Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

      I know, Harris couldn’t have bent over more for reactionary conservatives that weren’t raving mad Trump supporters if she had tried.

      Then acting entitled to minority voters’ support even going so far as to scold some of them like black men.
