Two articles back, in “For good or for malevolence,” I wrote: I wished Biden were not running. Two weeks later, Biden stepped down and endorsed Kamala Harris. Is it not amazing how quickly the world can change in a matter of weeks?
Many times, all that is required to bring about great change is a little pivoting. The excitement level for the Democratic ticket has gone up from 1.5 on the Political Richter scale to 9.5. It is of earthquake dimensions. Everywhere Kamala goes these days, crowds of 15,000 to 25,000 are waiting to see her. This is what a good decision looks like. With Tim Walz as running mate, rural America, suburban America and moderate Republicans will start to feel good about the Democratic ticket.
Within three weeks, Kamala has raised over $300 million. Twenty four hours after announcing Tim Walz as running mate, they raised $40m more. Money is pouring in. This is astounding, but even more astounding is the fact that the money is coming in as tiny donations from over 1.5 million new contributors, 60% of whom are women.
Historically demographic experts will tell you this: When women come out to vote, get ready to rock!
How’s Trump reacting to all the good news on the other side? In a recent Press Conference at Maralago, people gathered to hear him speak. I watched it. I am sure that having achieved demi-god status, there’s no one left in the Republican Party who is able to whip him into line. Trump is the King. Add to that the recent victory on the matter of presidential immunity handed over to him by SCOTUS. He is literally walking on water. He had no message for Kamala nor for the country at the Press Conference.
Among other rambling, Trump said that Kamala failed her Bar exam. If that is true, how did she obtain license to become a Prosecutor in the State of California? Can one be a prosecutor without passing the Bar? Fact check revealed that Kamala failed on first attempt but passed on second attempt. It would appear that Trump has perfected the art of making statements that leave much to be learned.
People will tune in again when Trump is ready to talk about issues.
And the issues are real. Gas prices are high. There’s inflation. Families are struggling with two incomes, retirees are going back to work as cost of living is going through the roof. These are issues people want solutions to. No one cares if Kamala is Indian or Black. What the voters care about is who can improve the standard of living for the greatest number of people.
