Gov. Pritzker wasn't paying attention when Vice President of the United States (do I have your attention NOW, Governor?) Kamala Harris told us and showed us who she was. She was a successful prosecutor and an example of the girl from humble beginnings who worked her tail off and succeeded in life and took down the bad guys, which is why we needed her in office. She acknowledged the need for the middle class and with the help of Tim Harris, they developed brilliant plans to restore the middle class and raise up the poor. And if you didn't notice, who chose Kamala Harris to be his Vice President? None other than President Biden, who had 50-plus years' experience in Washington politics and whose loyalty and dedication to this country is nearly unmatched. Now THAT, Governor Pritzker, tells ME ALL I NEED TO KNOW about the qualifications of Kamala Harris.
Except she's spent most of her career IN California. I think Pritzker is correct in stating that many people across the country did not really know her. US Vice Presidents don't always get a lot of press, and most don't really get involved in big meaty issues that result in press coverage throughout their terms. She DID get involved - and quite alot internationally - but I don't think her activities were covered on a regular basis. And while you make some good points, I also think it's easy to forget that many people of voting age simply do not follow politics at any level. Many ARE interested but, too darned busy to do it, so scramble at the last minute re significant elections... I think Harris was severely hampered by having to jump in literally at the last minute, and without warning. No way/time to visit more states and rural areas beyond the swing states. Given that alone, I think she did the best anyone in that situation could have done.
She did jump into the campaign later after a debate w/ tRUMP, who I remember was bullying Joe & we all know he speaks slower due to his stutter. However she was his VP for 4 yrs & only the 2nd woman to EVER run for president! The first woman of color / her mom of Indian descent & her dad was of Jamaican descent. She was born in California , she was a prosecutor & a senator from CA & she was in the US House for 6 yrs, Joe’s VP in 2020-24. She had a shortened campaign period but was supported by Joe the Obama’s- plus other Dems/ Celebrities! Lots of crappy Republican digs regarding Doug’s 1st wife/ divorce & their guy had how many wives?? And affairs? And trials regarding sexual assaults he committed??
Plenty of talk on tRUMP & Elon’s side about rigging & cheating in the ELECTION & I do believe that’s what happened!!
Younger people don’t follow politics.. .so they voted for DJT - a man found guilty of sexual assault, who formulated a coup resulting in the deaths of people in the 2020 election… whether you follow politics or not - PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HE DID ON 1/6/2020!! We SAW IT ON TV - ON EVERY NEWS STATION! Something that NEVER EVER HAPPENED B4 In the history of our country!!
STOP MAKING EXCUSES & ENABLING HIM and “younger people”- If they’re now 18 to early 20’s THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL THEN & surely
saw it & heard about what happened. I have grandkids that age & they saw/ heard & talked about it in their HIGH SCHOOLS!!
Who's Tim Harris? I watched a lot of her rallies on tiktok and I don't recall that name. I personally, don't believe she had enough time. Plus there's too much racism and bigotry in this country. I heard a lot of, "a woman president is fine, just not THAT woman", men and women alike.
She was Joe’s VP- she would have made a GREAT PRESIDENT! Tim Walz was her VP PICK. He had been in the National Guard, had been governor of Minnesota, was a teacher & Coach in a Minnesota high school, & I believe his wife also taught in the same HS. His son was disabled(autism-as I recall) & Trump made some demeaning remarks about that! Which were uncalled for, as many people who have known DJT & Melania, have long felt that Baron is also on the spectrum! Many of us who voted for Kamala feel that both sexual & racial discrimination were the reasons she did NOT win! But there are also numerous stories regarding democratic ballots that were not counted/ hidden/ & or lost( from people who did early voting) and after the polls closed were NEVER BROUGHT OUT & ADDED TO THE COUNT!! Many seniors do early voting because physically disabled seniors have difficulty getting transportation to polling places on voting day, so they sign up w/ local handicapped transportation services to get to/ fro the polls!
Much of the country did not know much about Kamala Harris except for what faux news sources had been spouting about her since 2020 when she was chosen as VP by Biden - pushing the "cackling" thing and claiming she slept herself to the top and how she spoke nonsensical. That was well entrenched on the right when Biden stepped aside.
And people thought her “laugh” was a reason to vote for tRUMP? I find that real hard to believe! I’m betting Elon & tRUMP rigged the election count! ! There may still be people prejudiced against another race or sex, but given what we know regarding Elon’s tech ability to hack into things-I’m betting on that being the reason tRUMP “won”!! He’s a con artist & FAR FROM being “PRESIDENTIAL!” His tariffs are NOT HELPING EVERYDAY AMERICANS, & he’s now just declared war against the Houthi’s ! Because the world needs another WAR!! He really hasn’t SOLVED anything in Ukraine- his mouth flaps constantly & nothing positive FOR EVERYDAY AMERICANS has EVER been a goal he’s met!
My point is that the Right started in on her as soon as she was chosen for VP (and never let up). Too often faux news has a big hand in defining us and our representatives. Social media has a lot to do with that. Obviously I know how accomplished she is. You can believe what you want but if Dems aren't aware of what the other side does and their influence we are doomed to repeat 2016 and 2024. I agree with the rest of your comment. I also think there was some trickery and cheating going on in the last election.

It was an honest mistake. I meant to say Tim Walz, but had Kamala Harris on the brain.
