Monday’s stock market crash may bring the legacy media’s fawning over Vice President Kamala Harris’ nomination to a screeching halt.
As previously relayed by The Dallas Express, many mainstream media pundits fell over themselves to support Harris following President Joe Biden’s not-so-unexpected announcement last month that he would be dropping out of the race.
Now that the American economy may be on the brink of a major “correction,” there might be a change in tune and increased scrutiny over the Biden-Harris administration’s economic policies.
Here’s some of what Fox News reported about the potential for such changing winds:
The Associated Press’ Michelle Price warned during a panel discussion Monday on CNN that the hype around Vice President Harris’ candidacy might be coming “back down to earth” after the U.S. stock market plunged.
“They just a little bit ago this morning, posted the ‘brat’ meme with ‘the stock market is tanking’ in the font,” Price said during a panel discussion on CNN, noting that the Trump campaign was using Kamala Harris memes to mock the vice president.
U.S. stocks tumbled as trading began Monday, continuing Friday’s sharp drop after a global sell-off. The plunge continues to stoke fears of a recession.
“That everything that has been in this honeymoon period might seem kind of silly compared to when people are looking at their 401Ks or when they’re going to start looking at gas prices, or they’re looking at what it costs at the grocery store, that the hype that is kind of coming back down to earth. We might be entering that phase that the Trump campaign has been waiting for,” Price said.
CNN’s John Berman said Harris needed to be careful to not make the same mistakes President Biden did when talking about the economy in painting “a super rosy picture when people might not be feeling it.” Berman said Harris has remained conscious of how Americans were feeling about the economy.
