CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings compared a recent appearance from Vice President Kamala Harris to Groundhog Day, saying that she’d seen her shadow and the American people would be subjected to “four more years of word salads.”
Jennings was making a point about the Democratic Party — and what he believed they should have learned from losses across the board in the 2024 election — and he argued that moving forward with Harris as a candidate in any capacity suggested that they had not learned those lessons.
“Started with a @cnn discussion of Democrats lacking authentic messengers, ended on an amusing revelation by the Pod Save bros that Joe Biden isn’t actually in command (actual LOL on that one),” Jennings posted via X, sharing video of the exchange from “CNN NewsNight” with Abby Phillip.

Jennings said that Democratic candidates — Harris chief among them — had struggled with “authenticity” in 2024, and that would continue to hurt them going forward if it was not addressed.
“What’s the first clip we played tonight? Kamala Harris, who popped out and she saw her shadow, so we’ll get four more years of word salads,” he said. “If this is the road Democrats want to continue to go down, people who are going to use cliches, pablum, and sort of just word-salad answers to really important questions that everyday people have, they will continue to lose.”

“However, if they take his advice and get authentic candidates — who may sometimes say things that are a little contradictory, or maybe it’s a little raw — people will forgive your warts and your contradictions if they think you’re being real.”
Jennings also responded to a clip of Jon Lovett on the “Pod Save America” podcast — which is hosted by several alumni of President Barack Obama’s White House — who said that he no longer believed President Joe Biden was running things in his own administration.
“These guys, by the way, coming to this conclusion here in December as Joe Biden is going out the door, when the rest of America came to this conclusion months and months and months and months and months ago is the funniest thing I’ve heard today,” he said.
