Remember how many primary delegates Kamala Harris won in the 2020 Democrat primaries? Oh, yes – none. She dropped out before a single primary vote was cast, in no small part because she was the recipient of a devastating attack by then-Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard (HI), who abandoned her laid-back aloha composure to tear Harris apart over her record as attorney general of California. I was recently able to uncover some previously unknown video coverage of Tulsi’s takedown of Kamala Harris:
Now, by dint of befuddled old Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris has been anointed as the candidate. And, we may very well ask, how many primary delegates was Kamala Harris awarded in the Democrat’s 2024 primaries? Oh, yes – none.
This whole thing is starting to make some Democrats nervous. And they should be.
Behind the public jubilation over Vice President Harris’s swift rise to become their party’s likely nominee for president, Democratic lawmakers are privately anxious about her prospects of defeating former President Trump, acknowledging she is largely untested as a candidate and faces serious challenges.
The anxiety, for the most part, has been set aside out of a deep sense of relief that President Biden decided to drop his reelection bid. After months of unease over the 81-year-old incumbent, Democratic lawmakers are glad to rally behind Harris in hopes she will rev up Democratic donors along with young and minority voters.
The relief over the withdrawal of doddering old Joe is palpable, although it does nothing to assuage the nervousness a lot of us harbor about an arguably senile old man who has trouble recognizing his own primary Cabinet members remaining in place as POTUS. But we can’t help but question how “glad to really support” Democrats actually are when they look at Kamala Harris’ record.
