Keeping up with Kamala

Interesting. They sound like some Never Trumpers.
A coalition of former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley voters pledged their support for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid on Sunday, hours after President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the race.

The GOP is trying to brand Harris as a failed border czar. The Dem response needs to point out that Trump killed the bipartisan border deal....remember this?

"First week" figures:
Kamala Harris brings in $200 million in first week of her candidacy
The fundraising haul was powered by first-time donors amid support from young voters.Of course, fundraising performance does not guarantee victory. (Remember Jeb Bush?)

“Harris tries to flip the script on Trump on the border during raucous Georgia speech”
Here’s the problem right here. Tries? TRIES? Jeez!
She didn't try, she did it! NPR used to be better than this.
NPR is dead to me.

Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign says it raised more than $310 million in July, driven by a record-breaking $200 million in the first week after she replaced President Biden as the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
Last month’s totals include a number of shattered fundraising records, the campaign says, including the fastest time to raise a billion dollars and the weeklong outpouring of donations after a struggling Biden said he would no longer run for president.
“The tremendous outpouring of support we’ve seen in just a short time makes clear the Harris coalition is mobilized, growing, and ready to put in the work to defeat Trump this November,” Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Harris for President campaign manager, said in a statement. “It is the product of a campaign and coalition that knows the hard work and fighting spirit needed to win in November – and when we fight, we win.”
Two-thirds of the donations made last month came from first-time donors, according to the Harris campaign.

It didn’t take long for former President Donald Trump to return to his well-worn playbook of resorting to attacks based on race and gender — familiar tactics he has used against political rivals, including in his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton.
But it’s not 2016 anymore, and Democrats assert that the lessons learned from Trump’s campaign eight years ago guide their strategy now: Respond aggressively, use his attacks to bolster the campaign’s message and don’t let them distract from the issues.
