CNN Poll: 73% of Democrats Want Someone Other Than Kamala Harris as Nominee
Breitbart ^ | 07/24/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 07/24/2024 12:41:51 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Almost three-fourths of registered Democrats want someone other than Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s nominee, a CNN poll found Wednesday.

The finding exposes a lack of enthusiasm for Harris as the party’s de facto nominee, who appears to be hand-selected by top Democrats. By simply choosing Harris for the nomination instead of holding a democratic process, Democrats will nullify about 14 million votes cast during the Democrat primaries for President Joe Biden.

The poll asked Democrats/Democrat-leaning independents who are registered to vote and prefer the Democrat Party to nominate a candidate other than Harris in 2024. “Is there a specific person you’d like to see the Democratic Party nominate for president, or do you just want to see someone besides Kamala Harris?” the poll asked.

“This story misread poll results”

Seems that nothing’s ever right on the mark.

If you do a search on "Biden Names Harris Border Czar" you would expect to get a bunch of articles from 2021 when Biden DID name her Border Czar.

Instead, you get a bunch of current articles from liberal sources trying to deny that Que Mala was ever charged with taking care of the border. They are trying to wipe the web of her past disasters.

Here is a BBC article from 2021 that survives - for now:

Biden tasks Harris with tackling migrant influx on US-Mexico border

Here is the article if you want to avoid BBC:

Biden tasks Harris with tackling migrant influx on US-Mexico border

24 March 2021

The challenges facing Biden at the US-Mexico border

US President Joe Biden has put Vice-President Kamala Harris in charge of controlling migration at the southern border following a big influx of new arrivals.

Mr Biden said he was giving her a "tough job" but that she was "the most qualified person to do it".

The numbers of people arriving have grown since Mr Biden took office.

They include hundreds of unaccompanied minors who are being held in immigration detention facilities.

Mr Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, was widely criticised over his government's treatment of young migrants at the US-Mexico border.

Since January, the Biden administration has reversed a policy of turning away unaccompanied children, instead choosing to process them and place them with sponsoring families in the US.

But Mr Biden's critics say his policies have led to a surge in illegal migration.

In February, US Customs officials took more than 100,000 people into custody along the southern border, a 28% increase on the previous month.

Announcing Ms Harris's appointment as his immigration czar, Mr Biden told reporters and officials at the White House: "She's the most qualified person to do it, to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle [Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador], and the countries that are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks - stemming the migration to our southern border".

Mr Biden said Ms Harris's past work as California's attorney general made her well suited to leading the effort, adding: "When she speaks, she speaks for me."

In response Ms Harris said: "Needless to say, the work will not be easy. But it is important work."

Many of those arriving at the border have fled poverty and violence in Central America.

In an interview with CBS on Wednesday, Ms Harris said there was a need "to deal with the root causes... of what's happening in the Northern Triangle".

"Dealing with what we need to do around aid in a way that is about developing those countries so that we also deal with the cause of why people are coming into our country," she said.

For the first two months of the Biden administration, Vice-President Kamala Harris had the look of a presidential understudy, accompanying her boss to major events but never stepping into the spotlight on her own.

That just changed.

By putting her in charge of addressing the growing humanitarian crisis on the US-Mexico border, Biden has given Harris a significant portfolio laced with both political opportunity and peril. Her challenge is to prove that there is way to stem the tide of undocumented migrants coming to the US from Central America without resorting to what Democrats characterise as the Trump administration's draconian policies.

If she succeeds, Harris defuses an issue that the Republican Party - and Donald Trump, in particular - has used as an effective political weapon against her party, earning the gratitude of influential immigration activists. If she fails, the ensuing political fallout could derail the Biden presidency and overshadow all its early accomplishments.

Biden boasted that Harris, as a former California attorney general, is the person "most qualified" to handle the complex political, logistical and diplomatic challenges this immigration issue presents.

Harris now has the chance to prove it - and burnish any future presidential credentials along the way.

Earlier this week, pictures that emerged from a detention centre in Texas showed children huddled together in crowded makeshift rooms. They were sleeping on thin mattresses on the floor under foil blankets.

The government-run tent city in Donna at the US-Mexico border, is reportedly housing 1,000 people.

The photos, said to have been taken last weekend, also raised concerns over how much social distancing was taking place at the centre.

Journalists have not been allowed inside the detention centres since Mr Biden took office, although the White House has said that they will be.

On Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the administration was "committed to transparency and we'll continue to work with agencies on creating avenues for media access to and visibility into these facilities".

Since taking office, Mr Biden has ended construction work on Mr Trump's border wall and called for reviews of legal immigration programmes terminated by the former president.

To: right way right

You know, that’s not a bad idea! They can have a random 20 year old shoot her ear OUTSIDE from 140 yards away. I mean, it’s so easy to do that Trump staged it. Right?

So she should be willing to do the same thing, RIGHT?

the headline is misleading - the article says 76% prefer Harris; the 23% of those who don’t, prefer any unnamed candidate by 73%

on the flip side, this morning’s CNN poll showed Trump up 3 points over Harris

Disregard this poll. Democrats understand that they vote for party, not the person. Come November, she can still get 90 million or more votes.

McCain and Romney would have done better if their voters casted their votes for the party rather than the candidates themselves.
