Opinion: Kamala Harris Must Be the Candidate. This Is How She Beats Trump
It is time for the Democratic Party and the people of the United States to unite in support of Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States.
There are few challenges greater than running for president of the United States. But for the Vice President, those challenges will be compounded by the fact that her situation is unprecedented. Yet, it is vital to recognize that the alternatives to Harris’ smooth selection as nominee of the Democratic Party and her election as president of the United States are disaster for the country and the likely end of democracy in America as we have known it.
President Biden’s decision not to run, announced in a letter released at midday on Sunday, was an act of grace and courage the likes of which we have not seen from an American political leader in recent memory. Asserting “it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden provided a capstone to what will be seen by history as a remarkable presidency.
