I live in rural southern Arkansas. I don’t talk politics with my neighbors. If I see a television playing anywhere it’s not tuned to MSNBC. But even isolated out here I can feel the energy. It’s remarkable, and very exciting, and Kamala Harris is part of why it’s happening.
I recently was congratulating a Mexican friend on the wonderful enlightened election result his country was enjoying, and lamenting at how our country seemed to be headed backward. Today he called me to discuss the new possibility of something just as fantastic happening here.
What an incredible turn of events.

JD Vance has no convictions but his running mate has 34, is the best line I’ve heard so far & should be a National slogan

[Ozworldz]

She needs to attach his lies front and center, to his face and expose him as a liar. No one has ever done that, never.

[yeahdude]

They can’t abort JD Vence now, they must carry him to term.

I love that Kamala, at 59, is being called young. She's 3 years older than me; I feel positively sprightly 😊

Trump's BIGGEST grievance against Biden announcing that he will decline the party nomination and recommend Kamala Harris is that NOBODY is TALKING about him in the media anymore. What about my ear tampon...he shouts!

[Jeff-crho]

So the Dems waited until the GOP had their VP and then switched everything up after the GOP convention. It is absolutely the best scenario ever. Harris gets to have the last move with her VP pick. If any of this was intentionally timed, it was brilliant

[michaelmallin]

Enthusiasm! What a difference a day makes. I would say, in the chess game of politics, Joe Biden has effectively moved his Queen into an attacking position.

[janiekcarney]

I sick of the people with money paying no taxes and picking our candidates

[peacefull]

DONALD TRUMP AT 78, IS THE OLDEST NOMINEE OF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES TO EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT. WHO'S THE OLD GEEZER NOW?

[dorislo]

Absolutely no idea why any woman in US would vote for JD Vance.

[george]

@0:45 Stephanie's ear to ear grin says it all. Renewed excitement. My how things can change in just a few short hours.

[ms.p]

Let’s go! I respect President Biden. But I am so elated to see this new change so we can continue the fight to preserve our Democracy and our country. Protect this country from this hostile takeover, toxicity and prevent Project Hate 2025.

[mahanihajimelan]

I hope Rep Tim Ryan will run for the Senate again for Ohio. Now that JD Vance is gone. And I wish Mr Ryan will win this time. 🙏

[philgroves]

I predict Donnie will fire Vance ... and claim that he never knew him ... didn't know him well ... he only met him once, maybe.

[Rick-qfde]

The prosecutor and the criminal.... !!!

[LogicAndReason]

Even Nikki Haley's Voters PAC is supporting Harris. Gotta love it.

[stephenhenion]

Nice to see Tim Ryan again!
A man with class!🇺🇸

[daynajones]

If you are still undecided, you are clearly not paying attention and deserve to live under a dictatorship. Zero tolerance for these people

[paulstevens]

I love Kamala's ability to laugh and be happy in her disposition but most of all I love that she is laughing at what GOP people say because the nonsense they espouse is hilarious at best and disturbing at its worst. Her face lights up when she laughs. Trump just has that smirk he puts on, like its disingenuous. Awful man v Beautiful woman. Go Kamala you are going to win the election.
