Kamala Harris’s stunning 11th-hour arrival in the center of the US political conversation drives home a point I want to make about the length of our election process.
It need not drag on for months and months!
It’s almost impossible to comprehend, but the vice president has been campaigning for president for less than a month. Less than one month!
She and her team have raised hundreds of millions of dollars, she has picked a vice-presidential candidate to run with her, she and Donald J. Trump have agreed to a debate on Sept. 10, Harris is formulating an economic strategy.
All of this and more has occurred in less than a month.
Circumstances overwhelmed the previous presumptive Democratic frontrunner, President Joe Biden. He pulled out and endorsed Harris to take over the top spot. If there has been a more perfect roll-out of a presidential campaign, then someone will have to show it to me. Because this one looked like perfection in real time.
It all just goes to demonstrate that we need not drag this process out forever and then some!
I’ve never wondered aloud how we could shorten the length of time we devote to political campaigning. Would it require a federal law enacted by Congress? An amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Does each state have the power to ban campaign activity?
We ought to look at all of the above.
11th hour courtesy of Pelosi and her minions. Bullshit in circumventing the process. I still donāt understand how someone with ZERO votes gets to run for President of the greatest country in the world! I canāt believe you are okay with this. ZERO democracy!
Please name one policy she has ever implemented, both California, Senate or VP.
She was a terrible AG, not my words, words of Californians. Regarded as the most left of senators when she was elected to the senate. Of course, now the media is rewriting her history to tone her down.
She now claims sheāll fix inflation once elected. She was elected THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO!!
Then thereās Walz āguns I carried in battleā statement. From a military personnel standpoint, thatās stolen valor. CNN even called him out on this one. He has stated he doesnāt belief in free speech as we know it. He beliefs in socialism, he stated it.
