Within a day, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of GOP nominee Donald Trump ended Vice President Kamala Harris' honeymoon bounce from the Democratic National Convention, former Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow wrote Friday in the New York Sun.

"Kennedy just wiped-out Kamala's DNC speech from the news cycle," Kudlow wrote.

In his column, Kudlow highlighted several key points of Kennedy's speech, such as the Democratic National Committee's efforts to block him from the ballot in November, efforts to block free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on children.

"Not only has the Kennedy news stepped on and nearly buried any Harris speech news from last night," Kudlow wrote. "There was, though, basically nothing much in serious policy terms coming out of that speech, although it was well-delivered."

Kudlow spent the remainder of the column calling out Harris, stating she lied in her convention speech about Trump's wanting to cut Medicare and Social Security, that Trump has invoked Project 2025, and that he wants to instill a national abortion ban.

As far as Harris' own policies go with regard to the economy, which she made little to no mention of during her speech, Kudlow wrote that it was "sort of like Ms. Harris was saying: I'm not Mr. Biden, and I haven't been in the White House these past nearly four years."

"Wait a minute, though, you have been in the White House as a key player," he wrote, "and you have supported the Bidenomics tax and regulate and spend agenda, and war on fossil fuels, and the affordability crisis where prices have increased faster than wages because of your overspending."

Regardless of Harris' vague position on the economy, "Mr. Kennedy's direct and specific reasons for the Trump endorsement and turning on his undemocratic Democrats," Kudlow added, are "why he's winning the news cycle. And that's why he's given Trump a very big leg up to win the election."
