Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became one of the latest top Democrats to support Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid, a day after President Biden dropped his campaign and endorsed Harris. The vice president praised Mr. Biden's leadership and was greeted with cheers at what is now her campaign headquarters in Delaware.

Among the challenges facing Vice President Kamala Harris as she begins her presidential campaign: choosing a running mate and creating a narrative that frames the issues that helped define her rise in politics and her vice presidency, including abortion and immigration.

The Trump campaign has begun to change its focus after running for more than 600 days against President Biden. Former President Trump intensified his attacks on Harris over the weekend, and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, did so today.

Voters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania are contemplating the departure of President Biden from the campaign and the emergence of Vice President Kamala Harris.

    To whoever wins and becomes the president, please lead with humility, considering the Americans who work hard to make ends meet on a daily basis.

    What can be, unburdened by what has been

    Remember when Lester called her out on the border? She’s never even been to the border and old Joe put her in charge of it 😂

    Why did the FAA recently issue a no fly zone over Delaware?

    Never seen a black lady who sent 1200 successful black convictions for simple marihuana use.

    SNL skit with Pelosi pushing shock collar button every time Kamala starts to laugh?
  • @tadjani5191
    Uh...who is writing Hailey's dialogue (and she should have known it, herself)? Gavin Newsome CANNOT be the VP candidate because 2 people from the same state cannot run together.
  • @MJMcKenzie322
    Gotta love when the government doesn’t even let the people pick their candidate, huh?
  • @krazyatom
    The media is trying so hard to promote Kamala Harris lol
  • @ooh_Boi
    you fear for your daughters life and think Harris is the best choice 😂 she started her career by sending black people to prison😂
  • Maybe she can explain the passage of time again lol. Remember everyone, she was the first one out in the 2020 primaries.
  • @jackashmore
    Trumps campaign was planning for this back in may yall
  • @iHeartAMP
    This is the best season since the 2020 pandemic season 😂😂😂😂😂 so many twist and turns bruh. It started slowly but dang!
  • @bnegs521
    Harris is as popular as sushi at a gas station ⛽️
  • @kc8x
    Lol you know the guy will vote for Trump but afraid to say it in front of black women
  • Wasn’t she the border czar for the last three and half years? How’s that gone? Crazy that the Democrats are just going to anoint her with no debate and no voting process between her and other candidates at their convention. The delegates represent the voters and should have a choice!
  • @user-rr7kl9jz9o
    I thought the American public got to choose the nominee? No?
