She worked the phones. Her team worked the delegates. When it was over, she had quickly locked down the nomination in a “well-orchestrated cascade,” as one party leader put it.
Late on Sunday morning, Vice President Kamala Harris summoned a small clutch of her closest advisers and allies to the Naval Observatory, where she lives and works, with little notice and even less information.
President Biden had informed Ms. Harris earlier that morning that he was withdrawing from the race. The vice president had assembled her team so that the exact moment Mr. Biden formally quit, at 1:46 p.m. — one minute after the president had informed his own senior staff — they were ready to go.
Time was of the essence. A sprawling call list of the most important Democrats to reach had been prepared in advance, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The vice president, in sneakers and a sweatshirt, began methodically dialing Democratic power brokers.
…
The blitz demonstrated exactly the kind of vigor and energy that Mr. Biden had lacked in recent weeks. Mr. Biden had reportedly made 20 calls to congressional Democrats in the first 10 or so days after the debate, while his candidacy hung in the balance. Ms. Harris made 100 calls in 10 hours.
At the same time that Ms. Harris was dialing, a new whip operation was set up to wrangle delegates who will ultimately select the nominee, integrating her team and the pre-existing Biden-Harris campaign’s delegate operation.
No she didn’t! My boss swears she dropped out already! Cause “umm ackshually its illegal”. Thats how scared they are of her, they can’t look at reality right now.
It would be cooler if your boss could notice illegal things when they are insurrections, stealing boxes of classified documents, extorting foreign countries, oh, and raping women.
anything done by the high priest of a cult is morally correct, this is why they don’t care when he rapes or brags about it
They literally made “when the president does it, it’s not illegal” the law of the land.
Whatever rapes he does are also “hurting the right people.” They want him to hurt their political enemies.
As illegal as someone with 34 felonies?
Conservatives just consider that as political prosecution. That fact is ignored harder than climate change
I’m curious what they thought it was illegal about it?
He insisted her having access to the Biden-Harris campaign funds was illegal so they shut down the campaign. Not even joking. I even searched it in front of him, nothing came up but her 2020 stuff, and he still insisted.
You could explain it like running mates are a married couple. If one of them dies (drops out), the other one legally has access. Everything goes to them.
Your boss would be correct if a completely different person tried to inherit those campaign funds.
They probably get their news from the typical right wing, Fox style, outlets. They say “is this legal?” And then everybody starts to think questions are reality. I feel bad for your boss. Being that brainwashed.
I dont. Dude is rich as fuck. If he wants to be an idiot, too, at least he’s proving its through sheer luck and happenstance instead of any merit.
