There is so much riding on the election in November. We need a leader who will stand up for reproductive freedom. A leader who understands that supporting caregivers leads to healthier families and a stronger economy. A leader who knows that when women have their full power in society, we all thrive.
I am supporting Vice President Kamala Harris because she is that leader. She has an inspiring vision for Americaand she has the experience to make it a reality. The issues she prioritizes are the ones that matter to voters. She has been crisscrossing the country to make the case for reproductive rights while courts and state legislatures are trying to take them away. She spearheaded legislation to eliminate racial disparities in maternal health care. She is leading on policies to make paid leave, child care, and elder care more affordable for families.
I am proud to support Vice President Harris. During her years in the White House, she has proven that she knows how to lead through crises while pushing for the change we need. I want her fighting for our country for the next four years.

IIRC, Eloon is giving Shitler $45M per month after he said he wouldn't donate to either candidate.

She is showing us where she stands early on, not testing a wet finger to the wind. You go, gurl!

I was wondering when she would. I had no doubt she would endorse Kamala, but I wanted her out front right away. She has a lot of influence not to mention money.

Melinda needs to drop a cool billion dollars into the Harris SuperPAC and let's get this done.
Show. Me. The. Money.

Shes a good person. She tries to do something good with her life. Shes been traveling all over the world to poverty stricken places, abusive governments that put down women, etc. Shes got a good heart and shes out to help people and that certainly resonates with Kamala And Joe and other people like that, that are also trying to do good work with their life .
No doubt she will be there to provide whatever financial support will help Kamala over the finish line. Shell be right there with us cheering when that happens.
