How Kamala Harris Is Recharging the Democratic Party

With the Democratic Party’s nomination sewn up and running mate Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota at her side, Vice President Kamala Harris is experiencing a groundswell of support, having raised a record $200 million in campaign donations in less than a week. The daughter of Black and South Asian parents, she would represent a series of firsts for America if she wins. Polls show voters, particularly those in swing states, reacting positively to her candidacy. But one of the big variables through November will be, as always, the US economy.

5:58 As a dad I want to be the only person to tell my daughter what to do, and then she will ignore me” 😂

Russian bots are really mad now that they can't post old joe comments.

[ccvxswz]

She’s not a cranky old man. After the past few months, that’s a pretty big advantage.

[ToddWilson-ebie]

She wasn't nominated for anything. She just slid right in there.

This is probably what happens in third world countries. People supporting a candidate based on superficialities.

Instead of talking about backgrounds and ethnicities, I want to hear about ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS factchecked and policies to IMPROVE INFLATION and providing more benefits to ACTUAL CITIZENS and VETERANS

When women rights started to be threatened and if Trump gets in office he will sign an order to ban abortions state wide there has never been a time as this for a woman to be President and when President Biden handed the baton to Kamala we all knew what we have to do. Its not really about policy right now, we as voters understand she was thrown into this so right now we are all here for the ride to get her to the White House. So if you are for JOY AND HAPPINESS THEN 💙💙HARRIS/ WALZ💙💙 IS FOR YOU

For those who have not seen what can be if you are an American it's safe to say you are missing the only option you will have to be a part of the future of America

She's Presidential, something we just can't say about Trump. She's got some of that Obama-cool many voters subconsciously want to bring back.

Besides, Trump is going to be much more fun on (social) media unencumbered by the shackles of holding office. Not even Republicans will want to miss out on that.

Vice President Harris is changing HIS/HER STORY! The Harris-Walz team is electrifying millions of Americans. As one young man stated in this video: "Everyone is enthusiastic about the future rather than looking back at the past." Harris & Walz offers Americans real hope, unity, attention to real issues that matter & joy rather than bitterness, division & pessimism.

[DrMFoster]

The video announces that economic issues are the most important, and then lists exclusively social issues as her policies. What about the housibg crisis, inflation, people drowning in debt? She'll have to make some rich people mad to win, she can't just leave the average American in the dust.

Black, South Asian daughter of immigrants on the ballot for the highest office of the land. Perhaps, America has indeed come a long way.

Amazing what not having to reenact Weekend at Bernie's every other day will do to your mood.

[lauraburk]

We love you both! I left the Republican party in 2016. I am now a registered Democrat and I couldn't be prouder to say I am voting for Harris and Walz to lead our great nation into the future!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[standardsupplies]

I forgot. How many votes did she get? Newsom would have been far better.

[joostamsterdam]

I wish I was in the US to enjoy this movement towards the future and away from hate and kleptocracy. The world is looking so much brighter.
