Was anyone surprised?
VP Kamala Harris now has the support of enough Democratic delegates to be the party’s nominee.
Not only that, she raised a record number of donations, totaling over $83,000 in 24 hours.
Trending on social media.
Volunteers signed up in record numbers as well.
As Harris re-energizes the Presidential race and, indeed, the country, she nailed her first public speech.
“Over the next 106 days, we are going to take our case to the American people, and we are going to win,” Harris said during a visit to campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Del., where she was greeted by a group of energized staffers for Biden’s now-abandoned candidacy. Harris accused Trump of wanting to “take our country backwards to a time before many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights.” She added, “We believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans.”
A hoarse Biden, still recovering from COVID, thanked his staff on a call and urged them to support Harris with “every bit of your heart and soul.”
