversals while Baier served them up for the crowd like a Proud Mary of doubt.

“May I please finish? You have to let me finish,” said Harris, using a technique usually reserved for every child on the playground trying to get a word in. Alas, even the adults have lost the ability to let anyone finish a thought these days.

In an attempt to channel her inner Phoenix, Harris strutted into Fox, a network where liberal angels fear to tread, hoping to ignite some fireworks in a campaign where the big moments are as sparse as a diet soda at a barbecue. Not only was she trying to woo the swing state citizens of Pennsylvania, but she was trying to contrast herself with Trump, who’s chosen to dodge interviews like they were flying kittens with rabies.

As she furiously raised alarms about a second Trump term, Harris demonstrated how not to say “anything” with precision, declaring, “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” as if she had a magic wand that would divert attention from the rolling context of their shared administration. Spoiler: nobody believed her.

Meanwhile, Fox News was not just satisfied with the combativeness; they were practically giddy, replaying Harris’s every stammer like it was the latest blockbuster. With chyron after chyron declaring, “Kamala continues her tirade against Trump,” the network found its new favorite show: “America’s Funniest Political Responses,” featuring everyone but the person trying to answer the questions.

In a later act of political survival, Harris dealt damage control like a firefighter at a barbecue, feigning ignorance about how many undocumented migrants she might have let in. Of course, this was no simple task, especially when answering questions about previous support for using taxpayer dollars for gender-affirming care while dodging existential questions about young American women falling victim to undocumented migrants—really, is there ever a break from the circus of it all?

As Harris trudged through her performance in a seemingly desperate bid for approval, she was like a black cat trying to find its way through a field of broken mirrors — awkward, clumsy, yet undeniably trying to create her own reflection in a room full of ghosts of Republican ideals past.

To add more fodder to the absurdity, Trump zoomed in on his own town hall, where he claimed that January 6, 2021, was merely a “day of love.” Yes, a day of love perfect for those who have a penchant for romantic chaos—and mayhem is the new hallmark card this political season. While some candidates fall over their own wild statements, Trump has magically turned into Teflon, where nothing sticks, showing us mere mortals how to truly master the art of absurdity.

But in this high-stakes game of risk where the stakes are set with candy and hot air, Harris might just curry favor with the undecided—their thoughts as clear as mud. Because let’s face it, amid all the chaotic noise of political tomfoolery, it’s hard to discern if her act was a brave stand or simply the latest episode of:

“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Entitlement!” A riotous comedy unveiling itself one interview at a time, while we all awkwardly laugh as we pick our own candidates… for the viewers’ homes are all but silent in this election year of the freak show.
