VP Kamala Harris Rockets To
Promising Political Leadership After
President Biden Bows Out Of
2024 President Race
By Kamau Austin, Co-Publisher The Black News Scoop
After a very concerning and highly criticized debate performance with Donald Trump, a few weeks ago, President Joe Biden, decided not to seek reelection for another term as President, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris - to become the Democratic Presidential nominee. Since then the Presidential political landscape has become highly rebooted and reenergized!
VP Harris has become a cause célèbre", especially in democratic circles. This is because many feel her candidacy and presumptive Presidential nominee position is more than just about her personal perspectives and proclivities on governing policy.
Many actually feel she embodies a transcendent bulwark against autocracy, fascism, with an urgent mission to save democracy from the threat of Donald Trump's ambitions. This is because of the weaponizing of the Supreme Court to grant President immunity in a recent broad legal decision on his actions, in addition to the court getting rid of affirmative action in college admissions, and decisions like overturning Roe v. Wade.
President Biden's highly reporting polling numbers for his campaign was troubling to say the least as far as beating Donald Trump. There were subtle and not so subtle calls for President Biden to suspend his campaign by party leaders, major donors, and many in the Democratic Party.
The major media was unwavering in its coverage of the questions around if President Joe Biden, could win the election due to his age and cognitive sharpness. Although the President, and many of his supporters, where resolute in their determination to run for a 2nd term, the countless polls and pundits gloomy forecasts and major donor slippage made his campaign not viable and he honorably stepped aside for VP Harris.
