[SamAndreas]

Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

And Trump et al continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

another shot fired. at this rate, he will just have nubs for feet by mid August.

That's where the ground operation comes in, and didn't the campaign get a huge increase in volunteers once the transition happened?

Even without that, I think the energy is very real. That age group has ONLY known Trump or Biden (except the older ones maybe experienced the tail end of Obama) during the years they were able to vote. Harris is relatively young, she's fresh, she's energetic, she speaks their language, and she talks about optimism, freedom and the future. Her motto is literally, "We're not going back." They may be very motivated to turn out.

I think the constant use of weird by everyone is a bit childish but you can’t deny it’s having an impact

This is the game the GOP started since Trump came down that escalator in June 2015.
Trump and the republicans can’t get mad now.
Especially since it’s such a minor insult.

Notice not one word about being glad the hostages are free? Can’t even pretend to be anything but pissed off about it. And he lied, of course, he did several prisoner swaps and released plenty of terrorists.

He doesn’t say that because he thinks his supporters don’t care either. Whenever SFL comes back, he/she won’t prove me wrong. In fact, you can bet he/she will talk about how we “gave up too much” or whatever the current talking point is.

Trump won’t be fact checked. Trump won’t debate Harris. Trump says stop watching Fox because they report facts he doesn’t like. Not normal

By 9am on Monday, hundreds of worshipers who had gathered under a tent in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, were already on their feet. Praiseful music bumped from enormous speakers. The temperature was pushing 90F.

The congregants had gathered in north-western Wisconsin for the Courage Tour, a travelling tent revival featuring a lineup of charismatic preachers and self-styled prophets promising healing, and delivering a political message: register to vote. Watch, or work, the polls. And help deliver the 2024 election to Donald Trump.

Serving as a voter registration drive and hub for recruiting poll workers, it was no mistake that the Courage Tour came to Wisconsin just three months ahead of the presidential election in November. The tour had already visited three other swing states: Georgia, Michigan and Arizona.


Heavy-hitting Maga organizations – including America First Policy Institute, TPUSA Faith and America First Works – had a presence outside the tent. Inside, headlining the event was Lance Wallnau, a prominent figure in the New Apostolic Reformation – a movement on the right that embraces modern-day apostles, aims to establish Christian dominion over society and politics and has grown in influence since Trump was elected president in 2016.……

According to the pastors who sermonized on Monday, the correct biblical worldview is a deeply conservative one. The speakers repeatedly stated their opposition to abortion and LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, ideas that were elaborated on in pamphlets passed around the crowd and on three large screens facing the audience. (“Tolerance IS NOT A commandment,” read one poster, propped up in front of the pro-Trump Turning Point USA stall outside the tent).……

Black grassroots organizers who played a critical role in mobilizing voters in the last presidential election say they are seeing an uptick in interest in their groups and a jolt of energy after Kamala Harristook Joe Biden’s place at the top of the Democratic ticket.

“I hear nothing but enthusiasm,” said Helen Butler, a longtime voting rights organizer who runs the nonpartisan Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda. “More people are calling to volunteer. The young people are saying, ‘What can we do?’ All of our activities are nonpartisan. So we’re training them to just talk about civic engagement and why public policy matters.”

The observations from organizers come as the Harris campaign has intensified its momentum in the race. It solidified the support of the Democratic party, earned enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee and has seen colossal fundraising numbers.

Harris’s campaign says it has raised more than $100m, including a staggering $81m in the first 24 hours after Joe Biden left the race. That total was accrued from more than 500,000 grassroots donors who gave for the first time in the 2024 cycle, the campaign said.


Grassroots groups played a critical role in 2020, mobilizing nonwhite voters – who tend to support Democrats – at record levels. Overall, turnout in the 2020 election was at its highest since 1900.

Initial polls show Harris in a neck-and-neck race with Donald Trump, but there are indications of significant shifts in the race. A CNN poll released last week found that 50% of Harris backers said their support of her was more pro-Harris than anti-Trump.

In a June CNN poll, just 37% of Biden’s supporters said their support was about backing the president rather than being against Trump.……

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris ' campaign announced Friday that it raised $310 million last month, an eyepopping sum showing that donors who once seemed spooked about the prospects for November’s election with President Joe Biden are now offering mountains of cash to boost his former No. 2.

The haul by Harris, the Democratic National Committee and affiliated entities far outpaced Republican former President Donald Trump, whose campaign and assorted committees said they took in $138.7 million for July.

The vice president’s campaign also says it entered August with $377 million in cash on hand, which it described as the most for any presidential candidate at this point in the cycle. It was also well above the $327 million Trump’s team announced having to start the month.…..

Doesn't this violate tax exempt status? I thought churches couldn't promote a specific candidate or even a political party and maintain tax exempt status.

I believe it does @DaveXA would know better but churches have been doing it for quite awhile. I think even preaching about politics is a no no

I think no one wants to be the one to remove a church's tax exempt status and deal with that outrage and backlash

One wonders how many were wearing clothing made of different fibers. Leviticus 19:19.

Of course, they pick and choose which of “God’s Laws” they wish to follow.

As for tolerance? Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not judge that ye be not judged.
