MSNBC Host: Harris Had Best Start of ‘Any Presidential Candidate’ in History
Kamala Harris’ first 48 hours as a U.S. presidential candidate were better than the first two days any other candidate has ever seen, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell claimed Monday.
“Kamala Harris has had the single best first day of any presidential candidate in history,” O’Donnell said. “And that was yesterday. She also just had the best second day in history of any presidential candidate.”
The vice president certainly got off to a strong start. President Joe Biden gave Harris his endorsement Sunday shortly after announcing his own withdrawal from the race, prompting a deluge of other endorsements from senior party figures. Many potential rivals for the Democratic nomination also followed suit, simultaneously boosting Harris’ support and whittling her competition.
