It's as simple as that. I will be more than pleased if no one else steps forward to offer themselves up as an alternative to Harris for President. It''s time to show appreciation to our current President and support for our soon to be President Harris. Regardless, at this point resistance to Harris is, as the Borg would say, futile. Virtually everyone else who has in the past been mentioned as a possible Democratic Presidential candidate in 2023 has already endorsed Harris. And the delegates that the Biden/Harris ticket won in the primaries aren't going to revolt in masse against the woman they signed up for once, who the President is asking them to support. Support for Harris keeps pouring in, along with the money she will need to win.
So I could care less if this or that super Democratic donor isn't thrilled about Harris for President. They can have a few days to get over it, and if they don't we don't need their checks. They may be rich but they don't have the votes, Kamala does. And we the people have the money we need to elect her.
Of course money has too much influence in politics. Duh. But big money interests don't have the means to keep the Harris train from rolling. Get on board or stay behind.

(23,016 posts)Fairly or not, many younger voters simply weren't enthused with Biden's candidacy, and can more easily relate to Kamala. That can make the difference in some swing states.
