Y'know ... just like Obama.

Literally my favorite moment of the Obama presidency.

Although the race is still a toss-up, Harris leads Trump by 1.4 points in our national polling average, and has a 51 percent chance of winning the electoral college
Love this scene from 9 to 5. I can picture Kamala as Snow White with tfg in the chair.
Representative Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican and close ally of Donald Trump's, sparred with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning about the former president's recent remarks questioning Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity, which Stephanopoulos referred to as a "slur."
The interview on ABC News' This Week comes days after Trump said at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago about Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, "She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was Black until a couple of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black."
Harris, the daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother, identifies as biracial. She is a graduate of Howard University, one of the largest historically Black colleges in the country.
His remarks have been condemned by many, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who during a briefing with reporters said the former president's questioning of Harris' racial identity was "repulsive" and "insulting."
In reference to Trump's comments, Harris wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Let me just say: The American people deserve better than Donald Trump's divisiveness and disrespect."
On Saturday, Trump again questioned her racial identity when speaking at a campaign rally in Atlanta.
Throughout the Sunday interview, Stephanopoulos and the Florida congressman repeatedly interrupted each other, at times becoming heated.
When Stephanopoulos first asked why the former president and Donalds keep questioning Harris' racial identity, Donalds said, "The [Harris] campaign has shifted. They're talking much more about her father's heritage and her Black identity. It doesn't really matter. The [former] president mentioned it."
Edit, looks like I can watch via Comcast right now, so I'll be back if I have some thing to say.
Multiple times during the interview Stephanopoulos called out Donalds, saying, "And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't matter, why do you all keep questioning her identity? She has always identified as a Black woman. She is biracial. She has a Jamaican father, an Indian mother, she's always identified as both. Why are you questioning that?"
Donalds responded: "This is something that's actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people trying to figure this out. But again, that's a side issue, not the main issue."
Stephanopoulos then interjected, "Sir, one second, see you just did it again—Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity?" speaking over Donalds.
Kamala’s Wins

BREAKING: Beyoncé has just announced she has donated $4 million to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. This is huge.
My favorite joke part of his Presidency was his Anger Translator...
The fascinating thing about that is just trying to imagine Donold Trump daring of attempting anything similar. That humorless, graceless sack of shit can only spout illiterate idiocies.
Of course Republicans are declaring that Harris requires popular singers to perform in order to fill seats. Personally, I think it's a great idea in order to get younger people to the rally. It's certainly something Trump couldn't do, and it shows that Harris is attuned to a younger set of voters.Ben Wikler

So Nate Silver sees Donald Trump’s chance of victory having dropped from 65.7% to 61.3%. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has crept up from the mid-30s to 38.1%. That’s still a fairly healthy margin. It’s not that it’s impossible for this analysis to be wrong, but you have to dig quite a way back into history to find an example of Nate missing a call by anywhere near that much.
I see him being cited on CNN nearly as much as he is on Fox News. In that sense, Silver has become the gold standard of election analysis, if you’ll pardon the precious metals pun. He doesn’t base his forecasts on his own political preferences (whatever those may be), but on the hit-and-miss rates of the other pollsters that he tracks.
Because Hulk Hogan and Amber Rose were at the RNC to promote substantive policy positions?MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2024 2:31 pmOf course Republicans are declaring that Harris requires popular* singers to perform in order to fill seats.
