Why a Vice President Kamala Harris Is Good News for California



Goodbye, state of resistance. Hello, state of influence.

California’s status has shifted dramatically with the election of Joe Biden as the next president. The reasons are both political — deep blue California will have more inroads to a White House controlled by Democrats — and personal: For just the second time in American history, a Californian will serve as vice president.

“With Kamala Harris as vice president, we won’t have to feel like we’re walking on landmines all the time, because we know she’s not looking for ways to harm California,” said Daniel Zingale, Newsom’s strategy and communications director until retiring early this year.

“Quite the opposite — she is going to take the interests of our nearly 40 million people to heart.” - Times of San Diego


To me, this is the most exciting news of the day, not 'Trump said, Trump says, Trump tweets.' *Ignore button* What's exciting and encouraging is the realization that we will soon be past the days of extortion politics and that blue states will be nurtured rather than vilified.

Down with the GOP!
