CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings recapped Vice President Kamala Harris’ closing campaign message on Monday evening, arguing just before the nation’s first polls opened that there were a few gaping holes in Harris’ “turn the page” pitch.
Jennings, participating in a panel discussion, explained that the vice president’s closing pitch fell flat because her party had been in control of the White House for most of the decade she claimed to want to “turn the page” away from.

Kamala Harris – in a pitch for unity – says we must turn the page on the last decade, a period in which Dems occupied the White House 60% of the time. Had few thoughts on this last night on @cnn. pic.twitter.com/3Zjl6MdhFj

“She keeps saying we’re ‘turning the page on a decade,’ well, 60% of the last decade, Democrats have been in the White House — so, I guess in some weird way I agree that we have to turn the page, because six of the last ten years have had Democratic presidents in there, including the last four, and she’s been part of it,” Jennings explained.

“And so turning the page — you said she’s running on hope and change, I guess we’re going to hope — Democrats are going to hope for different results by leaving the same people in office, I’m not sure if that will work.”
Jennings went on to say that President Joe Biden had run on a similar promise — to “restore the soul of the nation” — but that appeared to have fallen by the wayside: “We’re more divided now than we have ever been.”
Biden’s promise to govern as a moderate, Jennings noted, had also evaporated along with the Democrats’ reassurances that Biden was not declining mentally.
“The Democratic Party told us he was in his right mind, and that turned out to be a lie too,” Jennings said. “So you’ll have to forgive Republicans for being a little skeptical of these ideas of unity and we’re all going to come together when that’s what we were told four years ago and we got none of it.”
