USA 2024, Biden withdraws and supports Kamala Harris
“I am honored.” With these words Kamala Harris he said yes to the investiture of Joe BidenThe commander in chief announced his withdrawal from the race for the White House and supported his number two for the nomination, paving the way for her to possibility of becoming the first female and black presidentafter hitting this glass ceiling as vice president. “I will earn the nomination and beat Trump“, Harris assures in a post in which she attaches the link for donations, already officially starting her presidential race. With the endorsement of Bill e Hillary Clintonand dozens of current and former delegates to the Democratic convention.
Democrats’ Donations Surge: They Reached $46.7 Million in Just a Few Hours
“These are not normal times and this will not be a normal election. But this is our America. And I need you in this fight,” Harris said in one of her first messages of fundraising. And the response is immediate, with a Democrats raise $46.7 million in donations in just a few hours. In the event of mini primaries, as hoped for in recent days by the former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and now from Barack Obama, some governors could enter the field, names who could also possibly act as Harris’ deputies: Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania), J.B. Pritzker (Illinois), Tony Evers (Wisconsin) e Andy Beshear (Kentucky)More unlikely are California Governor Gawin Newsom (considered too liberal and from a state that is already solidly Democratic) and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, apparently because she doesn’t want to blow her chances of running in 2028. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg cannot be ruled out either.
Here’s who Kamala Harris is
Born in 1964 in Oakland, California, Kamala Harris she did not shine as vice, probably disappointing those who expected much more from her. A graduate of the prestigious Howard University, she had been hailed perhaps a little too simplistically as ‘the female Obama’ for her oratory skills and ability to captivate the crowds, at least until recently. Before winning a seat in the Senate in 2016, she was the attorney general of San Francisco, then of California. Barack Obama he defined it awkwardly “the most beautiful prosecutor in the country“, and then apologized. However, she still has a long-standing friendship and mutual respect with the former president. In fact, the Obama administration considered her as a possible Supreme Court judge. As a senator, Harris immediately declared war on Donald Trump and imposed herself on the national stage with her questioning of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which went viral and gave her credibility in the eyes of a Democratic public looking for new faces for the party. Hence the decision to try to run for the White House: an attempt that was unsuccessful, even though she had established herself as one of Biden’s fiercest rivals during the primaries. The bitter confrontation between the two during one of the debates has remained in the annals, during which Harris reproached her future boss for having been pleased with the collaboration with two segregationist senators in the 1970s.
Not happy, Kamala She continued by saying that she knew a young black girl who was fortunately able to go to a better school thanks to the school bus service established for minorities living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods, a service that – she recalled – Senator Biden had opposed: “That little girl was me.” Despite the clash, she was then chosen as number two in the dem ticket. She has never stepped out of Biden’s shadow and has never broken through the screen, but she is gaining ground and image on some issues, such as the key one of abortion. And at 59 years old and with her determination behind a dazzling smile, she could work as an antithesis to Trump, making him appear old and angry.

The bitter confrontation between the two during one of the debates has remained in the annals, during which Harris reproached her future boss for having been pleased with the collaboration with two segregationist senators in the ’70s. A collector of Converse sneakers, Harris usually wakes up at 6 in the morning and works out for half an hour. Between his favorite books there are ‘Native Son’ by Richard Wright and ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ by CS Lewis. Her motto is a warning her mother gave her when she was a girl: ‘You may be first, but make sure you’re not last.’ Since then, Harris has broken many taboos, paving the way and becoming a role model for many women. Now she has the chance of a lifetime.
Trump: “Biden will be remembered as the worst president in the history of our country”
Joe Biden will be remembered “as the worst president in the history of our country” and his vice president Kamala Harris “will be even easier to beat”. A few minutes after announcing the withdrawal of his rival in the race for the White House, Donald Trump entrusts his first reaction to a phone call to CNN, the American TV station most hostile to him. Then he also makes the point on his social Truth, claiming that everyone knew from the beginning of the unsuitability of the Dem leader to lead the country: “Dishonest Joe Biden was not fit to run for president, and he is certainly not fit to serve – and he never was! He only rose to the position of president thanks to lies, fake news and without leaving his basement. Everyone around him, including his doctor and the media, knew he was not fit to be president, and he was not”. An accusation against the entourage, the press and the personal doctor of the commander in chief. Then an attack on one of his battle horses, the invasion of migrants at the border with Mexico: “And now, look what he has done to our country, with millions of people crossing our border, totally uncontrolled, many from prisons, mental institutions and a record number of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will very quickly repair the damage he has done. Let’s make America great again”.
The tycoon also took advantage of the opportunity to increase fundraising among his fans, with an email from his campaign asking “millions of pro-Trump patriots to contribute” with donations to his race. “Today we make history,” the message reads. The incumbent president “left the race in complete disgrace. The Washington establishment, America-hating media, and corrupt deep state have done everything they can to protect Biden, but your support has simply knocked him out of the race! Now full speed ahead!”
Trump was ahead in the polls, but now he has to review his strategy
Trump was ahead of Biden not only in the pollsincluding swing states (7% in Michigan where he held his last rally), but also in campaign funds, having raised $431.2 million between April and June, $98.9 million more than pro-Biden groups, which stood at $332.4 million. But now he has to review its strategyno longer having to face the opponent she considered weaker but most likely Kamala Harris. It is true that the vice president has never left Biden’s shadow and has never broken through on screen, but recently she has recovered ground and image on some issues, such as the key one of abortion. And with her 59 years and her firmness behind a dazzling smile – even if sometimes excessive – she could make The Donald appear old and angry.
Another key factor will be who he chooses as his number two, to pit against 39-year-old Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.: it seems like an obvious choice, a “young” white man from a decisive Midwest state, like the governors of Pennsylvania John Shapiro (51), Illinois JB Pritzker (59), and Kentucky Andy Beshear (46). Trump will try to ride the accusation of a ‘coup’ in the Democratic Party, with voters robbed of their vote in the primaries. And the idea that Biden should also resign as president, as insisted by the speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Vance himself. But in the meantime he already has the dossiers ready for the political assassination of Kamala or her alternatives.
“L‘Ukraine is grateful to President Biden for his unwavering support for Ukraine’s struggle for freedom, which, together with strong bipartisan support in the US, has been and continues to be crucial. Many strong decisions have been made in recent years and they will be remembered as courageous steps taken by President Biden in response to difficult times. And we respect his tough but strong decision today. We will always be grateful for his leadership. He supported our country in the most dramatic moment in history, he helped us prevent Putin from occupying our country”. This is what the Ukrainian president said Zelensky your X.
