Biden surrendered his re-election campaign, endorsed Harris to succeed him as the Democratic nominee and as POTUS. Thousands of other endorsements have poured in, giving Democrats a gigantic emotional boost as Harris prepares to accept her party nomination.<\/p>\n<p>The mountain she must climb rests in the person of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. Trump continues to cling to a razor-thin polling lead, despite all the missteps, gaffes, the lies, the disjointed campaign blunders &#8230; you name, Trump has done it.<\/p>\n<p>Yet &#8212; for the life of me &#8212; he remains strong politically. I am holding out the greatest hope I can muster that Trump will not hold up under the intense scrutiny that awaits him.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s remember a key point. Trump and his MAGA cultists were fond of reminding us that Joe Biden, at 81 years of age, would be the oldest party nominee ever. Biden didn&#8217;t get that far. &#8220;The oldest ever nominee&#8221; tag now falls on Trump, who&#8217;s 78 years old and is showing every one of those years each time he takes the stump and flies off the rails with his nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>I will encourage the vice president to never surrender as she continues to carry her message forward. She has energized millions of Americans just by agreeing to carry the Democrats&#8217; banner into the next great political battle.<\/p>\n<p>I happen to be just one newly engaged American patriot who wants to see her make history once more. All she has to do is win this election.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris, to state the obvious, has a huge mountain to climb as she campaigns for the presidency of the United States.
