The Kamala Harris Juggernaut

July 22, 2024 · 8:10 am ET · Leave a Comment

Playbook: “In a matter of hours yesterday, Kamala Harris garnered endorsements of a majority of House Democrats (153 as of this morning), most Senate Democrats (32), and twelve of the nation’s 23 Democratic governors. Two key unions — SEIU and AFT — are on board, and four state delegations to the Chicago convention (New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee) have voted to back her.”

“The widespread and immediate outpouring of support, which will continue to trickle in today, is a testament to the Democratic Party’s eagerness to move on from the last 25 days of infighting, as well as Harris’s own underrated skills as a backroom coalition builder.”

“Meanwhile, what is now the Harris for President campaign took in $49.6 million in grassroots donations since yesterday’s announcement.”
