We are living through a momentous period as Vice President Kamala Harris clinches the Democratic nomination for president. This achievement is not just a personal victory for Harris; it's a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the American dream. As the first black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent to lead a major party ticket, Harris is poised to make history. Yet, the journey ahead is fraught with challenges and decisions that will shape the course of her campaign and potentially the future of the nation.
and thenCornell West, what does he think of Carla Harris but first it's been a whirlwind first week as the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee for vice president carela Harris she hit the campaign Trail in Battleground Wisconsin with a rally in Milwaukee drawing a bigger crowd than Biden has managed all year. We have doors to knock on, we have phone calls to make, we have voters to register, and we have an election to win and Harris secured the prize public endorsement of Barack and Michelle Obama. I am proud of you, this is going to be historic, we call to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office. With just about a week until a party deadline for the ticket to be finalized, the search is on for a running mate for carela Harris. Vice President Harris has winnowed the list to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, North Carolina governor Roy Cooper, and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona as the top contenders but then Roy Cooper took himself out of consideration reportedly leaving the shortest of short lists Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro the vice president has a deeply personal decision to make as to who she wants to run with, who she wants to govern with, and Astronaut turned Arizona Senator Mark Kelly this is not about me but I've always you always when I've had the chance to serve I think that's very important to do for now the Democratic wave of enthusiasm is showing no signs of breaking and the Harris for president campaign has seen money and volunteers pouring in $200 million in a week, more than Biden made in the first quarter of the year, two-thirds of that money coming from first-time donors as well, and haris is trying now to go Trump into a series of debates after he canceled the one agreed to with Biden in September. Here's what Harris had to say at a rally in Atlanta Georgia earlier today. I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because as the saying goes, if you've got something to say, say to my face. Camea Harris maintains she's the underdog but says that she also has momentum and there is evidence to back that claim up, new polls show vice president Harris tightening the race with former president Trump, two weeks ago Trump was leading Biden by six points in national polls from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN, this week he leads Harris by one in the times, two in the journal, and three points in the CNN poll and in the three Rust Belt swing states some polls are now showing a statistical dead heat. Look at this, Wisconsin is the one that had the biggest separation between the two of them, Fox News polling this week and it's just plus one Trump, well within the margin of error, Michigan a tie, Pennsylvania of course a key state that is tied right now, and if Harris wins all three of those plus the single electoral vote from Nebraska's second congressional district, that's the election. But Harris also seems a little bit more competitive than Biden while certainly in the Sun Belt from the south through to the West, so there could be another potential path for her, maybe quite possibly, although she's still not nudging in front yet, isn't she, even though she's having a honeymoon quite not there. TR would be sweating though because the race is changing, not only did Harris raise all that money you referred to before but there's also been 170,000 volunteers signing up in one week and while all this drama's been going on people haven't even noticed that the economy grew with a surprisingly strong annualized rate of 2.8% in the last quarter while prices actually fell slightly in the past month, deflation not inflation, and America also set an all-time record for factory investment as a percentage of GDP, more than twice as much manufacturing investment than there was under Trump, so things are looking up. Meanwhile, former president Trump has been trying out new lines of attack against his new rival, like this at a rally in North Carolina, if Camala Harris gets in she would be the most radical far-left extremist ever to occupy the White House times 10, there's never been a lunatic like this in the White House and we've had some bad ones, yes indeed we have, and suddenly in Trump's telling Joe Biden wasn't so bad after all, so now they bring in this one who's worse than him, she's worse than him because he a fake liberal, you know he wasn't that liberal, he was fake, she's a real liberal, she really is a real liberal, she's much worse than him. It does not take long to re-evaluate Biden does it, in particular, the area they're attacking Harrison is her handling of immigration when she was supposedly the bordar since being appointed by bordar by President Joe Biden Camala Harris has undoubtedly been a complete failure in her job and has destroyed our country by releasing a record-setting levels of criminals, rapists, and terrorists into our
