#Democrats quickly rallied around Vice-President #KamalaHarris as their likely presidential nominee on Sunday in a volatile and fast-moving political situation just months before the November election.
Donors rushed to donate to the party, with $30m raised by Sunday evening. One strategist said it might be the “greatest fundraising moment in #DemocraticParty history”. #Biden#Kamala
Main Stream Media & the GOP spent the last several weeks talking almost exclusively about President Joe Biden's age ... so let's see if they stay on-topic and continue those concerns regarding Diaper Don who is 78 (VP Harris is 59) and soils himself. So yeah, let's keep talking AGE!
"President Joe Biden has chosen to put his country over his own ego, a heroic decision that shows the difference between a political party and a cult of personality. ...
Now that Biden is stepping down, perhaps all the false equivalency can end. Biden is a good man, and he’s been a good and consequential president with a first-term record most of his predecessors would envy."
"Biden’s decision is now also a challenge to every voter in the pro-democracy coalition to live by their words. For two years, many Americans lamented the choice between the aging Biden and the dissolute, unbalanced Trump. Their wish has been granted: They will now likely have a choice between a shouty, 78-year-old habitual liar whose life is a record of shame and failure"
"For three and a half years, she has been the person the national-security apparatus would turn to if anything happened to the president. She’s become stronger and stronger as a public figure. The party doesn’t have the luxury of wasting time figuring out who else can gain support. For the party it’s time to mobilize behind her…."
"The endorsements have continued to roll in since Biden led the way, with President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and Representative James Clyburn, the South Carolina Democrat who launched Joe Biden’s successful run in 2020, following suit."
"And as one of my friends pointed out, this means that so many of Trump’s 'arguments' are gone in one fell swoop: President Biden’s age, Hunter Biden, the whole 'Biden crime family' corruption allegations. All out the door.
This is the poetic justice the country has been looking for and richly deserves: A highly qualified, talented Black woman, a former prosecutor, will be the one to take down Donald Trump."
"Donald Trump and Chris LaCivita are about to hit Kamala Harris with an avalanche of racist and sexist attacks and a ton of slut-shaming. Democrats across the board need to be saying now what we all know, which is that this will bring out the very worst of Trump. Racism and sexism are his brand. Charlottesville is his brand."
"Nothing says women refuse to accept second-class citizenship like electing one. I have no doubt she can do it, and I look forward to watching the support she receives from Hillary Clinton, her sorors, and pretty much everyone in America who loves democracy. We have work to do!"
