#Harris is a cop that the #DemocraticParty nominated without the input of all of us in an era that is marked by the public being skeptical of cops.

Why is it a surprise that she's struggling? The people in power screwed up here, and they need to be held accountable for their screw up.

We need to be very clear about that even if you want to vote for her for some reason, the party elites have disrespected us.

Hopefully things will be better in 4 years, but for now we're just screwed.

Kamala #Harris for president https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/editorials/a/endorsement-president-kamala-harris-democracy-20241025.html

"Voters face an easy but tectonic choice in the race for the White House.

Will they choose the prosecutor or the convict?

Will they choose the candidate who supports restoring Roe v. Wade or the man who bragged about overturning it?

Will they choose the candidate who upholds the peaceful transfer of power or the one who summoned a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol?"

Kamala Harris for president | Endorsement

There has never been a more important presidential election in our lifetime. The road to the White House may well run through Pennsylvania and every vote matters.

Interesting nuggets in NYT/Siena:

#Harris cut #Trump’s lead on the economy **in half** since last month

Among the 15% of voters still not fully decided, Harris is up by 10. Two weeks ago, Trump led them by 1.

Late breakers are swinging her way - same we saw in Emerson last week

Via Dan Pfeiffer:

This is a smart way to draw attention to what access to abortion could look like across America if #Trump wins.

It is not a play to win #Texas. And the fact that people are reacting this way shows that its a great way to get attention -- the most valuable resource at this stage

Sam Stein:

#Harris will head to TEXAS on Friday. Will campaign with Allred. Will focus on #abortion policy

What the Justice Department could look like under #Harris presidency

“4 sources familiar w Harris campaign’s discussions told NBC News that there are three main names under consideration: North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who was on Harris' vice presidential short list; former Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, who served as the No. 3 official at the Justice Department until earlier this year; and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/justice-department-attorney-general-nominee-kamala-harris-president-rcna176171

Kaitlan COLLINS: What do you think Kamala #Harris has to do to avoid a repeat of 2016?

Breaking on MSNBC:

#Beyonce will appear with Vice President #Harris in Houston Friday night. She is expected to perform.

That's both Beyonce hometown and where Harris is expected to highlight Texas #abortion restrictions.

Earlier this year we decided that, although we're across the pond, we wanted to help Kamala Harris' campaign for the US presidency.

The community we have built here is full of diversity and those people could be in danger if the Republican nomination gets into the US office.

We're so proud that the @KamalaHarrisWin Group set up on Newsmast and we really appreciate the work the team behind the account are doing to campaign in this very crucial period.

📌 Via Kyle Griffin:

Save the date: On Oct. 29, one week before Election Day, Vice President #Harris will deliver a "closing argument" speech in D.C. at the Ellipse — the site where Trump spoke just before the #Jan6 riot.

Rupar will have the vid, but meantime: 1/...

#Harris: He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders, even when he tells them to break the law..

Donald #Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions.

2/ #Harris: It is deeply troubling & incredibly dangerous that Trump would invoke Hitler- the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6m Jews and 100s of thousands of Americans. All of this is further evidence for the people of who Trump really is from the people who know him best

The bottom line is this. We know what Donald Trump wants -- he wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be what do the American people want.

Via Phil Mattingly:

More than half of the living US recipients of the Nobel prize for economics signed onto a letter that calling #Harris’ economic agenda “vastly superior” to #Trump’s.

23 Laureates, including two of the three most recent recipients.

#Trump’s coded language tries to undermine #Harris’s qualifications based on her #race & #gender, said Rachel Noerdlinger, a Democratic comms strategist & snr adviser to Win With #Black #Women.

“Trump is reviving the old trope that Black women are unqualified for jobs historically held by White men. Not having a campaign event while you’re in the middle of also governing isn’t ‘lazy’—making almost 300 trips to the golf course as president is.”

The R Party has nominated a womanizing narcissist & aspiring dictator. He & his supporters believe in trampling on the rights of women, providing greater protections to guns than schoolchildren, silencing: history & existence of POC/LGBTQ+ ppl, forcing working class families & seniors to choose b/w food & medicine & -attacking the IMGs who dream of a better life.

Because the election in the United States 🇺🇸 will have an effect all countries I think it's important that everyone help in their fight for democracy.

Via Kyle Griffin:

NEW: On Oct. 21, Vice President #Harris will join Liz #Cheney for a series of moderated conversations in suburban communities across #Pennsylvania, #Wisconsin, and #Michigan, "as part of her ongoing efforts to earn the support of swing voters."

BBC reports that in response to calls to lock #Trump up, #Harris said the courts would take care of that, not only toeing the line to prejudice, but more strikingly... it's as if this is yet another case where she doesn't know what the different branches of government actually do, she doesn't know locking people up is an executive branch function?

As she's applying to be the head of the executive branch?

But no, that level of ignorance does seem to be pretty consistent with what she has shown for years now.

The Democratic Party did not have to such an incompetent candidate. And I'm going to say it over and over because it's so depressing, the party really let us down.

Nothing will change if we don't hold the party accountable.

No stamina.

#Harris: He is ducking debates and canceling interviews. His own campaign team recently said it's because of exhaustion. If you're exhausted on the campaign trail, it raises real questions about whether you are fit for the toughest job in the world.
