Harris races to lock down support after Biden drops out
The Hill ^ | 7/21/24 | Mychael Schnell

Posted on 07/21/2024 6:21:28 PM PDT by Libloather

Vice President Harris is racing to lock down support for her White House bid, just hours after President Biden announced that he would no longer seek reelection.

Harris on Sunday spoke with the chairs of three key coalitions on Capitol Hill: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) of the New Democrat Coalition. All three have backed Harris for the nomination.

She also spoke with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) — ”She is ready to win in Wisconsin!!!” he said on the social platform X — and Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) said he heard from her staff.

“Her team is fully activated and phones are ringing, emails are blowing up, this thing is rolling,” Huffman told The Hill in a brief interview Sunday. “This has taken off like a rocket ship.”

Asked what the sentiment of his conversation was, Huffman responded: “Let’s roll.”

The full-court press on Capitol Hill comes as Harris looks to turbocharge her nascent presidential campaign after Biden announced that he would no longer seek the party’s nomination.

Biden was facing mounting pressure from Democrats to reconsider his decision to run amid concerns following his disastrous debate performance last month. The president was at first defiant, consistently saying he would not step aside, but reversed his position on Sunday, quickly endorsing Harris for the job.

“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” Biden said on X. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”

Rushing to lock down the Democrat “Super Delegates”.

I am surprised she is hustling for the racist, and extremist, wing of the Democrat party. I would think that as a “black” female she would all ready own that vote

LOL. Sure it has.

I thought Trump was the “danger to democracy”. What she is trying to do is circumvent democracy. And she wants to do that by not allowing her fellow Democrats to choose their candidate.

That sounds like a coup within the Dems. I’d be pissed.

Commie Harris is the twin of Bernie Sanders and equally Communist.

Almost too much to hope for. The Democrats have a brief respite, in that unusually large amounts of cash are now flowing back to their coffers from the big-bucks contributors, now that Joe is no longer a factor.

But “Que mala” Harris has a lot of baggage of her own, and it is still enough to sink the bid for a Democrat Socialist hegemony over all the politics in the United States.

Just like 2020, the election fraud machine is going to be put into operation, to “elect” an unpopular and unlikeable candidate to the office of the Presidency, and drag in a number of Senators and Congressmen as well, all with the same lockstep mentality.

So we shall have to make them obey their own rules, and not permit them to take the cheats and shortcuts, but call them as quickly as the lapses and funny business “tricks” occur.

I wonder if Harris will pick the Hildebeast for VP, win by election fraud, resign, and we have President Hildebeast. Is that about the most nightmarish scenario there ever could be?

Democrats are dumb and think people are statistics they are not...you have primaries to get real results...Kamala Harris could not win a democratic primary for president even if there was time do one this year.

Unless you have TDS there is no way you think this depleted version of Biden is worse than Kamala Harris...he was their strongest candidate...they are truly dumb...TDS as destroyed their brains.

Expect Trump to win ME, NH, VA, MN, NM and maybe COL and NJ

A lame attempt to get everyone to support Heels Up Harris. Basically the plan is ... ok let get like 30 or so Democrats to endorse her, but lets stretch it out over the entire day with like 1 coming out every 15 to 30 minutes to make it look like everyone is backing Harris.

The Hill may want to discuss this with the New York Times editorial board:

These lefties need to get their story straight.

Classic astroturfing—every campaign veteran knows to fake it until you make it.
