The new Republican attack lines against Kamala Harris candidacy explained | DW News

Democratic heavyweight Nancy Pellosi has finally jumped aboard the rolling Kamala Harris bandwagon and endorsed the vice president's bid to become the party's presidential nominee. This turn of events came about, of course, after Joe Biden announced that he would not run again - despite everything he's said in the past - as questions about his age and mental acuity mounted.

Kamala Harris now appears to be the Chosen One, with even potential rivals like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer backing her. So, is she the person to beat Donald Trump?

Omg I’ve lived in the states too long. I forgot how incredible real news is like. How refreshing.

[porecemusnox]

Trump is now the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. American history - the irony!

[mikewilliams]

There was no nominee yet. Nominee is not determined until delegates vote at the convention.

[mikehart]

Not a legitimate candidate??? Ms. Harris is constitutionally qualified. She had declared her candidacy. Since the website has converted over to Harris for President I assume she has filed the proper paperwork. So she IS a candidate. If and when the convention nominates her, she will be the nominee.

My goodness the republicans are terrified of Harris.

[dingoeatswolf]

Judging by the comments, looks like republicans are running scared. Anything to bring Harris down. How about you just take yourselves to the voting booths and vote on the day for your preferred candidate and then we’ll see the outcome 😁…although one person won’t accept a negative outcome if that eventuates. 😂

[reidflemingworldstoughestm]

You know what a scared Republican sounds like?


_That person is not a legitimate candidate!_

[ashaide]

Why not? The Democrats haven't had their Convention; that's for this August.

So... why?

MAGA (and the Russians) already miss Biden.

[eamonnsiocain]

🤣 The Republicans think they can nominate a Democratic candidate 🤣

[joeyvico]

The greatest and saddest joke in modern history is american politics

[theChiral]

Why does one's race and biological orientation matter? Nobody is talking about her competence

[robtangent]

A prosecutor vs a convicted criminal for president of the United States.

[koromosmajuliius]

THE CHOICE IS BETWEEN A Procecutor AND A CONVICTED CRIMINAL !!! You choose America 😂😂😂

[FrantaPo-bcmu]

I wish Schwarzenegger could run for president.

[eventh]

If democrats want to win they will nominate RFK

[jakebe]

If you are a young woman who wants control of her own body, will you be voting for Don the Con? I don't think so.

[davithsok]

I Canadian support VP Kamala Harris as candidacy of Presidential bid...

[oceanside]

The gqp? The party leader is a felon? Those guys?

[combatepistemologist]

I'm looking forward to seeing a GOP lawyer trying to explain to a judge why the Republican party has standing to bring suit against the Democratic party's selection process for presidential candidates.
