Republicans should be lighting candles, setting off fireworks and singing hymns of gratitude. Why? Because Kamala Harris might actually run again.

Her new book, "107 Days," is supposedly a reflection on her short-lived and disastrous presidential run, but let's be honest: It's a soft launch for 2028. Part memoir, part PR campaign and all delusional acts of fiction, the book's real purpose is to blame everyone else for her loss to Donald Trump by rebranding Harris as the victim of the very administration she helped run into the ground. And somehow, it's reportedly selling hundreds of thousands of copies, which is at least proof that Biden's deputy is able to sell something to the American people. Unfortunately, that something is not much more than expensive toilet paper.

But Republicans don't need to panic. Instead, we should be readying the popcorn, because no matter what fever-dream version of Kamala Harris she and her ghostwriters concocted in 107 Days, she isn't a threat. No, she's a reminder of why people voted for Donald Trump in the first place. She's a walking, talking, cackling campaign ad for the Republican Party in 2028.

It's not like Kamala only served under Joe Biden somewhere in his administration. She was the ultimate DEI hire who spent the 2020 primary calling him a racist sexual abuser before being chosen as his number two. Now, after years of awkward laughter, empty speeches and word salad, she thinks she can reinvent herself as a brave truth-teller who was betrayed by her boss, let alone the same boss whose clear mental decline she helped cover up?!

Kamala Harris simply cannot escape the fact that America has already seen this movie. She's the politician equivalent of a reboot nobody asked for — a sequel for an original you already hated. This is the same Kamala Harris who, in 2020, couldn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses before her campaign collapsed under the weight of her own unlikability. In office, she became the poster child for incompetence, handling the border crisis with the ability of a rotten grapefruit. And when the Biden administration finally fell apart after the "Biden is fine" lie became too absurd for even the mainstream media to repeat, she was right there, smiling and ready to claim credit for imaginary successes and deny responsibility for all-too-real disasters.

Now she wants a second chance? Please.

Even the Democratic Party knows Kamala Harris is political kryptonite, and she has as much chance at winning the nomination democratically in 2028 as she did in 2020. But if she does run, Republicans should welcome her as a living embodiment of everything that's still wrong with the modern left, and of the recent era of so-called progressivism just itching to make a comeback.

Kamala Harris needs to run for office and remind America what it looked like when she ran the show into the ground — inflation surging, borders collapsing, crime rising and leadership vanishing.

Kamala, please run again. We need our Momala back.
