Kamala Harris' DNC Speech: Echoes of Obama, but Lacking in Substance

Fox News host Jesse Watters analyzes Vice President Kamala Harris' highly anticipated acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

As Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage for her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Fox News host Jesse Watters predicted an "emotional entree with a side of substance, very small side."

Harris, who has been preparing meticulously for this moment, is expected to deliver a rousing speech filled with soaring rhetoric and inspirational anecdotes. However, Watters believes that her speech will ultimately fall short of providing the concrete policy proposals that voters are seeking.

Watters draws parallels between Harris' speech and that of Barack Obama at the 2008 DNC. Obama's speech captivated the nation with its message of hope and change, but Watters argues that Harris' speech lacks that same transformative quality.

"We're going forward, not back, to focus on decency," Harris said in her speech, echoing Obama's famous line about "moving forward, not backward." Watters dismisses this as mere platitudes, devoid of any real substance.

"If you want to know what Kamala is going to say tonight, just watch Obama's DNC acceptance speech," Watters said. "Yes we can. Turned into. Yes she can."

Watters argues that Harris is attempting to emulate Obama's charisma and oratorical skills, but she lacks the depth and experience that made Obama such a compelling figure.

"Kamala Harris may snag Obama's essence, but she doesn't have the backstory," Watters said. "Obama was a community organizer, a state senator, and a U.S. senator. Harris has never held elected office before becoming vice president."

Watters also points to the fact that Harris' speech was written by a team of speechwriters, unlike Obama's, who was known for writing his own speeches. This, according to Watters, diminishes the authenticity and impact of Harris' words.

"Harris' speech may sound good on paper, but it lacks the personal touch that Obama's speeches had," Watters said. "It feels more like a political calculation than a heartfelt expression of her own beliefs."

Overall, Watters believes that Harris' DNC speech will fall short of the high expectations that have been set for her. While she may deliver a powerful performance, her speech is unlikely to provide the substance and inspiration that voters are craving.

"It will be a speech that is long on rhetoric and short on details," Watters said. "It will be a speech that leaves voters feeling empty and uninspired."

As the DNC concludes, it remains to be seen whether Harris' speech will resonate with voters and help galvanize support for the Democratic ticket. However, if Watters' analysis is correct, Harris may struggle to emerge from the shadow of Barack Obama and establish her own unique identity as a leader.
