Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) sharply dismissed Kamala Harris on Monday, arguing that the former vice president no longer carries political influence as he pushed back against her criticism of President Trump’s efforts to advance the SAVE America Act.
Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Kennedy responded to Democratic opposition to the election legislation by referencing a recent video in which Harris criticized President Trump’s decision to make the SAVE America Act a legislative priority.
“No disrespect, but Vice President Harris is no longer relevant. She had a shot and she missed. She can cozy up to the Lulu Lenins all she wants to,” Kennedy said, invoking Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin.
Kennedy continued his criticism by making clear that Harris’s views carry little weight with him.
“But she has me confused with somebody who cares what she thinks,” Kennedy continued to Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“I mean, she’s yesterday.”
In the video that prompted Kennedy’s remarks, Harris accused Republicans of creating barriers that could discourage voter participation. She claimed the GOP was putting up “obstacles to make it difficult to vote” and encouraged Americans to verify their voter registration, register if needed, and cast their ballots early.
Despite her defeat to President Trump in the 2024 election, Harris has continued to remain active in Democratic politics and is widely viewed as a possible contender for her party’s 2028 presidential nomination.
In recent weeks, she has urged Democrats to revisit several major institutional changes, including eliminating or restructuring the Electoral College, expanding the U.S. Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices, and granting statehood to both Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
President Trump defeated Harris in the 2024 election by a 312-226 Electoral College margin and also won the national popular vote by more than two million votes.
Since leaving office, Harris has remained visible on the campaign trail and online, endorsing Democratic candidates such as Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed while maintaining an active presence on social media.
