Should Kamala Harris Be the 2024 Democrat Nominee?
Should Kamala Harris Be the 2024 Democrat Nominee?
Here’s The Scoop
Vice President Kamala Harris is rapidly advancing toward the Democrat Party nomination following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race, amassing enough delegates to solidify her standing.
Biden exited the race Sunday and swiftly endorsed Harris, leading to a cascade of support and endorsements from top Democrat officials and fundraisers. According to an Associated Press (AP) survey, several delegations gathered Monday night to “confirm their support for Harris, including Texas and her home state of California.”
“By Monday night, Harris had the support of at least 2,471 delegates,” the AP reported, noting she surpassed the 1,976 delegates required to secure the nomination on the first ballot. The outlet emphasized that no other candidate was mentioned by any delegate contacted for the survey.
Speaking to her campaign staff in Delaware, Harris expressed confidence in her team’s capabilities. She stated her intention to earn the nomination and ultimately win the election, vowing to “unite our Democratic Party, to unite our nation, and to win this election.”
“Our fight for the future is also a fight for freedoms,” Harris proclaimed. “The baton is in our hands.”
Rusty Hicks, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, noted that 75 to 80 percent of the state’s delegation voiced unanimous support for Harris on a Monday call. “I’ve not heard anyone mentioning or calling for any other candidate,” he said, celebrating what he called a “momentous” vote.
While the AP stopped short of declaring Harris the presumptive nominee, it acknowledged that “convention delegates are still free to vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention in August or if Democrats proceed with a virtual roll call ahead of the gathering in Chicago.”
Breitbart News reported that the Harris campaign raised “a staggering $81 million in donations within 24 hours, setting a fundraising record.”
Harris’s campaign revealed that more than 888,000 “grassroots donors” had contributed, with 60 percent being first-time donors in the 2024 presidential election. Additionally, 43,000 people pledged to make recurring donations to her campaign.
Kevin Munoz, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, said the team is witnessing “a broad and diverse coalition” coming together to support their efforts to connect with voters who will ultimately decide the election.

Harris’ plan will be the further destruction of our democracy and a continuation of Biden poor decisions. Harris plans on providing abortion and ceasing fossil fuels. Who knows what she intends to do with Supreme Court changed and freeing criminals.
She was put in charge of the Border; visited a less active area went to Mexico to discuss and all has been a disaster!! Now the Dems are attempting to report that she was not in charge of the border.
Harris showed her true color when she boycotted the Prime Minister’s ( of Israel) speech to Congress.
She is a disgrace to true and loyal Americans!
God Bless America w Trump/Vance!!!!!!!

Kamala does not have the overall experience to be president; she couldn’t even handle the border she was charged with. By voting for Kamala, we will continue in the downfall of America. Ask yourself if you or America are better off for Biden’s decisions. Here we are, trillions in debt, Americans living on the streets, and then Biden opens the border to millions of illegals, and for the sole reason for doing so was to vote for the Democrat party. Does anyone believe Kamala could negotiate a peace treaty with any country?
Most people know right from wrong, good from evil, liberal beliefs from conservative beliefs, and which party has driven America to the lowest point in our history, and Kamala states we are on track. I won’t get into the liberal movement of LGBTQ+ DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING other than to say God loves us all. Still, He has given us all freedom of choice to follow Him or the way of man.

I wasn’t gonna vote for Trump this time based on his unconscionable stance on Ukraine and my not wanting to promote his “revenge tour”, among other things. I know he would’ve won, I just wanted no part in his victory. That has, unfortunately, now changed. I’m gonna have to vote for Trump to keep Harris, (the woman so stupid she makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar – one who actually knows the meaning of “is”,) out of the White House. She’s too stupid and too dangerous to let win.

I thought we had people nominated for office by the people for the people not appointed for office. Those nominated are then voted on in a primary election. Then there is a general election were we the people elect a person to a public office. Kamala Herris was appointed not elected by the people for the people.
