“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” he added.
One funny thing to note is that, outside of just overt racism, all the arguments to use against Harris (that were used in the last election and primarily from the left) are ones that…won’t exactly make her seem bad to conservatives. Like, are you really going to use a “she’s tough on crime” argument against her?
Republican voters are never going to change their preference to a democratic candidate based on who the Democratic candidate is. The people who have potential to vote for Democrats aren’t undecided in who they prefer, they’re undecided if they even care enough to vote at all. Getting more people motivated to vote who didn’t vote in the prior election is the only way to gain votes. That’s true for any Democratic or Republican candidate for president. Presidential candidates need to make sure that people who voted in the last election for their party’s candidate don’t become disinterested in voting in the current election.
The tough on crime reputation Harris has may demotivate otherwise likely voters for a Democratic candidate.
Oh they will ignore that and focus on something else.
I have 0% problem voting for and supporting Kamila, but…
We are doomed! Trump will win without cheating including the House and the Senate, he will scream “Mandate” and get another term too.
This is not the America Obama won in. Do you really belive a woman of color can be elected to lead this nation at this time in this climate?
I really hope I am wrong, I would love to eat the words above, but I am a realist.
I think we had/have one chance of hope. Senator Mark Kelly (Navy combat veteran and Astronaut) but the Democratic party leadership is full of braindead sycophant’s, that’s why we are here now.
Its definitely worrying. Even if she were the BEST candidate, Kamala Harris has an uphill battle in this country because she’s not white and a woman.
And she isnt the best and most popular choice which makes it tricky.
The problem is who else would they put on the ballet?
Honestly? I think she’s got this. I was really against the idea of derailing energy from the Biden campaign, but now that we’re here? I’m on board 100%. I have a good feeling.
She’s not Hilary. A sitting vice president probably has a better shot than a felon.
Fox News is already calling this a “successful coup carried out by the Dems against a sitting US president”.
The fact I’m seeing so many conservatives butthurt over this tells me it was the right choice. They knew they had it in the bag before he dropped.
And here comes Kamala with a steel chair!
Ah, what could have been…
