Here’s the latest from the campaign trail.

Vice President Kamala Harris made an appeal on Wednesday to the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc, Black women, as she met with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority in Indianapolis, one of the nation’s oldest Black sororities.

Though the event was officially a White House event, she delivered a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin, reciting the Biden administration’s accomplishments and attacking former President Donald J. Trump.

Here’s the latest from the campaign trail. Vice President Kamala Harris made an appeal on Wednesday to the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc, Black women, as she met with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority in Indianapolis, one of the nation’s oldest Black sororities.

Though the event was officially a White House event, she delivered a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin, reciting the Biden administration’s accomplishments and attacking former President Donald J. Trump.

Harris barely said Trump’s name in her speech today and she walked off to a trumpet fanfare instead of Beyonce’s “Freedom,” but the substance of her remarks and contrast with Republicans were quite similar to her campaign rally yesterday in Wisconsin. Expect that to continue as her campaign progresses.

“We are not playing around,” Harris said to laughs and applause in the crowd. She gave a full-throated message on the Democrats’ policy position on abortion access, saying she would “sign it into law.” This is quite the contrast from Biden’s garbled remarks about Roe v. Wade at the debate.

Did she speak in her ebonics slang?

"I'm out here in the streets girl",
"They to extremist to know what we about",
"We too busy watchin to hear whatchoo sayin"

Seriously?

Kamala Harris is such a fraud. She is in search of an (fake) identity. Very troubled person.

[glennaro]

Ah, an excellent point ... and another tribute to the wisdom and to the depth of understanding of human nature of the Founders.

AND....

“Though the event was officially a White House event, she delivered a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin, reciting the Biden administration’s accomplishments and attacking former President Donald J. Trump. “

Isn’t that a violation of Federal Campaign Law ???

Will she be campaigning in churches as well ?

Harris Promises to Build on Biden’s Record: ‘We Are Not Playing Around’
That sounds like a threat to me and most Americans !!!

[Bobbyvotes]

Kamala does not fit definition of a hooker. She is an opportunist. A hooker will engage anyone. Kamala engaged only people like Willi Brown who helped boost her career.

Quite a record all right - a record of chaos & destruction. Maybe Cackles could competently expedite the breakout of a world war that's been simmering around for 2 plus years.

I recall a political cartoon, circa 1976 regarding Wayne Hays.

There was a sign outside the Capitol saying, “Caution: Congressmen Playing” - with a silhouette sign of a man chasing a woman.

[ponygirl]

She gave a full-throated message…

[ponygirl]

Kamala is a groupie starf**ker.

[butlerweave]

First she has to find out what Joe’s record is but that may take more than 4 years

"Black women, as she met with the Zeta Phi Beta sorority"

I wonder how many of those SB's think Scamala is really black?

[MtnClimber]

‘We Are Not Playing Around’

That is Commie-speak for use of force.

[Fledermaus]

What record?

High inflation? Millions of illegals? Killing electricity?

[EBH]

I rather take her seriously at those words.

Oh I have a lot to say these days, rolling around in my head, connecting dots. Very little surprises me these days. Told several folks a while ago...going to be a ‘hot’ summer.

The days are getting hotter. Lately I start with the “early debate” meme. Yeah, we fell for that trap hook, line, and sinker. It was all planned to go down, just the way it is. That was no surprise for them, they needed to pull the rug out. It didn’t matter if Trump won.

Said months ago neither Biden/Trump would be on the ticket. Man, look how close we come. It ain’t over yet. Trump still has sentencing in September.

Connect them dots of information ...yeah, she means it when she says; “We Are Not Playing Around.”

[BenLurkin]

Probably recognize she would be forced to use the “colored” drinking fountain, regardless.

And sit in the back of the bus.

[Liz]

Laws mean nothing to the corrupt Biden crowd.

[MikeSteelBe]

You are right. She is “black enough”.

[griswold3]

Year Zero with Kamala Harris

[SMARTY]

“... ‘We Are Not Playing Around’...”

Ha! That sentence sounds like it ought to end with “...anymore.”
