37. The GOP hate against her will strengthen resolve on our side to support her

Tue Jul 23, 2024, 09:25 AM

Jul 2024

Van Jones made some important points about how Trump's inroads with black and brown men might shift back towards us as they don't like racist attacks on a black/brown woman. And many woman are disappointed at what happened with Hillary Clinton.

So we can win with an Obama-style coalition of broad support and excited voters. Kamala is already breaking fundraising records and dominating news headlines.

We can win if we work for it. This is a great time to register new voters and encourage turnout.
