Quick Summary

This opinion piece argues that Kamala Harris’s political momentum has stalled following the midterm election results, which the author characterizes as a "tsunami" of repudiation against the majority-party leadership. The author observes that while Democrats celebrate and Republicans recover, the political landscape is shifting toward the 2028 election cycle following Donald Trump's second term. The narrative focuses on how Trump's unique success in defeating Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris has historically discouraged other politicians from seeking the presidency, a dynamic that will change once he is no longer on the ballot.
