Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced widespread criticism Monday after posting on social media to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the launch of her unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, as reported by Fox News.
Harris marked the date by posting a message and photos on X, celebrating the beginning of her campaign following former President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race on July 21, 2024.

Biden dropped out and immediately endorsed Harris, who then became the Democratic nominee. Harris lost to President Donald Trump in the November general election.

“One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up for our values, our ideals, and our democracy. Their courage and resolve inspires me. Whether you are attending a protest, calling your representatives, or building community, I want to say: Thank you. We are in this fight together,” Harris wrote.

“You didn’t get a single primary vote. How very democratic,” wrote Amy Curtis of Twitchy.

Political commentator Link Lauren added, “No mention of Biden again. Really trying to erase her association with him. She was there in lockstep with that failing administration. I don’t have amnesia.”

According to FEC filings, the Harris campaign spent over $1 billion in just three months, much of it directed toward celebrity influencers, radical activist organizations, and luxury travel, including private jets.
Harris’ defeat marked the end of a campaign that never gained traction with voters and was widely criticized for its reliance on media promotion and political endorsements instead of grassroots support.
