They made it weird.
For the last few days, the only Democrats of note to have not endorsed Kamala Harris were both named Obama. Everyone else had climbed on board within the first 48 hours of Joe Biden’s surrender under fire totally voluntary withdrawal from the nomination. The delay even had mainstream media outlets scratching their heads; NBC News yesterday reported that the endorsement would come « soon », and most presumed that the Obamas and the Harris campaign had a plan for a spectacular event that would help lift and complete The Anointment.
Instead, we got this cheesy sequence a few hours ago that looks like an idea lifted from a reality-TV series. Oh, look who’s calling the star today!

What . the Obamas couldn’t even FaceTime the endorsement? Even Chuck Schumer got up in front of a camera to endorse Harris. The Obamas couldn’t be bothered to turn the iPhone camera on for a glimpse in the video.
And just like in bad reality-TV shows — and I watch a lot of this genre on HGTV — we’re supposed to believe that this is just an extemporaneous phone call, somehow magically captured on camera while Harris strolls down a street.
