Kamala Harris, who launched her campaign for president, has long been a favorite of Hollywood donors.

Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after President Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.

The vice president has Biden’s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.

“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said in a statement. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Biden’s “extraordinary leadership,” saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.

      You just accused me of not criticizing Trump then when I do I’m both sidesing it.

      Bro this type of moral brow beating is not going to work when it comes to chattel slavery or genocide not matter how furiously you and your Reddit refugee friends masturbate each other about it.

      It didn’t work in 2016 when the issues weren’t nearly as contentious and it won’t work now. If Trump wins it will be libs like you’s fault.

      But go ahead and keep scoring pretend internet points by attacking anyone that criticizing Harris’ obvious shortcomings as Trump shills.

        If Trump wins it will be the fault of fake lefties who spend all their efforts criticising whoever is the democratic nominee and pressing people to not vote instead of criticising the “dictator on day one” who can’t accept he lost, and the Republican party of full hearted support of Israel who send people to literally write “finish them” on Israeli bombs.

          Or, you know, the Dem party could field an actual progressive with real bona fides. Hey how’d we wind up with ancient ass Biden to begin with. Oh yeah that’s right, from libs like you insisting that we HAD to vote for him otherwise Trump would win. Libs never change.
