"content": "\u003cp>A massive, cheering crowd greeted Kamala Harris during \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/united-states-presidential-election-f0a174c55b2f4ef68aa0983826a95bc1\">the first rally\u003c/a> of her newly announced presidential campaign in 2019. Speaking on a late January day outside city hall in her hometown of Oakland, California, she framed her bid as part of something bigger than simply winning an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question,” Harris said, invoking Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 call for “moral leadership.” “Who are we as Americans?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Harris’ campaign were wrapped in historical significance. She formally launched her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, referencing Shirley Chisholm, the first Black person and woman to seek a major party’s presidential nod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, with Democrats in despair over \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump\">Donald Trump’s\u003c/a> presidency, the first-term California senator appeared to be an ideal cure. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Black Jamaican father, Harris evoked comparisons to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/barack-obama\">Barack Obama\u003c/a>, whose powerful biography and soaring rhetoric galvanized Democrats more than a decade earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the early promise of Harris’ campaign met a more complicated reality as she spent the next 10 months struggling to break through a crowded field of candidates and churning through staff and cash. She ultimately withdrew from the race weeks before the Iowa caucuses, a disappointment mitigated only when nominee Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/biden-picks-kamala-harris-as-running-mate-first-black-woman-905fa6cee7441c8b0cd5363d578278ce\">selected her as his running mate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-drops-out-2024-election-ddffde72838370032bdcff946cfc2ce6\">ended his reelection bid\u003c/a>, Democrats say Harris has grown into a more savvy candidate who will avoid repeating mistakes from her first campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, there’s been no roadmap for Kamala Harris,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic National Committee chair and one of the prominent Black Democrats who urged Biden to pick Harris in 2020. “But she’s really found her voice and has been going non-stop since the 2022 midterm campaign, especially. I think she’s become a generational figure and proven she can bring … leadership to the party and the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Harris began her campaign as a favorite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A former prosecutor and state attorney general, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/4835b99bb5304fffb5c713c16a7db18a\">launched her 2020 campaign\u003c/a> with the slogan: “Kamala Harris: For the People.” She spoke in sweeping terms about an “inflection point” for a country riven with social fissures, economic disparities and political strife. She emphasized her biography and her “stroller’s-eye view” of her parents’ activism in the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early entrant to the race, Harris’ initial media blitz and massive opening rally solidified her status as a presumed favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her aides outlined a wide path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders led the Democrats’ progressive wing, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offering his biggest challenge. Biden, then the 76-year-old former vice president, had yet to announce but was expected to anchor the more centrist wing, and he stood strong among Black voters who figured so prominently in the first-in-the-South primary in South Carolina and many Super Tuesday states that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris came to the campaign having hit her stride during Senate Judiciary Committee sessions, especially when questioning Trump’s judicial nominees. She’d also signed on as a co-sponsor to Sanders’ push for a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ec36c409be344f23854ae4497ad87ee5\">“Medicare for All”\u003c/a> national health insurance system. She was a regular on cable news and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some younger progressives distrusted her record as a prosecutor. “Kamala is a cop” became a tagline on social media. That contingent, however vocal, was not viewed as large enough to sway a national primary contest — and its opposition actually affirmed one of Harris’ arguments: “My entire career has been focused on keeping people safe,” she told ABC News. “It is probably one of the things that motivates me more than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her full potential, Harris’ aides reasoned, she could appeal to nearly all branches of the party. It was, more or less, a campaign intended to chip away and eventually overtake Biden’s coalition, presuming he joined the race, bolstered with a leftward reach that Biden, the white male veteran of the Washington establishment, could never manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">‘That little girl was me’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s an art in presidential politics to entice voters in ways that allow them to see what they want to see: “Hope and Change” from Obama, “Make America Great Again” from Trump. The risk in aiming everywhere, though, is that a candidate may not stick anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ early appearances in Iowa, first up in the nominating calendar, and South Carolina were dominated by working-age women, a key Democratic demographic. In South Carolina, far more diverse than overwhelmingly white Iowa, her audiences were racially diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the overall field widened, Harris faded from de facto front-runner status. She became one of many candidates vying for money, media attention and votes — especially once Biden announced in the spring. She raised $12 million in the first quarter of 2019, a solid sum but not one that reflected the electricity of her opening salvo in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That thing was a free-for-all,” said Boyd Brown, a former Democratic National Committee member who backed former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke for the nomination. “Everybody was trying to catch Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The argument for a Harris presidency never crystallized. Her “For the People” motto notwithstanding, she did not project Sanders’ or Warren’s economic populism. Entreaties about democracy were not central to her brand compared with Biden, whose “Soul of the Nation” pitch framed 2020 as a singular mission: sparing the country another Trump term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there was another contender Harris did not account for: Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, built a grassroots network in Iowa, enjoyed glowing national media attention and became a generational counter to Biden in the primary’s moderate lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris managed a hit moment in the primary’s first debate in June, criticizing Biden for opposing court-ordered busing in the 1970s as an answer to continued public school segregation. She personalized her broadside, telling of a young minority student who attended an integrated school only because of federal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That little girl was me,” \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/dbf7aa798cf54646a7b8c705c6af27e8\">she told Biden\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ campaign immediately marketed campaign merchandise with the quote, drawing some criticism that the line was canned.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">A sputtering finish\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The debate gave Harris her best fundraising surge since her launch. But the good news was short-lived. She clarified in succeeding days that she did not necessarily support federally mandated busing — the position Biden held as a young U.S. senator. And even with the boost, her second-quarter fundraising haul was only $12 million, well behind Biden, Sanders and Buttigieg, who doubled her mark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer, Harris unveiled her health care plan, proposing to add a Medicare-like public option to existing private health insurance exchanges. It was a shift that abandoned her single-payer position in the Senate and highlighted her difficulty finding a core message. In debates, rivals attacked her record as a prosecutor, especially her aggressiveness against drug offenders.

Speaking on a late January day outside city hall in her hometown of Oakland, California, she framed her bid as part of something bigger than simply winning an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question,” Harris said, invoking Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 call for “moral leadership.” “Who are we as Americans?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early days of Harris’ campaign were wrapped in historical significance. She formally launched her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, referencing Shirley Chisholm, the first Black person and woman to seek a major party’s presidential nod.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, with Democrats in despair over \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump\">Donald Trump’s\u003c/a> presidency, the first-term California senator appeared to be an ideal cure. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Black Jamaican father, Harris evoked comparisons to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/barack-obama\">Barack Obama\u003c/a>, whose powerful biography and soaring rhetoric galvanized Democrats more than a decade earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She ultimately withdrew from the race weeks before the Iowa caucuses, a disappointment mitigated only when nominee Joe Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/biden-picks-kamala-harris-as-running-mate-first-black-woman-905fa6cee7441c8b0cd5363d578278ce\">selected her as his running mate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/biden-drops-out-2024-election-ddffde72838370032bdcff946cfc2ce6\">ended his reelection bid\u003c/a>, Democrats say Harris has grown into a more savvy candidate who will avoid repeating mistakes from her first campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, there’s been no roadmap for Kamala Harris,” said Donna Brazile, a former Democratic National Committee chair and one of the prominent Black Democrats who urged Biden to pick Harris in 2020. “But she’s really found her voice and has been going non-stop since the 2022 midterm campaign, especially. I think she’s become a generational figure and proven she can bring … leadership to the party and the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Harris began her campaign as a favorite\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A former prosecutor and state attorney general, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/4835b99bb5304fffb5c713c16a7db18a\">launched her 2020 campaign\u003c/a> with the slogan: “Kamala Harris: For the People.” She spoke in sweeping terms about an “inflection point” for a country riven with social fissures, economic disparities and political strife. She emphasized her biography and her “stroller’s-eye view” of her parents’ activism in the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early entrant to the race, Harris’ initial media blitz and massive opening rally solidified her status as a presumed favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her aides outlined a wide path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders led the Democrats’ progressive wing, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren offering his biggest challenge. Biden, then the 76-year-old former vice president, had yet to announce but was expected to anchor the more centrist wing, and he stood strong among Black voters who figured so prominently in the first-in-the-South primary in South Carolina and many Super Tuesday states that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris came to the campaign having hit her stride during Senate Judiciary Committee sessions, especially when questioning Trump’s judicial nominees. She’d also signed on as a co-sponsor to Sanders’ push for a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ec36c409be344f23854ae4497ad87ee5\">“Medicare for All”\u003c/a> national health insurance system. She was a regular on cable news and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some younger progressives distrusted her record as a prosecutor. “Kamala is a cop” became a tagline on social media. That contingent, however vocal, was not viewed as large enough to sway a national primary contest — and its opposition actually affirmed one of Harris’ arguments: “My entire career has been focused on keeping people safe,” she told ABC News. “It is probably one of the things that motivates me more than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her full potential, Harris’ aides reasoned, she could appeal to nearly all branches of the party. It was, more or less, a campaign intended to chip away and eventually overtake Biden’s coalition, presuming he joined the race, bolstered with a leftward reach that Biden, the white male veteran of the Washington establishment, could never manage.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">‘That little girl was me’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s an art in presidential politics to entice voters in ways that allow them to see what they want to see: “Hope and Change” from Obama, “Make America Great Again” from Trump. The risk in aiming everywhere, though, is that a candidate may not stick anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ early appearances in Iowa, first up in the nominating calendar, and South Carolina were dominated by working-age women, a key Democratic demographic. In South Carolina, far more diverse than overwhelmingly white Iowa, her audiences were racially diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the overall field widened, Harris faded from de facto front-runner status. She became one of many candidates vying for money, media attention and votes — especially once Biden announced in the spring. She raised $12 million in the first quarter of 2019, a solid sum but not one that reflected the electricity of her opening salvo in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That thing was a free-for-all,” said Boyd Brown, a former Democratic National Committee member who backed former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke for the nomination. “Everybody was trying to catch Biden.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The argument for a Harris presidency never crystallized. Her “For the People” motto notwithstanding, she did not project Sanders’ or Warren’s economic populism. Entreaties about democracy were not central to her brand compared with Biden, whose “Soul of the Nation” pitch framed 2020 as a singular mission: sparing the country another Trump term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there was another contender Harris did not account for: Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, built a grassroots network in Iowa, enjoyed glowing national media attention and became a generational counter to Biden in the primary’s moderate lane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris managed a hit moment in the primary’s first debate in June, criticizing Biden for opposing court-ordered busing in the 1970s as an answer to continued public school segregation. She personalized her broadside, telling of a young minority student who attended an integrated school only because of federal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That little girl was me,” \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/dbf7aa798cf54646a7b8c705c6af27e8\">she told Biden\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ campaign immediately marketed campaign merchandise with the quote, drawing some criticism that the line was canned.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">A sputtering finish\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The debate gave Harris her best fundraising surge since her launch. But the good news was short-lived. She clarified in succeeding days that she did not necessarily support federally mandated busing — the position Biden held as a young U.S. senator. And even with the boost, her second-quarter fundraising haul was only $12 million, well behind Biden, Sanders and Buttigieg, who doubled her mark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer, Harris unveiled her health care plan, proposing to add a Medicare-like public option to existing private health insurance exchanges. It was a shift that abandoned her single-payer position in the Senate and highlighted her difficulty finding a core message. In debates, rivals attacked her record as a prosecutor, especially her aggressiveness against drug offenders. By the fall, her speaking time on stage was middle of the pack, making it difficult to change the dynamics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was faltering in Iowa and New Hampshire. However, Biden’s support among Black voters remained steady, and Harris could not afford television ads. Harris’ ideal scenario — an impressive start in Iowa, then moving ahead of Biden in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday — was closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Joe Biden has always been our guy,” said Antjuan Seawright, a prominent Black Democratic consultant in South Carolina, explaining that it was never a rejection of Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-ca-state-wire-politics-election-2020-kamala-harris-9f15f9bae46c54de8d88ad3e8388e4be\">She ended her campaign\u003c/a> on Dec. 3, 2019, saying, “In good faith, I can’t tell you … that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Still enough for the No. 2 spot — and now No. 1\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The harshest assessment is that Harris ran a bad campaign that reflected the principal — a warning about \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/harris-election-president-wisconsin-democrats-012c6474b8b23960d2cf616e92989a4b\">her 2024 prospects\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s just a horrible candidate who could not communicate a rationale for her candidacy,” said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, who mused that Biden, at 81 years old, may have been quicker to set aside his own reelection ambitions if he had more confidence in his vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Democrats are more charitable with their hindsight.

The 22-year-old heads the youth-focused group Gen Z for Change, which advocates for progressive policies online and has nearly 2 million followers on TikTok.

Harris has previously said she stands with Biden’s foreign policy, but she publicly voiced support for a temporary ceasefire before Biden did. However, some voters aligned with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/02/27/1234106750/uncommitted-voters-michigan-primary-arab-muslim-dearborn-hamtramck-detroit\">the ‘uncommitted movement’\u003c/a> during \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/03/06/1236295096/super-tuesday-results-uncommitted-biden-gaza-israel\">the primaries \u003c/a>remain in a tough place. (However, the Uncommitted National Movement has come out and endorsed Harris.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d like to see substantive evidence that her position on Gaza will be better than Biden in a meaningful way,” said Mason Pressler of Bay City, Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pressler, who had just turned 18, argued that this was the issue that weighed the most on his vote. He explained that if Harris could heed some of the calls progressives make, like advocating for a permanent ceasefire, she’d earn his support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his friends were “demoralized” about the election a week ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were asking me which third party was best to vote for and what the point was in voting,” he said. “I’m not sure that has fundamentally changed, but I do think Kamala [Harris] has the ability to reach people that Biden never could. The question is, will she make an effort to?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout Biden’s first term, Harris has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/01/19/1197954618/harris-gen-z-campaign\">emphasized reaching out to younger voters\u003c/a>. Last fall, she traveled around the country, visiting different colleges and focusing discussions on issues like protecting abortion rights and curbing gun violence — two areas she championed during Biden’s first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Raquel Crudete, 26, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is more convinced that Harris can be moved to the left on policy in ways Biden could not, including on foreign policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really looking at third parties if I had to vote, and there had not been a change in the democratic nominee,” Crudete said. “I had even started just focusing on down-ballot races in the hopes that even if Biden lost, at least we’d have a chance with keeping the House and Senate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just over a day after Harris announced she would seek the nomination, her campaign reported raising $100 million. Crudete was struck by the general response Harris received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has helped revitalize the democratic base,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Alec Ferreira, 25, of San Carlos, Arizona, have been taken aback by the swift ticket change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really broke my heart seeing [Biden] step down, but it had to be done,” Ferreira, who leans more independent, said. “In all honesty, I really wish he let the delegates decide the nominee instead of backing Kamala [Harris] up from the get-go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions also remain on whether excitement for Harris will last, even as the internet content keeps coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite how funny all of the coconut memes and brat edits are, I hope VP Harris does not make the mistake of taking young voters for granted,” said Cameron Driggers, 19, of Gainesville, Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, Gen-Z wants something to vote for, and memes aren’t gonna cut it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He explained that if Harris could heed some of the calls progressives make, like advocating for a permanent ceasefire, she’d earn his support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his friends were “demoralized” about the election a week ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were asking me which third party was best to vote for and what the point was in voting,” he said. “I’m not sure that has fundamentally changed, but I do think Kamala [Harris] has the ability to reach people that Biden never could.

Crudete was struck by the general response Harris received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has helped revitalize the democratic base,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, like Alec Ferreira, 25, of San Carlos, Arizona, have been taken aback by the swift ticket change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really broke my heart seeing [Biden] step down, but it had to be done,” Ferreira, who leans more independent, said. “In all honesty, I really wish he let the delegates decide the nominee instead of backing Kamala [Harris] up from the get-go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions also remain on whether excitement for Harris will last, even as the internet content keeps coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite how funny all of the coconut memes and brat edits are, I hope VP Harris does not make the mistake of taking young voters for granted,” said Cameron Driggers, 19, of Gainesville, Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But they told CalMatters that they are also excited about participating in a historic moment and hopeful that, after weeks of turmoil, Biden’s momentous decision — which included endorsing Harris as his replacement — could turn around Democratic prospects of stopping another term for former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s time to mess around,” said Brian Calderón Tabatabai, the mayor of West Covina who is also running for a state Assembly seat, recovering quickly from being “in a haze” after hearing the news on his way to brunch. “Right now is the time to show we, as the Democratic Party, have our things together, and this isn’t the chaos a lot of folks are making it seem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasha Renée Pérez, the mayor of Alhambra who is running for state Senate, said she hoped that Harris would help motivate voters who hadn’t been paying attention to the election before now, boosting fundraising and turnout in swing districts as Democrats also fight to regain control of the House in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She comes from our home state. She’s a Black woman, an Indian woman. We’ve just never had anyone like her be our candidate,” Pérez said. “We have to get this show on the road and get her elected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking Biden’s signal, Democrats across the country — leaders of key caucuses in Congress, party activists, even former \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/BillClinton/status/1815102085198958657\">President Bill Clinton and 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton\u003c/a> — quickly closed ranks behind Harris, dampening the prospects of an open convention in which delegates might choose from among a field of candidates after a flash primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/gavin-newsom-biden-democrats/\">widely mentioned as a potential future presidential prospect\u003c/a>, was slower to fall in line. Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1815085381081281005\">released a statement\u003c/a> praising Biden as an “extraordinary, history-making president” but did not immediately endorse Harris, whom he had said in recent weeks that \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-07-10/newsom-biden-challenge-harris-president-election\">he would not run against\u003c/a>. His spokespeople did not respond for hours to questions about how he would like to see the party select a replacement nominee, though this afternoon, he eventually \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1815168477562646858\">posted online\u003c/a> that “no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction” than Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1815102711823548552\">notably absent among the voices\u003c/a> initially endorsing Harris was former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who reportedly played an outsized role in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/nancy-pelosi-role-biden-out/\">persuading Biden to drop out\u003c/a> and told fellow California Democrats that \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/pelosi-support-open-nomination-biden-drop-out-00169893\">there should be an open process\u003c/a> to select a replacement. On Monday, Pelosi \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2024/07/22/nancy-pelosi-kamala-harris-democratic-nominee-endorsement\">threw her support behind Harris\u003c/a> in a statement, calling her “brilliantly astute – and <a href=”https://www.kqed.org/news/11996704/former-speaker-nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president”>I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.</a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the delegates who spoke with CalMatters said they had alternative candidates in mind, pointing toward a more likely competition to be Harris’ vice presidential pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll be surprised if anyone else gets into it,” said Sal Rosselli, president emeritus of the National Union of Healthcare Workers, calling Harris the “obvious choice to replace him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris drew criticism from left-wing critics during the 2020 primaries over her record as a prosecutor and California’s attorney general. Progressive activists and criminal justice reformers have criticized her \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/30/why-did-kamala-harris-withhold-support-special-investigations-police-shootings/\">handling of police shootings\u003c/a> and called her \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/kamala-harris-california-background/\">record on the death penalty mixed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it wasn’t enough to dissuade progressive delegate Calderón Tabatabai. He called Harris “highly, highly ready to take over” for Biden and praised both for pushing a progressive domestic policy agenda, including efforts to expand workers’ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are issues,” he said of Harris’ record on criminal justice. “Are those issues something that would get me to say, ‘No, I’d like to see someone different at this point?’ Not now.

But they told CalMatters that they are also excited about participating in a historic moment and hopeful that, after weeks of turmoil, Biden’s momentous decision — which included endorsing Harris as his replacement — could turn around Democratic prospects of stopping another term for former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s a Black woman, an Indian woman. We’ve just never had anyone like her be our candidate,” Pérez said. “We have to get this show on the road and get her elected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking Biden’s signal, Democrats across the country — leaders of key caucuses in Congress, party activists, even former \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/BillClinton/status/1815102085198958657\">President Bill Clinton and 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton\u003c/a> — quickly closed ranks behind Harris, dampening the prospects of an open convention in which delegates might choose from among a field of candidates after a flash primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/gavin-newsom-biden-democrats/\">widely mentioned as a potential future presidential prospect\u003c/a>, was slower to fall in line. Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1815085381081281005\">released a statement\u003c/a> praising Biden as an “extraordinary, history-making president” but did not immediately endorse Harris, whom he had said in recent weeks that \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-07-10/newsom-biden-challenge-harris-president-election\">he would not run against\u003c/a>. His spokespeople did not respond for hours to questions about how he would like to see the party select a replacement nominee, though this afternoon, he eventually \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1815168477562646858\">posted online\u003c/a> that “no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump’s dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction” than Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1815102711823548552\">notably absent among the voices\u003c/a> initially endorsing Harris was former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who reportedly played an outsized role in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/nancy-pelosi-role-biden-out/\">persuading Biden to drop out\u003c/a> and told fellow California Democrats that \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/19/pelosi-support-open-nomination-biden-drop-out-00169893\">there should be an open process\u003c/a> to select a replacement. On Monday, Pelosi \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/2024/07/22/nancy-pelosi-kamala-harris-democratic-nominee-endorsement\">threw her support behind Harris\u003c/a> in a statement, calling her “brilliantly astute – and <a href=”https://www.kqed.org/news/11996704/former-speaker-nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president”>I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November.</a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the delegates who spoke with CalMatters said they had alternative candidates in mind, pointing toward a more likely competition to be Harris’ vice presidential pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll be surprised if anyone else gets into it,” said Sal Rosselli, president emeritus of the National Union of Healthcare Workers, calling Harris the “obvious choice to replace him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris drew criticism from left-wing critics during the 2020 primaries over her record as a prosecutor and California’s attorney general. Progressive activists and criminal justice reformers have criticized her \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/30/why-did-kamala-harris-withhold-support-special-investigations-police-shootings/\">handling of police shootings\u003c/a> and called her \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/kamala-harris-california-background/\">record on the death penalty mixed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it wasn’t enough to dissuade progressive delegate Calderón Tabatabai. He called Harris “highly, highly ready to take over” for Biden and praised both for pushing a progressive domestic policy agenda, including efforts to expand workers’ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are issues,” he said of Harris’ record on criminal justice. “Are those issues something that would get me to say, ‘No, I’d like to see someone different at this point?’ Not now. Not when I understand what Project 2025 is,”\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>he said, referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/article/project-2025.html\">conservative policy wish list for a second Trump term\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Igor Tregub, a city council member in Berkeley who supported the progressive U.S. Sen.

In just 24 hours, Harris has received a growing number of endorsements from California Democratic leaders, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996704/former-speaker-nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, and appears to be sailing smoothly toward the nomination when convention delegates meet in Chicago next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Endorsements from influential Latino leaders could be critical. Latinos are projected to make up nearly 15% of all eligible voters nationwide in November, reaching 36.2 million — a new high after two decades of growth, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/10/key-facts-about-hispanic-eligible-voters-in-2024/\">the Pew Research Center\u003c/a>. California is home to the largest share, with a quarter of the nation’s Latino eligible voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given the community’s youth, every election cycle sees a jump in new Latino voters; 17.5 million Latinos are expected to cast a ballot this year, a quarter of them for the first time, \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/blog/2024/05/06/latino-voters-will-play-decisive-role-in-2024/\">according to UnidosUS\u003c/a>, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.[aside postID=news_11996665 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/PresidentJoeBiden2024-1020x694.jpg']UnidosUS Action Fund, the organization’s political arm, endorsed Harris on Monday in \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/UnidosUSAF/status/1815357245317615992\">a post\u003c/a> on X and urged “all Latinos and all Americans to support Kamala Harris for President.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are excited, and I think, from the reaction you’re seeing sort of on the grassroots level and on social media today, the Latino community is excited,” Rafael Collazo, executive director at UnidosUS Action Fund, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vice President Harris has a proven track record of leadership dating back 15 plus years in her various leadership positions representing California. And she’s been a trusted partner that we believe will continue to open doors of opportunities and access for the Latino community around economics and a variety of issues that Latinos care about,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was expected to tout a low unemployment rate among Latinos during a keynote \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/press-releases/president-biden-to-keynote-final-day-of-unidosus-annual-conference/\">address\u003c/a> at the organization’s annual conference earlier this month in Las Vegas, part of his efforts to court the Latino vote. However, the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-biden-talks-about-protections-for-u-s-citizens-spouses-at-unidosus-conference\">missed\u003c/a> the appearance after he tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collazo said the organizations’ own polling suggests the top concern for most Latino voters is the rising cost of living and other economic anxieties. Abortion rights and a “balanced approach” to the southern border are also important issues, Collazo said, with most supporting a legalization pathway for longtime undocumented immigrants who have a positive impact on the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even Latinos that are more conservative on border enforcement issues largely reject the demonization of Latino immigrants … and they’re not in favor of mass deportation, which was essentially the centerpiece for the [Republican National Convention] last week,” Collazo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Biden announced a new \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/06/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-keep-families-together/\">executive action\u003c/a> that will help eligible undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some organizations that advocate for immigrant rights, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, have also been critical of and \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/immigrants-rights-groups-sue-biden-administration-over-new-anti-asylum-rule\">sued\u003c/a> the Biden administration over its attempts to restrict access to asylum for immigrants who cross the border unlawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have already \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/nx-s1-5048053/gop-takes-aim-at-harris-even-though-she-doesnt-have-the-nomination-yet#:~:text=Transcript-,While%20Vice%20President%20Harris%20has%20yet%20to%20secure%20the%20Democratic,troubles%2C%20including%20immigration%20and%20inflation.\">started running ads\u003c/a> against Harris over the administration’s handling of the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In just 24 hours, Harris has received a growing number of endorsements from California Democratic leaders, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996704/former-speaker-nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, and appears to be sailing smoothly toward the nomination when convention delegates meet in Chicago next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Endorsements from influential Latino leaders could be critical. Latinos are projected to make up nearly 15% of all eligible voters nationwide in November, reaching 36.2 million — a new high after two decades of growth, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/10/key-facts-about-hispanic-eligible-voters-in-2024/\">the Pew Research Center\u003c/a>. California is home to the largest share, with a quarter of the nation’s Latino eligible voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given the community’s youth, every election cycle sees a jump in new Latino voters; 17.5 million Latinos are expected to cast a ballot this year, a quarter of them for the first time, \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/blog/2024/05/06/latino-voters-will-play-decisive-role-in-2024/\">according to UnidosUS\u003c/a>, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And she’s been a trusted partner that we believe will continue to open doors of opportunities and access for the Latino community around economics and a variety of issues that Latinos care about,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was expected to tout a low unemployment rate among Latinos during a keynote \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/press-releases/president-biden-to-keynote-final-day-of-unidosus-annual-conference/\">address\u003c/a> at the organization’s annual conference earlier this month in Las Vegas, part of his efforts to court the Latino vote.

Abortion rights and a “balanced approach” to the southern border are also important issues, Collazo said, with most supporting a legalization pathway for longtime undocumented immigrants who have a positive impact on the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even Latinos that are more conservative on border enforcement issues largely reject the demonization of Latino immigrants … and they’re not in favor of mass deportation, which was essentially the centerpiece for the [Republican National Convention] last week,” Collazo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Biden announced a new \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/06/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-keep-families-together/\">executive action\u003c/a> that will help eligible undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some organizations that advocate for immigrant rights, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, have also been critical of and \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/immigrants-rights-groups-sue-biden-administration-over-new-anti-asylum-rule\">sued\u003c/a> the Biden administration over its attempts to restrict access to asylum for immigrants who cross the border unlawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have already \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/nx-s1-5048053/gop-takes-aim-at-harris-even-though-she-doesnt-have-the-nomination-yet#:~:text=Transcript-,While%20Vice%20President%20Harris%20has%20yet%20to%20secure%20the%20Democratic,troubles%2C%20including%20immigration%20and%20inflation.\">started running ads\u003c/a> against Harris over the administration’s handling of the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
