Kamala Harris dives into midterm fight only to get roasted for never having ‘an original thought in her life’
Former Vice President Kamala Harris urged Democrats to vote in large numbers in the 2026 midterms, saying Republicans were attempting to “cheat” and calling for turnout “too big to rig”. Her use of the phrase, previously associated with Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign rhetoric, drew criticism and mockery from several conservative commentators cited by Fox News.
Harris linked her warning to continuing legal disputes over Trump administration mail-voting policies, arguing they could make postal voting harder. The Supreme Court allowed parts of the policy to proceed temporarily while litigation continues, but a federal judge separately blocked the Postal Service from enforcing new mail-ballot requirements; the underlying legality has not yet been decided.
- Harris urged high Democratic turnout for the 2026 midterms.
- Critics highlighted her use of Trump’s “too big to rig” phrase.
- Mail-voting restrictions remain subject to ongoing legal challenges.
Both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Harris’s call for a large turnout can be seen as a conventional appeal to democratic participation, particularly while disputes over mail voting rules remain unresolved. Using a phrase familiar from Trump’s own campaign may help make the warning vivid and underscore her argument that voters should not take access to the ballot for granted.
The case against
Critics can reasonably argue that borrowing a slogan associated with Trump makes Harris’s message seem derivative and weakens her claim to be offering a distinctive response. They may also see “too big to rig” as needlessly echoing rhetoric about election integrity, risking further distrust when the legal disputes are still unsettled.
