jobs were shipped overseas. O’Brien says they felt helpless — until a real estate devel- oper and former reality TV star reformed the GOP in his own image. The party Trump has remodeled rolls up
its denim shirt sleeves every day, loosens its blue collar, and gets to work sweating hard on the factory floor in a bid to make Amer- ica great again. They might even reveal a time-worn tattoo of the American flag in the process. But if Trump’s ability to resurrect the
voice of middle-class voters in American politics is his most extraordinary achieve- ment, the stunning power of Democrat insiders and the mainstream media to rein- vent Harris, a once beleaguered vice presi- dent who’d been relegated to the shadows of the Biden administration, has been nothing short of breathtaking. Trump transformed Republicans, but
Harris in some respects faced an even more daunting task: She’s had to transform herself.
Overnight Harris became a powerful, effective, and inspirational leader, and the culmination of her political beatification arrived at the Democratic National Convention.

Harris’ Extreme Makeover The brazen reimagining of Harris — whose 2020 performance was so feeble she dropped out of the race before the first primary — into an Obama-like visionary ready to lead progressives into their liberal Valhalla was a feat that will be studied for generations to come — especially if she wins. Flashback to March 2024. Biden is clear-
ly struggling in public appearances and hav- ing difficulty reading a teleprompter. The party’s spinmeisters insist any talk
of Biden’s decline is “misinformation” dis- torted by “deep fake” videos. Although a compliant corporate media
cooperates by not asking too many ques- tions, Democrat strategists grow increas- ingly nervous that keeping Trump tied up in court on unprecedented criminal indict- ments might not be enough to get a fading Biden across the finish line. That’s when the idea emerges of reener-
gizing the ticket by forcing out Harris and replacing her with a new No. 2, presumably California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Soon, articles begin suggesting Harris
must go, including one by Washington Post editorial board member Kathleen Parker,
