A call to organize white women to join Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign raised $11 million through a two-hour Zoom meeting.

Watts also talked about the organization and fundraising efforts for MSNBC’s The Katie Phang Show:

The amount of direct support is impressive and awe-inspiring. In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton with an approval rating of 47%-45% among white women. The group’s move to support Harris goes against recent trends in American politics.
What Trump and the Republicans fear most is happening. Voters are actively participating in the elections.
Most importantly, voters found Vice President Harris to be their preferred candidate, if the choice was to have a racist sit on our nation’s couches for the next four years, rummaging through our wallets while we sleep, or Khama La Harris, it looks like voters are quickly switching to Harris.
