Kamala Harris will mop the floor with Trump in a debate. It will be interesting.

🤣🤣🤣
You wish.

Strange comment. Why shouldn’t she? A very well educated lady with a greater understanding of American laws than Trump seems to have.

A woman, mixed race, and her husband is Jewish. Could be interesting times indeed.

Informative podcast arrived today from the This is Politics team with Scaramucci and Kay from the US Trip. They think Obama would prefer an open contest because if KH is chosen (and they think she would) it would give her run more legitimacy. Well worth a listen.

Yes, an excellent The Rest is Politics podcast (also on YouTube). I learnt a lot about the process for the Democratic Party and the possible candidates. Very measured and informative from people who actually know what they are talking about.

According to Lionel Shriver who writes for the Spectator, Kamala Harris hasn't even visited Europe.. I fear she will be hopelessly out of her depth and not be able to cope with an election campaign.. I hope the Dems have other candidates.

I know absolutely nothing about her except that she’s black or maybe mixed race and a woman.

She has certainly visited Germany in 2022 to meet with NATO leaders from European countries. Also that year she visited Poland and Romania.
In 2021 she went to France and met with Macron. All this is well documented in News reports.

Kamala Harris has been representing President Biden at the Munich Security Conference for the last three years.

Lionel Shriver needs to buy an atlas.

Another recommendation to watch the TRIP video podcast.

Yes you are correct J52.. I wonder if the article I read today in Unherd is deliberate misdirection.. the beginning of a campaign against her..

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”.

That I suspect is because Obama would prefer not to see a coronation, but I have no doubt that if/when Harris is chosen, Obama will support her. Pelosi, will do the same

Yes WW, from the politics podcasts I’ve listened to this morning (TRIP, The News Agents etc) that appears to be the thinking.

Obama (it is believed) thinks Harris would present as a more ‘valid’ candidate if she enters the race having won a Democrat party vote, rather than a straight coronation.

Of course, he’ll support her either way. Let’s face it - anyone is going to better than Trump!

Lauren59,

I think so too ..

I am sure she will appeal to lots of women, ethnics and the gay population which is very very large in California and New York City.

Afterall, he is a criminal, a liar on top of being a total racist and lunatic ..

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.

Rednecks and hillbillies from 2 centuries ago ..

You clearly have not seen her debate .
Have a look at her resume !
Prosecutor vs Felon !

17 countries as VP and more as Senator

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

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

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.”

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.”

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.

Hit, not bit

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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. 😁
