Once Derided, Harris Suddenly Stands at Brink of Leading Democratic Ticket

Vice President Kamala Harris got off to a rocky start in office. She is now at the heart of a political drama that could make her the first woman of color to become a major party presidential nominee.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who has struggled for nearly four years in President Biden’s shadow, was thrust on Sunday into the center of a remarkable political drama that could culminate with her becoming the first woman of color at the top of a major-party presidential ticket.

Mr. Biden’s decision to abandon his re-election bid and endorse Ms. Harris to succeed him puts her in a powerful, but not certain, position to become the new face of the Democratic Party, charged with preventing former President Donald J. Trump from returning to the Oval Office for another four years.

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump,” Mr. Biden wrote in a social media post after he announced his decision to step aside. “Let’s do this.”

Ms. Harris and her team are likely to move swiftly to try to seize that mantle even as uncertainty swirled about whether other Democrats would seek to challenge her for the nomination at the party’s convention in Chicago next month.

In a statement, Ms. Harris thanked Mr. Biden for the endorsement, saying that his “legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history.” She vowed to “earn and win this nomination” and to keep Mr. Trump from serving another four years in the White House.

“We have 107 days until Election Day,” Ms. Harris wrote. “Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

Like I've written before, he didn't do it for the good of the country; he did it for the good of his party.

To think, what an inspiration she is to all modern American women.

She proves that an average woman sucking d##k as a career can have a shot at being president, and it doesn’t have to have anything to do with her competency, intelligence, or achievements.

Since Joe has dropped out, will Kamy fill in at the 2nd debate in September? The press is drooling over her coronation by Trump.

Pete BootyJudge will be VP candidate. Checks all the same woke boxes the Biden regime pushed.

1st “black” female, 1st gay male ticket for national office. The failed media will outdo itself in their hysteria about how “historic” it is.
