Vice President Harris said:
I think we all approach our campaign with the same spirit, including that this is truly a people-driven campaign, and without your support and your trust, I wouldn’t be on this call right now, nor would I I am deeply honored and grateful to be with you all. I am honored to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, and I want to tell you that the tireless work of our representatives, our national leaders, and staff has been critical to achieving this moment. Your dedication cannot be overstated. . Your dedication to our country.
You know, I know we all feel this strongly. We love our country. We believe in the promise of America and that’s what this campaign is about, so of course I will formally accept your nomination next week once the virtual voting period ends, but I’m already pleased to know that we have enough delegates to secure the nomination. Later this month, as we gather in solidarity in Chicago, we will have the opportunity to celebrate this historic moment together.
Kamala Harris changed the political game
None of this would be possible without President Biden laying the groundwork for Kamala Harris to become the nominee. If some Democratic elites get their way, the Democratic Party will plunge into complete chaos of “mini primaries” or public conventions.
The fact that Biden immediately endorsed Harris changed the entire scope of the process.
The rise of Kamala Harris is a game-changer
As Democrats fight among themselves over who should be the nominee, Trump will be high in the polls.
If Biden chooses to step aside, the only correct answer is Harris. She owns the national campaign organization and is a bridge to ensuring that President Biden’s most loyal supporters remain in the party.
Kamala Harris has changed the course of the 2024 election and the trajectory of American politics.
The Democrats are the party that has it all, while the Republican Party is sinking under the weight of the political pillar that is Donald Trump.
