“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this,” he added.
One funny thing to note is that, outside of just overt racism, all the arguments to use against Harris (that were used in the last election and primarily from the left) are ones that…won’t exactly make her seem bad to conservatives. Like, are you really going to use a “she’s tough on crime” argument against her?
Republican voters are never going to change their preference to a democratic candidate based on who the Democratic candidate is. The people who have potential to vote for Democrats aren’t undecided in who they prefer, they’re undecided if they even care enough to vote at all. Getting more people motivated to vote who didn’t vote in the prior election is the only way to gain votes. That’s true for any Democratic or Republican candidate for president. Presidential candidates need to make sure that people who voted in the last election for their party’s candidate don’t become disinterested in voting in the current election.
The tough on crime reputation Harris has may demotivate otherwise likely voters for a Democratic candidate.
