Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after President Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.
The vice president has Biden’s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said in a statement. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Biden’s “extraordinary leadership,” saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.
She should take a woman as VP!
That’s… not a terribly pragmatic idea. These days, it’s a good idea to pick a running mate whose strengths balance out or cover for the ticket leader’s weaknesses (real or perceived). Here, that means an uncontroversial white dude, because America is unfortunately still quite racist and sexist.
She was always my first choice in 2016. She is not afraid of confronting trump or any other authoritarians around the world.

Statistically there had to be some…
But Kamala was the weakest in the 2020 primary.
She’s better than Joe, but she’s not popular. And her numbers reflect that
Hell, unless you had a typo I legit don’t even remember her running in 2016
I hate Cheeto Chimp. Unfortunately, Harris cannot win.
Counterpoint: Yes, she absolutely can.
Don’t fool yourself. It’ll hurt your feelings.
Don’t cut yourself on that edge, man.
Here in the real world, which you should spend some time in, Kamala Harris can win, but that doesn’t mean she will win, and people should recognize that, of course. But fuck fatalism.
She can’t.
Why do you say that? Can you explain yourself beyond just an absolute statement?
It’s self evident. If people want to ignore that there are multitudes of racist and sexist on the Dem side then that’s plain stupid.
