Kamala Harris thought she was staging a clever political comeback. Instead, she just handed her critics a masterclass in how not to launch a social media operation. The former Vice President’s newly rebranded “Headquarters” account crashed into a wall of mockery so hard that her team was forced to change the handle within hours of going live.
Here’s what happened: Harris announced Thursday that her failed 2024 campaign’s social media arm “Kamala HQ” was getting a makeover, complete with a new name and the handle “@headquarters_67.” The “67” was apparently a reference to some internet meme that completely backfired. The online reaction was so brutal that her team quietly switched to “headquarters68_” faster than you could say “damage control.” Even a CNN panel called the whole thing “cringe.”
But the real story here isn’t just another social media fumble. This botched launch is sending shockwaves through Democratic circles, with speculation mounting that Harris is gearing up for another White House run in 2028. One former Biden-Harris staffer didn’t mince words: “Everyone kind of felt nervous. It’s easier when she’s on the book tour. That’s predictable.” Translation: Democrats are already getting cold feet about Harris 3.0.
Harris tried to spin the disaster in typical fashion, posting that they’re just “counting up until you guys go back to caring about actual things that matter.” That’s rich coming from someone who just wrote an entire Substack post about how Democrats must get better at messaging and reaching voters, especially Gen Z. If this is her idea of improved messaging, the party might want to start looking for alternatives sooner rather than later.
