Data obtained by 8News shows that voter registration in Virginia is on the rise after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race for President and Vice President Kamala Harris announced her plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president.
“Particularly Democrats are excited that there is a new face to the party, a new candidate that doesn’t have the age baggage that Joe Biden had,” 8News Political Analyst, Rich Meagher explained.
Data from the Virginia Department of Elections shows that on Monday and Tuesday (7/22 and 7/23), the first two full days of Harris’s campaign, 4,899 Virginians registered to vote, a 38.5% increase over the same time the week before.
I think it’s important to point out that Harris isn’t the typical ticket:
Here’s the thing though:
The Left no longer gives a flying fuck about gender. Who can do the job? Her? Let’s fucking go!
Her team is playing this correctly. I said when Harris was first brought forward that she needs to focus in her strengths as an ex-prosecutor and use words to turn around every significant past and present statement made by Trump and his cronies. Verbally drag them down using their own skeletons.
Far as I’m aware her Mom/Dad/Grandparents/Great Uncle Thrice Removed, and the family dog, weren’t politicians. I might be mistaken, though we’ve seen some of the best Presidents and leaders come out from places that weren’t establishment political families.
AND coherent. Biden was okay, though I think many of us have forgotten what it’s like to listen to someone that can string words together without stumbling over every fourth syllable.
The true key is whether she can hold this image. Excitement now means little. Apathy and fear can still set it.
I have no concerns about any of the things you listed - mine is more about her time as a prosecutor. But again, I’m happy to just support everyone else’s excitement at this point, I’m not even going to link the summary article I normally do about those concerns.
I think if Biden could get past his crime/drug bills of the '90s and mend relations with the African-American community, I don’t think her prosecutor days are all that much to worry about. Especially since this is a matter now of facing a dichtomous choice where we can have our pick of worse scandals under Don the Con.
