Vice President Kamala Harris released her first campaign ad on Wednesday, and the reaction to it has been extremely positive, leading to millions of views on social media.
The ad begins with Harris telling viewers, “In this election, we each face a question. What kind of country do we want to live in?”
There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos. Of fear. Of hate.
But us. We choose something different.
We choose freedom.
The freedom not just to get by, but get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body.
We choose a future where no child lives in poverty. Where we all can afford health care, where no one is above the law.
We believe in the promise of America and we are ready to fight for it.
Because when we fight, we win. So join us.

Convicted felon and 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is running scared, and he’s letting the entire world know that he’s absolutely terrified of facing Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
HuffPost reports that Trump was ranting and raving at a campaign rally he held Wednesday in North Carolina.
Trump claimed that President Joe Biden is trying to put him in jail and “she’s the one behind it” along with “radical left judges.”
“So think of it: They get me to that position, and then their campaign says ‘I’m the prosecutor and he is the convicted felon.’ That’s their campaign,” Trump said. “I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

If it’s not going to work as Trump suggests, then why reiterate it and give it more life? Seems like the smarter strategy would be to go after your opponent with facts, but Donnie has never been a fan of truth or reality. They tend to get in the way of his paranoid delusions and endless conspiracy theories.
Within a few hours of Trump’s comments, the Harris campaign had already taken the quote and turned it against the disgraced former president.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is sick and tired of convicted felon and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s verbal barbs aimed at his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, and he’s clapping back hard at the disgraced ex-president.
Specifically, Trump has been calling Harris “Lyin’ Kamala,” and said she’s “dumb as a rock.” He has also slammed her as as “totally failed and insignificant vice president.”
That led Emhoff to take off the gloves, telling reporters, “That’s all he’s got?”
“You heard the vice president yesterday making the case against Donald Trump very clearly,” Emhoff added, pointing to a speech she made at her Wilmington, Delaware, campaign headquarters Monday. “Laid out the case, directly and in a compelling fashion. But she also laid out a vision for the future, a vision where there’s freedom, where we’re not having to talk about these issues of today in this post-Dobbs hellscape that Donald Trump created.”
Emhoff also made it clear that his wife will win decisively over Trump when the votes are counted in November.
“She’s talking about an America that we all have a place in. … She’s gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she’s gonna win this election.”
Donald Trump is terrified of Kamala Harris. It’s just that simple. And he damn well should be, because he knows she’s more than capable of making him look like the biggest crook to ever seek elected office. He’s a fraud and liar who gets his kicks by sexually assaulting women.
Disgraced former president Donald Trump is absolutely terrified of facing Kamala Harris as his opponent in the November election, but it’s not because she’s a strong black woman, according to Amanda Marcotte of Salon.
Instead, Trump knows that as a former prosecutor, Harris can hone in on his biggest political liability: His history of sexually assaulting women.
“Trump enjoys committing pretty much every type of crime, from siccing a murderous mob after his former vice president to epic levels of business fraud, so there’s a cornucopia of options for Harris to choose from,” Marcotte explains. “But a Harris ad from the 2020 campaign went viral online for one simple reason: It forefronts his long history of sexually assaulting women.”
The ad in question contained this tagline: “She prosecuted sex predators; he is one.” And that was similar to something Harris said Monday during a campaign appearance in Delaware.
“I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. Hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type.”
I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
Harris is also likely to remind voters of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about how he likes to kiss women against their will and “grab ’em by the pussy.”
“It’s not just Trump anymore. The entire GOP has leaned hard into toxic masculinity and often overt misogyny. The Republican National Convention was a grotesque display of both. The convention stage was a traffic jam of men who had been violent towards women or made excuses for violence starting with the nominee himself. Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, who praised Trump as being a master of the ‘tough guy business,’ had previously been filmed slapping his wife,” Marcotte notes.
Ironically, Trump has played up how he treats women as a way to solidify his support among male voters, Marcotte continues.
“Having a candidate who can talk about this without squirming or tripping over words is especially important in a race where abortion is a central issue. Ten states have passed abortion bans that have no exceptions for rape victims. The news is still peppered with stories of underage rape victims being forced to travel out of state or worse, give birth to a rapist’s child. The Republican vice presidential nominee wants a national standard of forced childbirth for rape victims. Having a candidate who can speak about the horrors of this in an experienced and concise manner may matter a lot.”
As a former sex crimes prosecutor, Harris is uniquely qualified to hit the convicted felon ex-president where it will hurt him the most and drive down his numbers among women and young voters, Marcotte concludes.
“(Harris) “may be in a better position to push this issue than any other potential Democratic nominee could have been.”
Based on what he’s been posting on social media since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, disgraced former president Donald Trump sounds incredibly worried that he’s about to lose in November.
Trump began posting on his Truth Social site Sunday after Biden made his announcement. He sounded angry and worried.
Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid? No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27th, the night of The Debate, where he was completely obliterated. That was the big moment in Joe Biden’s demise. That was the point in time when Joe was revealed for what he is, an…

So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his…

He was back at it this morning.
It’s a new day and Joe Biden doesn’t remember quitting the race yesterday! He is demanding his campaign schedule and arranging talks with Presidents Xi of China, and Putin of Russia, concerning the possible start of World War 3. Biden is “sharp, decisive, energetic, angry, and…

Reaction to Trump’s postings was cutting and hilarious.
Has Donald Trump read the news? Is he aware that President Biden is no longer his rival?

Strangely enough I am not on ‘Truth Social’, but it would seem that since Biden’s announcement, elderly convicted felon and sex offender Donald Trump is doing something known in legal circles as ‘sh*tting his pants’, with tremendous dignity. pic.twitter.com/sMlYsbuB3N
