I love that even her husband and Governor Walz & his family, didn’t know about Kamala’s surprise appearance, the first night of the DNC. She is full of surprises! Harris-Walz 2024 🇺🇸

I ADMIT: I'm no Christian. I'm not American. I'm known for keeping my emotions under control. And then came Raphael Warnock.
I admit: Had to cry – in Switzerland.

"I love my job, but I love my country more." Joe Biden is an incredible man. Character counts.

Remember, NO MATTER HOW FAR AHEAD Democrats may seem in the polls, they still can’t win without your vote. VOTE .

He hit the right notes beautifully. He works with heart soul, determination and grit. No one like him. So proud to have him as my President and protector of The Union these United States.

I think people should start talking to Californians and ask us why WE voted for Kamala Harris 6 times for office we'll tell you. So everyone can stop being surprised she's doing so well.

It was worth waiting up for! Thank you Joe! I loved seeing Hillary responding to chants of "Lock HIM up!", it hit me in all the feels!

[eileenreilly]

I'm not crying. Okay, yeah I'm crying. It was wonderful!!!! Loved AOC, Warnock, Raskin, Crockett and HRC. Just fantastic. President Joe was the perfect man to bridge the horrible past of dumpy to the fabulous hopeful future. He deserves his place in history as one of the best presidents, EVER.

Thank you Mr. President for all you have done to save our democracy. I love the USA 💙 America is great 💙

[maraplantrees]

I love how BIDEN got a five minute ovation of love 💗.
Trump will never experience that and his fuming about it.

[lindsey]

Some of us didn't want Biden to drop out because we were loyal to a president that gave our families real opportunities again. Biden is the only reason we can buy a house now! That being said, I'm super excited to vote for Harris.

[eliassalcedo]

This is why I watch Morning Joe.
They make fun great and excellent for the country 🇺🇲.Not hate, anger and lies like the sued competition.

[laurirohr]

We werent worried it would be Kamala....we were worried it WOULDN'T be.
Joe took care of that!💙
He knew what he was doing.
He chose Kamala & so do we!
Such a shame that media wasnt loyal the way they should have been.
All of you.
Shame.
Harris/Walz 2024
