Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, the first woman and first woman of color to be elected as vice president, highlighted her historic trajectory to the White House during remarks delivered Saturday evening outside the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware.
She gave an excellent speech. Just great.
Kamala has the gift.
So how did it play out? I was working on the car all day and only found out when my mother called me excitedly. For those who were watching TV or online, how did you first hear about it and how was it done? Like, Brian Williams gets on with actually breaking news to make the announcement. I wish I could have seen it as it happened. I bet they have clips online. I’ll try to find some. It’s like watching your favorite team win the World Series or Super Bowl.
Great speech, she looked resplendent and confident.
It was like every city in America won the Superbowl at the same time.
Heck with the election. The Biggest news is that TPM has a headline article about a person whose name doesn’t rhyme with “dump”.
I was impressed and encouraged by Kamala’s speech.
She was my first choice during the primaries but I’m afraid she couldn’t have won the presidency. I so look forward to her being the tie breaker in the Senate over and over again when both Ossoff and Warnock are elected by the people of Georgia. McConnell will have a stroke when his obstructionist bullshit is denied over and over again.
I am so god damn proud to be an American right now, after the last four years of hell.
Now the real “MAGA” begins.
Has everyone seen Van Jones’ reaction:
She hit all the right notes in her speech. Women are the centre piece of the democratic coalition - and women of colour are it’s heart and soul. It was fitting and proper that she should get to emphasize this and thank them.
She also cemented the notion that we are family in the Democratic Party and that it’s a healthy, growing family.
It was some of the most powerful and compelling commentary I’ve ever witnessed. I shed a tear or two myself watching it. The authenticity of his remarks were so plain for everyone to see.
It is a compelling moment for sure. But until we neuter Mitch McConnell it is going to be an uphill battle.
Get used to it.
Folks, Georgia needs our help. Our Senate depends on it. Get involved with possible donate when needed. We cannot let our light go out in Georgia. Georgia, here we come.
I donated last night to Stacy Abrams Fair Fight fund to get Ossoff and Warnock elected to the senate in the special election Jan.
You can too!!
She was also my favourite in the field before Biden joined. Once he joined, I knew he would pull the bulk of AA support and that he would become the candidate. So I’m please he picked her as VP.
This ticket was simply the right ticket for the right time. The turnout is astronomical and, after the blue wave of 2018, I am growing somewhat confident that Democrats are beginning to take all elections more seriously after complacency gave us four years of Trump.
Strangely, I’m beginning to think that the Trump interlude may have been beneficial to the future of the Democratic Party and an anvil to the future hopes of the Republican Party.
