In a political circus segment aired on MSNBC's Maddow exactly 15 days before the calendar eats itself, former VP Kamala Harris ‘endorsed’ Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor with the enthusiasm of someone picking last slice of kale. Calling Mamdani ‘the Democrat to support,’ she casually reminded viewers—mostly out-of-towners—New Yorkers believe they ‘are the center of the world,’ but also gave baffling shout-outs to Alabama’s Barbara Drummond and New Orleans’ Helena Moreno as ‘stars,’ because why limit confusion to one city? Harris also labeled Trump a ‘tyrant’ and fretted industry titans lack integrity to ‘guardrail’ his fragile ego. She sheepishly admitted in her book '107 Days' she was 'reckless' by not pressuring 2024’s Biden to drop faster, fearing sounding self-serving. And in case you missed the break, she praised viewers wielding checkbooks to bring back Jimmy Kimmel’s TV show after a week-long suspension post-controversy involving remarks on Charlie Kirk’s killing, emphasizing ‘power of the people’ better than any political platform. Meanwhile, LAPD is now her security detail after Trump retired her Secret Service—a reminder that politicians' protection plans have more plot twists than a daytime soap.
