In a recent interview with NewsNation's Dan Abrams, Tezlyn Figaro, who previously advised Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign, expressed strong opinions about Vice President Harris's unsuccessful run for the presidency. Figaro was unequivocal in her belief that Harris never stood a real chance, attributing this to President Biden's delayed withdrawal from the race and the influence of high-priced consultants. "They’re setting her up for a 100-day campaign, which was a disaster, especially for a woman of color," Figaro remarked.

Figaro criticized Biden for not stepping aside earlier to allow for a proper primary process. She also lambasted the so-called consultant class for squandering resources. According to Figaro, these consultants have failed candidates since Obama's time by ignoring grassroots movements and instead focusing on celebrity endorsements and neglecting the actual needs of voters. "They got exactly what they earned," Figaro stated, suggesting that their approach resulted in significant losses not just for themselves but ultimately for the electorate.

The aftermath of Harris's defeat saw many within the Democratic Party questioning their strategy of relying heavily on celebrity endorsements. Despite support from big names like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé—whose song "Freedom" became an unofficial anthem of Harris's campaign—these efforts did not translate into electoral success.

Figaro called for a fundamental shift in Democratic strategy towards prioritizing grassroots input over celebrity appeal. She highlighted the need to move away from figures like George Clooney and James Carville, who have traditionally wielded considerable influence within the party, arguing that their time dominating political strategy should come to an end if Democrats wish to succeed in future elections.

This criticism points to a growing conversation within the party about how best to connect with voters and build successful campaigns without relying excessively on high-profile endorsements or expensive consultants who may be out of touch with the electorate's core needs and values.
