Kamala’s List Of ‘Most Effective Presidents’ Has One Glaring Omission

Failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris is once again making the media rounds as the Democrat Party attempts to circle the wagons around its crop of far-left socialist candidates.

During one recent interview, the former vice president gave a response that raised more than a few eyebrows.

According to The Hill:

Harris was asked by National Urban League President Marc Morial to “rank the top 3 most effective American presidents in history.”

She named Franklin Delano Roosevelt for “investing in people during dire times,” and then listed John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson for their individual work.

“I credit Kennedy, of course, in terms of what he laid the groundwork for,” Harris continued. “And then Johnson followed up on.”

Harris concluded with former President Barack Obama for “what he did with the Affordable Care Act and many things.”

While one might argue which names belong on the list, it’s notable that she omitted the president she served under for four years.

It’s even more surprising considering the fact that she essentially tanked her own campaign by suggesting on “The View” that she wouldn’t do anything different than Joe Biden had done:

Her latest thoughts on the matter sparked some social media discussion this week:

This should have happened on the campaign trail in 2024 probably vs saying she wouldn’t change a thing

Obama was so effective he threw millions out of their homes, didn't prosecute any of the criminals that caused the GFC, in fact he bailed them out a hundred cents on the dollar.

Then he proceeded to drop more bombs than Bush, did Libya, started Syria and continued Afghanistan 🤦

Fox News added these details:

Harris listed Barack Obama as her third choice, which the audience applauded.

“What he did with the Affordable Care Act among many things, but in particular, if we had one issue that has been ailing America for generations, which is a healthcare system that has failed anyone other than the rich and addressing that the way that he did and took a lot of heat for it. I think it’s one of the greatest presidents,” Harris said.

The list notably left off Biden, under whom she served as vice president.

Neither Harris’ office nor Biden’s office immediately returned Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

Harris took Biden’s spot at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket in 2024 after the former president decided to exit the race following a rough debate performance against now-President Donald Trump.

Harris had a little over 100 days to mount a presidential campaign, and wrote in her book after the election that his decision to run for a second term was reckless.

“‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness?” Harris wrote. “In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

Harris took a series of left-wing policy positions during the conversation, and said she had not made a decision about 2028 yet.

“We must allow for a real conversation about revisiting certain things,” Harris said. “I know this is gonna be controversial coming from me, in particular. We need to revisit the Electoral College.”
