Kamala Harris, Time cover girl: Is her surge against Trump fueled by an endless media honeymoon?

It’s all about the vibe.

A word not usually associated with presidential politics — more with late night parties and a bong — is now the only thing that matters. At least if you’re Kamala Harris.

She’s on the cover of Time — with an admiring sketch that makes it look like she’s already president — because of "the swiftest vibe shift in American political history."

DESPITE RUNNING MATE’S ULTRA-LIBERAL RECORD, MOST OF THE MEDIA JUMP ON THE WALZ-WAGON

Is that all it takes to win? It doesn’t hurt that the vice president has surged in the polls, raised truckloads of cash, become a cultural phenomenon, had a relatively successful rollout of Tim Walz, and will get a further bump from the Democratic convention.

But after that, will it prove to be a sugar high? Will her numbers slide back to where they were in the face of Republican attacks?

For the time being, at least, Donald Trump seems off balance, his attacks on Harris aren’t sticking, and he openly pines for Joe Biden after spending years preparing to run against the frail 81-year-old president.

What’s more, with Biden bowing out, Trump, at 78, is now the old man in the race. And many of the pundits who spent their time defending Biden’s mental acuity have now flipped into arguing that Trump is just losing it.

I thought he disproved that in his hour-long press conference, though he does have a tendency to ramble. It reminded me of our recent Mar-a-Lago interview, when he was sharp and serious across at least 15 topics.

But the media, which have been largely anti-Trump for nine years, trashed the presser. "Wackadoodle," said HuffPost. "Unhinged," said Rolling Stone.

Still, how did it help him to say that his inaugural crowd was as big or bigger than for MLK’s famous 1963 "dream"
