"A long-time national champion of abortion rights is on her way to the top of the Democratic ticket. And Vice President Kamala Harris will kick Donald Trumpās ass on the issue."
~ Joan McCarter
"She was San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, making the 'prosecutor vs. felon' narrative simply too delicious. (She was also known for vigorously prosecuting sex crimes; she will be running against an adjudicated rapist.) And Harris has been the partyās single best surrogate on the issue of abortion rights and reproductive justice, which is the Democratsā winning issue."
~ Joan Walsh

"Theyāre especially afraid of Harrisā top issue, abortion rights, because itās one of Americaās top issues, too, and sheās on the same side as about two-thirds of voters. Rather than joust with Harris on the right of women to control their own bodies, the Trump campaign is focusing on another issue, declaring that Harris 'wants to get rid of plastic straws.'ā

"Obviously, Harris frightens Team Trump. At age 59, she will make the 78-year-old Trump look like the very senior citizen that he is. She also has a sharp mind and a prosecutorās ability to close in for the kill.
As Harris begins her run for president, she seems to have broken Republicansā brains but left their sexism and racism intact."

"Nothing triggers Donald Trump (and MAGA) more than strong Black women. Period. Black women are at the intersection of the racism and sexism that so fuels Trump and his MAGA movement. ...
Harris is the manifestation of all that scares Trump: She is a powerful, successful, smart Black woman."

"The Trump campaign spent two years creating a political bomb concerning old age. They assumed that they could plant this bomb at the feet of Joe Biden.
Trump is now the one holding the age bomb. He is not only a full generation older than Harrisāeverything about him looks geriatric by comparison."

"In the coming weeks we will find out if the people who said, 'I hate Trump, but Biden is too old' really meant it.
Will they find some new excuse for why they have to vote for Trump? Will they become unconcerned about the risks of old age and cognitive decline in a president?"
"Trumpās entire political career has been built on divisiveness over race and sex, starting with the lie that Obama might have been born outside the US and gendered attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016. As Biden, Prospero-like, drowns his book, the election of Harris, a Black woman, would provide this eraās last word in poetic justice."
~ David Smith

"Harrisās own qualifications pale in comparison to the case against Trump. That case is simple and easy to make. Donald Trump is a fascist. He is a felon. He will be the oldest president in American history. All the Democrats need is someone who can repeat these facts again and again. Joe Biden sadly wasnāt that person. Kamala Harris is."

"A lot of us arenāt happy with the way things played out for Joe Biden. But MAGA and the media have wasted no time. Theyāre already coming after Kamala with racist and sexist attacks. That's why, in this very difficult moment, we must unite.
We have to be ready to push back harder, stronger, and faster than ever. We must intensely pressure the media into covering Trumpās lunacy and lies at a constant.
If we unite, we win."

"The reality is, look at how the Democratic Party came behind Harris yesterday. I was actually stunned. I was impressed at how quickly everyone followed Joe Bidenās lead, including Adam Schiff and many others."

T**** made "#Unity" the theme of his #Convention, but it was #Democrats that actually SHOWED IT by so QUICKLY & ENTHUSIASTICALLY rallying around #Harris (in large part b/c of how strongly we feel about the need to defeat #TheOrangeMenace.)
And now, everything everyone has been saying about being "too old to be president" and questions about "mental fitness" have been laid at his feet.
See? Trump is unifying. We all hate him and are joining together to stop him.
