Oh boy, I can't wait for armchair pundits who were calling for Joe to step down to now turn around and start to nitpick Harris as if that wasn't going to be the obvious successor.
I'm 100% behind Harris or anyone who gets the Dem nom. Trump must be stopped.
This is still a battle for America's soul. Are we going to accept the first female president or the first convicted felon president? I sure hope the left turns out for this one, even if they aren't super stoked about it, because we might never recover from another Trump disaster.
She's a very bland candidate, but at least she's not 80 and fading.
Whether that's enough to get people up off their arses and into voting booths, I don't know.
You really need somebody that's going to invigorate the centre and left, the way Trump excites the right. Dyed in the wool Dems don't care who the candidate is, they'd have been happy with Biden's corpse. The issue is there's not a lot of time left for experimentation in finding one.
A female candidate can put Roe v Wade in the limelight the entire campaign, and that's a really easy winning message (based on all the special elections since it was overturned)
It's not just pundits, Nancy Pelosi wants Harris off the ticket. I already donated to her campaign and called my reps to let them know that's a bad idea.
Harris is an absolute disaster. I’ve no problem with her whatsoever personally, but she has no charm and zero leadership skill. I wish these things didn’t matter but they do.
Yep. She gets my vote as a living, breathing person that seems healthy enough. I'm not excited to vote for her, and I'm really concerned about our chances with her, but she's not Trump and automatically gets my vote assuming she gets the nomination.
... Are you serious about the women's rights part? Republicans overturned Roe and they've lost every election with abortion rights on the ballot since.
