Immediately after President Biden endorsed Kamala Harris, money has kept pouring in from supportive donors. Act Blue is reporting that the Harris for President campaign has raised $46 million just today. Her entrance into the Presidential race is raising a lot of excitement nationally, particularly among younger voters. As it should. Americans no longer have to choose between two octogenarians.
Listen, don't try to put a "liberal" label on me. I reject these labels. I have supported good Republican Presidential candidates in the past, including Ronald Reagan and the late great John McCain. However, I have said many times that any candidate I vote for must have a moral compass and integrity.
And many good Republicans agree with me. Republicans had no problem throwing out George Santos from Congress. He's due to go on trial for fraud. Similarly, I want Democratic Senator Bob Menendez to get expelled after he was found guilty of bribery. C'mon already. Why is he even allowed to be there right now?
No way I'm going to vote for Trump - a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and a man under arrest for racketeering and conspiracy to overturn an election. A traitor who sent a mob to the Capitol and did nothing while his crazed followers assaulted 140 police officers, broke in and threatened to hang Mike Pence.
Kamala Harris went from U.C law school graduate to San Francisco DA to Attorney General of California to US Senator to US Vice President. She's tough on crime, and she's the embodiment of the American dream.
I can see her running a campaign where young people in the "uncommitted" camp, especially in Michigan, would vote for her over Biden. She's also going to be very helpful in swing states like Georgia. For working class people, she'll remind voters that it's the Democratic party that pushed for a higher national minimum wage, and it was her party's President who marched in solidarity with union workers. For the middle class, she'll campaign on her administration's record of the longest streak of record low unemployment, a record high stock market, and 15 million jobs created. On inflation, she can point to wage growth having beaten inflation for 12 straight months, prices for many goods coming down last month, and policies she'll continue such as lowering prescription drug prices.
I'm pumped. Let's join hands and do this. We're going to have a President Harris in the White House next year.
