Report: Kamala Harris Will Campaign in Urban Centers, Target Black Voters for Biden’s 2024 Campaign

Report: Kamala Harris Will Campaign in Urban Centers, Target Black Voters for Biden’s 2024 Campaign

“But I don’t know that the people who have to make that happen feel that way right now. I don’t know that she has what it takes to get over the hump in our present environment.”

The Wall Street Journal learned that Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign hard for President Joe Biden despite fellow Democrats not giving her full approval.

Harris wants to target urban centers, black people, liberals, and young people in swing states.

The sources close to Harris told WSJ she would stress the administration’s devotion to baby murder abortion and green energy agenda. Medicare and Social Security popped up, so I imagine she’ll go on about how the right wants to do away with it.

Mother Angelica said something brilliant (when didn’t she!?) before the 2000 election. She said no politician would ever get rid of Social Security or pensions. No check, no vote!

Anyway!

Democrats do not want to rely on Harris:

Some top Democratic lawmakers and donors have been questioning Ms. Harris’s future behind closed doors for months, saying they don’t think the vice president has used her platform effectively, according to attendees at these events.

At one recent Zoom event organized by a former speechwriter for Mr. Biden, one of the Democrats aired frustrations with Ms. Harris, questioning whether she would be a liability to the 2024 ticket, according to people familiar with the call. Former California Sen. Barbara Boxer responded saying they could share concerns with Mr. Biden if they wanted. CNN earlier reported the event. The exchange during the call spurred further private discussion on the topic among some who had attended, those people said.

Missteps in high-profile interviews have also raised concerns that she doesn’t perform consistently when speaking in public. Her backers said Ms. Harris, the first woman to hold her position and the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, is being held to a different standard from past vice presidents, including Mr. Biden.

Harris is reportedly snubbing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after she raised doubts about Harris being Biden’s vice president:

“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” she responded. “I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”…

Warren spoke to Harris’ chief of staff, Lorraine Voles, according to CNN, who returned the phone call.

“But the Warren moment is infuriating many in Harris’ circle: To them, it’s the latest in a long string of snubs to a vice president whom they say has never gotten the respect or support she deserves. Warren’s words sting even more, they say, because they came from a former rival who in 2020 hoped to be picked as Biden’s running mate instead,” CNN’s Jasmine Wright and Edward-Isaac Dovere reported.

Shruthi Mohana Sundaram, president of College Democrats at Georgia Institute of Technology, attended a climate event hosted by Harris. What does Sundaram think?

“Her position is historic, but I don’t think I can definitively say that in the past two years now that she’s been vice president that like, people are still excited about the fact that she holds this historic position.”

Yikes.

The Washington Post found numerous Democratic leaders in key states who feel the same way:

“Every fiber in my body wants her to be president; everything I’ve ever fought for is for someone like her to be president,” said one South Carolina Democratic strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of damaging professional relationships. “I think she’s a good person with a good heart who can lead the country. But I don’t know that the people who have to make that happen feel that way right now. I don’t know that she has what it takes to get over the hump in our present environment.”

Many of the activists reached by The Washington Post said they like Harris personally and would support her if she became the nominee, but they are not convinced she has separated herself sufficiently from other potential White House aspirants. Several Democratic governors in particular have emerged in recent months, from Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer and California’s Gavin Newsom to, more recently, Maryland’s Wes Moore and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro.

Four Democrats or Independent senators wouldn’t tell The Daily Caller if they endorse Harris as vice president. Four “deferred” to Biden. Nine endorsed Harris.

Of course, Harris’s defenders scream racism. They think a woman of mixed race is “held to a different standard.”

Okay, bro.

Harris’s former communications director Jamal Simmons claimed the criticisms are “to diminish her standing should she run for president years from now.”

Crying. That’s funny.

Harris’s office offered a vanilla statement: She “remains laser focused on delivering for the American people and ensuring they see the impacts of the Biden-Harris administration’s work to lower costs, defend access to lifesaving care from extremists, and restore our reputation on the international stage.”

Comments

If I was black, I’d be so insulted by these parasites.

    If I was black, I’d worry about being “targeted” by the VP.

    You know, there are a whole lot of reasons to disagree with Harris on her policy decisions, a whole lot of them, and rightfully so. But you can do it without using her race, or insinuating time and again here on LI that the only reason she is VP is because she got down on her knees to give oral sex to you know who. Please grow up. It is pro-Trump supporters like you who allow independents and fence sitters to think that all Republicans are racists. Please grow up.

      Let me make it as clear as possible: the ONLY reason Kamala Harris is VP is because she got down on her knees to give oral sex to Willie Brown MANY, MANY, MANY times.

      As Judge Joe Brown says: “Kamala Harris is a corrupt witch who f**ked her way to the top. And she ain’t black!”

      Let me be perfectly clear, she gets the exact amount of respect she deserves. Absolutely none.

      Olinser in reply to JR. | March 21, 2023 at 2:17 am

      We will stop ‘using her race’ when she stops bringing it up at literally every opportunity.

      And no, she’s not VP because she got down on her knees.

      She became SENATOR because she got down on her knees for Willie.

      She became VP because of the color of her skin. Nothing more, nothing less. Change the color or her skin and she’s just another also-ran that had pathetic support at every stage of her campaign.

      Cognitive dissonance much? So enlighten me what the reasons for her having any kind of political career are if not oral skills and race.

      Stuytown in reply to JR. | March 21, 2023 at 5:41 am

      To paraphrase Joe Biden, “If you don’t vote for Kamala Harris, you ain’t black.” Sense any racism there?

      alaskabob in reply to JR. | March 21, 2023 at 11:29 am

      OK…what IS her “race”. Her heritage is Indo-European. There is a classic book called :”Black Like Me” in which a white author darkened his skin to fit in and write about blacks in America and their problems. Harris is using “Black Like Me” when she isn’t also. Skin color was a boost to her career …not something earned. She did earn her rise in politics the old fashioned way. By the way… it is one thing to use sex in a private company… another the use it to leverage against the public.

      “You know, there are a whole lot of reasons to disagree with Harris on her policy decisions”
      Policy decisions? What policy decisions? Last time she made a policy decision, she was in California, where I don’t care.

    If I was black I’d commit suicide in shame.

Yeah, that will work

To quote the Vice-President:

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

To quote the Vice-President:

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

No tough questions, no questions at all, maybe they can just have some Black comedians and rappers like Nick Cannon do a show while she stands there laughing.

She’s Jamaican/Indian and raised in Canada.

So, obviously, totally in touch with the African-American experience.

Maybe she can discuss the hundreds of young black men she put in prison in CA for simple possession of marijuana.

    “Harris wants to target urban centers, black people, liberals, and young people in swing states.”

    Well, that’s the perfect task for an incompetent: catch the low-hanging fruit.

    Harris is exactly the person the administration needs to convince people who were always going to vote for Joe Biden to… vote for joe Biden.
    Unless, of course, she fucks it up, does something to piss them off, and actually loses some of them.
    Wouldn’t that be a riot!

    In any event, you won’t see her volunteering to go up on a stage somewhere to debate Jordan Peterson.

Good the wh0re will be shown the exact amount of respect that she deserves, absolutely none.

The Obama playbook. Fake as a $3 bill.

Thought this was a Gutfeld bit. He’s in fine form tonight.

It’s people like her who give stupid, mulatto hoes a bad name.

Kamala was very unpopular in CA, especially among blacks. I’m sure she’ll do a fine job solidifying the already automatic black Dem vote. She’s got the “wow” factor. As in “Wow! Did she really say that?!?”

she’s an incompetent bigot–worthless in every respect–
the “virtue signal” vp

It doesn’t matter what they say now. If Biden is the nominee, I expect him to pull an FDR and throw the VP pick open to the convention.

Sure, but who/what would Kneepads campaign for?

Like second place in a contest. First place is Harris not campaigning for you.

At what point does this tokenism become offensive?

Asking for my friends of various labels.

Democrats really do want to lose in 2024 if they are sending Heels Up Harris into the fray.

Black people have never liked Kumswalla Harris… for many reasons.
