Kamala Harris’ Gen-Z-focused account on X takes swipe at Trump’s failed political endorsements

Kamala Harris’ Gen-Z-focused social media page has taken a swipe at President Trump’s failed political endorsements.​Harris, who was defeated by Trump after jumping into the presidential race back in 2024, launched her account, Headquarters, back in February.​The account, which was repurposed from her previously campaign page KamalaHQ, regularly blasts the president over his public gaffes and policy decisions.​On Wednesday, the Headquarters account hit out at the commander-in-chief again, this time highlighting all of the candidates who were endorsed by Trump this year - only to lose their primaries.Former Vice President Kamala Harris's Gen-Z account on X has taken a swipe at President Trump over his political endorsements (Getty)​Several Republican heavy hitters made the list, including embattled Representative Cory Mills - the incumbent in the race - who lost the Republican primary for Florida’s 7th District on Tuesday.Representative ​Andy Ogles, who previously wrote on X that “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” also featured on the Headquarters list, having lost his House primary in Tennessee earlier in August.​“Andy is a Conservative Warrior who has strong support from his Community,” Trump had written on Truth Social, referencing Ogles.​Burt Jones and Pamela Evette, both sitting Lieutenant Governors running to become governors in their respective states, Georgia and South Carolina, also featured.​Trump’s endorsement has long been highly coveted by Republican politicians, although, increasingly, cracks appear to be forming in his MAGA base.​Former loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene, who infamously broke with Trump over the Epstein files, wrote on X this week: “I can’t remember the last time I saw someone wearing a maga (sic) hat or Trump shirt.”Representative Cory Mills was highlighted as one person who lost their primary despite having an endorsement from Trump (Getty)​Meanwhile, an analysis by The New York Times suggested that viewership of right-wing influencers’ accounts on YouTube, X, and Rumble has plummeted in recent months.​Harris, who lost in a landslide to Trump, has continued to make public appearances since her defeat and even embarked on an international book tour promoting her tell-all book about the 2024 campaign, 107 Days.​Harris has also consistently been a frontrunner in polls tracking who will become the next Democratic presidential candidate, but recently had one of her own endorsements in a U.S. Senate race dismissed.​The former vice president had thrown her support behind Alaskan Mary Peltola, who would go on to win the Democratic Senate primary, last week.​“If there’s anyone who can flip Alaska and secure the Senate majority for Democrats – it’s Mary,” an email sent to supporters and signed by Harris read.Harris was defeated by Trump back in 2024, after a late entry by the then-vice president into the race (AFP/Getty)​Peltola’s spokesperson later dismissed the endorsement in a statement handed to KTUU, using a term for the contiguous U.S.​“Mary isn’t seeking endorsements from anyone from the Lower 48 – her focus is and always will be Alaska,” the spokesperson said.​Nate Adams, the spokesperson for Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan, hit out at the endorsement in a statement given to The Guardian.​“Kamala Harris supported the Biden administration’s disastrous anti-Alaska agenda, which is why Alaskans rejected her by double digits,” the statement read.The full Headquarters list of candidates who received a Trump endorsement and lost their primaries includes: Cory Mills, (FL-7)Catalina Lauf, (FL-19)Jon Maples, FL HD-87Megan Degenfelder, WY Gov.Mike Lindell, MN Gov.Andy Ogles, (TN-5)Amir Hassan, (MI-8)Pamela Evette, SC Gov.Burt Jones, GA Gov.Randy Feenstra, IA Gov.Bruce Borders, IN HD-45Brenda Wilson, IN SD-38Phil Berger, NC SD-26Sid Miller, TX Commissioner of Agriculture
