For all the talk in the media about how she was 'brat' and joy and a wonderful candidate—Joy Reid said she ran a flawless, flawless campaign—and for all of that, ain't nobody talking about her running again in 2028. Weird,
I think we can all bid a fond farewell to Kamala Harris from the public scene,
Much of this Democratic disaster can be laid at Joe Biden's feet. He never should have tried to run for reelection in his 80s, eventually leaving Harris to manage a short substitute campaign that proved inadequate,
Both [campaigns] ran aground on the same two things. No. 1 is her inability to communicate even the most simple idea to the American people. And it's not because she's not intellectually capable of doing it, it's because she is in a box,
It was going to be hard to distance herself from the sitting president; she couldn't use him as a surrogate because he was just not an effective surrogate,
I think our biggest strength was Kamala's own words that she had so many far-left San Francisco liberal policy proposals that were all explained by her on camera during the 2020 campaign that we were able to deploy really effectively and target into districts where people have really negative views of those,
I don't think voters felt like abortion rights were at risk,
Both started with great promise,
There's the sense that she's the savior of the new flavor, the next generation for Democrats, and both kind of failed spectacularly,
I just hope he'll make the price of groceries and gas more reasonable,
It's a political victory that our country has never seen before,
Hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright. As long as we never give up, and as long as we keep fighting."
I know folks are experiencing a range of emotions right now,
I'm moving through the process of grief,
I feel pretty hopeless right now,
I think Kamala's [Harris] speech was uniting. She tried to be optimistic about the future, which was great. I hope she will be back here next time again for the Presidency. I think she was a great candidate as she managed to bring the really young crowd to support her. It was fantastic."
We will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts, and in the public square. And we will also wage it in quieter ways, in how we live our lives, by treating one another with kindness and respect, by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbour, by always using our strength to lift people up, to fight for the dignity that all people deserve,
To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much. To President Biden and Dr Biden, thank you for your faith and support. To Governor Walz and the Walz family, I know your service to our nation will continue. And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves, to the poll workers and the local election officials. I thank you all,
You can't really run away from the president who chooses you,
We're going to keep our promises,
