Kamala Harris Hits $75K Met Gala—Drops All Pretense of Middle Class Concern

Former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is facing sharp criticism after attending the 2025 Met Gala in New York City on Monday night—a luxury event with a $75,000 price tag per ticket—while millions of Americans continue to feel the weight of persistent inflation and economic hardship, caused by the Biden admin, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Harris, accompanied by her husband Doug Emhoff, made what fashion outlet Vogue called a “surprise appearance” at the star-studded fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

She wore a custom black-and-white silk gown by IB Kamara, the Creative Director of Off-White, a fashion label known for its ties to high-end celebrity culture.

Harris reportedly avoided walking the red carpet but was photographed inside the event mingling with celebrities, fashion industry leaders, and other high-profile guests.

The night before the gala, Harris and Emhoff dined at The Polo Bar, an upscale Manhattan restaurant.

Their outing involved extensive security measures, including 25 Secret Service agents, four bulletproof vehicles, and three additional SUVs, further reinforcing the elite status of a figure who once campaigned as a champion of the people.

Critics quickly took to social media and news outlets to call out the optics of Harris attending such an elite spectacle during a time of national economic anxiety.

Not even pretending to be in touch with everyday Americans, I see.

Stop trying to sell Kamala to us.

We made it good and clear we don’t give a damn last November.

It’s never happening. Give up.

Many compared the moment to similar controversies involving out-of-touch political figures, pointing out that this type of behavior stands in stark contrast to the example set by the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump, who is currently serving his second term, has repeatedly rejected the perks of political office, donating his entire presidential salary and regularly highlighting the importance of putting America’s workers first.

The contrast has not gone unnoticed among voters, especially as the current administration continues to receive praise for rebuilding the economy and prioritizing border security and domestic manufacturing.

This marked Harris’s first appearance at the Met Gala since leaving office. Though some politicians have attended in the past, such appearances have generally been rare—particularly for those who recently held high office.
