There has never been a male spouse of a US PRESIDENT and if Kamala is nominated as candidate and elected , her husband would be known as FIRST GENTLEMAN … I wish her every success in the election as she will have to face off with bully boy Trump

Kamala Harris is trying to help those with first time convictions for drug offences by getting them back into education. She also works on rights for women.
Trump doesn't want women to have rights. He believes that white males should reign supreme.

But - calling him ‘a felon’. Must have missed something there as Trump has not been convicted of anything.

Found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, which are felony charges in New York.

Honestly you do need to show your resources when you post this sort of thing.

Some background. And there WILL be more …

Kamala Harris:
Slept with her former boss while he was married and then took the role after him.
Deliberately kept evidence that would have exonerated a prisoner out of court
locked up 1,000 of people for cannabis use, while laughing and admitting to using it herself.
She called Joe Biden a racist and then agreed to be his VP.

Urmstongran, is this some kind of diss the politician competition that only you know the rules of so far?
Seriously, why are you doing this, do you want somebody to leap in and post a bad thing Trump has done for every one Harris has done, like some weird game of Top Trumps? (Freudian slip there grin)

Trump wants to take the USA back to segregation and no rights for women. He believes in white supremacy.
I have to hope that women will not vote for him. So many years of women fighting for their rights could be obliterated by Trump as Potus.

You would hope that when women go to vote, they will remember that Trump appointed three of the judges who voted to row back Rowe v Wade and thereby released the shit show that is now abortion law in many of the states, with the full repercussions still to come.

The 78-year-old is the first former president in US history to be criminally convicted, having been found guilty of falsifying business records.

Harris popularity polling is exactly level with Trump and that is before she has entered the arena as a presidential candidate.

She will have a lot to say about women’s rights etc, and that will attract a huge amount of support.

Trumps VP announced that in a violent marriage the woman should remain in the marriage😲

great advise!!! .. I really pity his poor wife..

Thank you Oreo.
Last time I looked, my neck wasn’t red. 😁

And Convicted felon? - yes but in a rigged trial that was brought on by the woke Democrats (at whose cost?). Trump's crimes are trivial compared to the arrogant abuse of American democracy committed by the Bidens and their corrupt cronies. This is the real con job if you care to look deeper.

If you believe Harris is polling level with Trump … I have a bridge to sell. 😁

Biden is not a prince, we don’t have coronations’
Political strategist Steve Schmidt has called it a “mistake” for President Biden to attempt to anoint his successor as if he were part of a royal family.

Speaking to Puck, he said: “It’s a mistake for him [Biden] to try to anoint the vice president, because in America we don’t have coronations. This is not the Prince of Wilmington who abdicates to the Duchess of San Francisco.”

I think that is right, but if another candidate fails to come forward what is to be done except endorse Harris?

We saw it the U.K. over the past 5 years and look what a mess we ended up with.

Still they have about a month to decide I guess.

Wishing her and the Democrats all the luck in the world, be a complete disaster if Trump wriggles through as President again! Sorry, but to me, most of his supporters are knuckle dragging red necks

Agree 100% with you.

Tbh you can’t say that as DT has millions and millions of supporters in many States.It’s curious what they see in him it’s true but he had lots of intelligent Rebublican voters behind him last time around.

You don’t get it do you? Having been saved from death is a winning formula!

I think quite a few on here don’t get it, and far from being ‘old news’ it’s still being actively talked about and will be for a while.
It’s given Trump a def advantage.

Well she's certainly a bit with the tiktok generation. They're all loving her.

I've seen clips of her dancing, rather well I might add, laughing her head off and swearing like a trooper. Her comment about kids falling from coconut trees is going down a storm.

She seems great fun.

Hillary Clinton launches fundraiser for Harris
Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state, launched a fundraising appeal for Kamala Harris on Monday as she urged voters to become part of “this historic campaign”.

“I’ve known Kamala Harris a long time,” Ms Clinton wrote on X, alongside an old photo of them together.

“This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda to take away our freedoms.”

She added: “But she can’t do it alone.”

Manchin: Harris is ‘too far left’
When asked if Kamala Harris is “too far left” on CBS Mornings, Joe Manchin, an influential independent senator, responded: “Absolutely. I’ve said that. And she knows that. I mean, they’ve gone to the left. But let’s see if she comes back.

“You know a person can be in one position and make a change or direction change. And I would like to see that direction change.”

Kamala’s mother is of Tamil Indian heritage, her father of Afro-Jamaican heritage. Kamala Harris was bused to school during attempts to integrate the school population.
From what little I know, she grew up in a stable family, with parents working in the professions.
She had a successful career as a lawyer before entering politics.
I wish her well and hope if she is endorsed as the Democratic candidate she beats Trump. He’s a disaster area for the USA and the world.
The Biden-Harris presidency has been good for America

It wasn’t a criticism from me Syracuse. I was just giving some context.

Old news.
When KH was made VP she was barracked at a press conference for not spending time down on the Mexican border, assessing the migrant crisis. She snapped back “I haven’t been to Europe yet either”.
