Kamala Gets Completely Cooked After Cropping Biden Out of Her 4th of July Message

Kamala Harris drew criticism on Independence Day after posting a somber message on social media alongside an image from last year’s celebration that appeared to crop out President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

“This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better,” Harris wrote Friday on X.

“But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.”

The image Harris shared featured her and her husband, Doug Emhoff, watching a fireworks display in July 2024.

The photograph appeared to be taken from the White House balcony, and the framing omitted both Joe and Jill Biden, who had been present during the same event.

Critics on social media quickly pointed out the crop.

Link Lauren, a former senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, posted a wider version of the photo showing the Bidens standing just feet away.

“Kamala cropping Joe out is very symbolic,” Lauren wrote.

Another user mocked the photo by asking, “[W]hose elbow is that at the right[?]” — referencing a portion of the image that showed part of someone cut off.

Harris’s post also drew attention for its bleak tone, especially given the patriotic nature of the holiday.

“Feeling grateful we didn’t end up with a President who posts ‘things are gonna get worse’ on the 4th of July,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kiersten Pels said in response.

Other users echoed similar sentiments. “Among other reasons, this is why you’re not President,” one commenter wrote.

Another suggested she should “just enjoy the day.” A separate post referenced Harris’s frequent campaign phrase, saying, “America is unburdened by what has been.”

Radio host Mark Simone weighed in, claiming, “Kamala sets a new record for the worst 4th of July message ever.”

Some observers also noted her repeated use of the word “fight” and speculated about her future political ambitions.

“She’s definitely running in 2028,” one user wrote.

Article III Project founder and Trump ally Mike Davis posted, “Don’t stop fighting, Kamala. And please run again in 2028.”

Since her loss to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, Harris has made few public appearances.

All seven swing states went to Trump after Biden exited the race, leaving Harris as the Democratic nominee.

In April, Harris gave a keynote speech in San Francisco at a 20th anniversary gala for Emerge, a Democratic organization focused on recruiting women to run for office.

During the speech, she criticized the Trump administration’s economic and immigration policies, though she did not mention Trump by name.

Recent polling data indicates a decline in support for Harris as a potential 2028 candidate.

An Emerson College poll conducted last month found only 13% of respondents would support her in the Democratic primary.

In that same survey, 16% favored former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who previously ended his 2020 campaign with only 15 delegates before Super Tuesday.

By comparison, a November 2024 poll from Emerson showed 37% support for Harris among Democratic voters, signaling a significant drop over recent months.

Other surveys have offered slightly more favorable numbers. A Morning Consult poll conducted in March found Harris with 36% support among Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters for the 2028 primary.

However, a separate April poll by Politico and UC Berkeley’s Citrin Center showed that 36% of respondents identified as “policy influencers” were not enthusiastic about Harris running for governor of California in 2026.

Sources close to Harris told Politico that she is expected to make a decision regarding her political plans by the end of summer.

Until then, speculation continues regarding whether she will pursue the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination or shift focus to a potential gubernatorial run in California.
