Kamala Harris reassures Democratic Party donors that there's nothing to worry about
Vice President Kamala Harris briefly spoke with approximately 200 top Democratic donors on Friday via video call, hoping to assuage their concerns about the future of the administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris held a brief conference yesterday with key Democratic Party donors to express her support for President Biden's campaign. Addressing around 300 major donors via video, Harris reassured them there was no cause for concern about the Biden campaign amid recent media scrutiny. "I want to share something that I truly believe. This is something I feel strongly you should carry with you and share with others," Harris stated, as reported by multiple sources. "We are going to win this election. We will prevail."
Highlighting Biden's commitment to the American people, she said, "The candidate who prioritizes the needs of the American people is our President, Joe Biden." During her five-minute speech, Harris praised the Biden administration while sharply criticizing the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention. "Let me be clear: Trump's convention this week was nothing more than a distraction. He aims to divert attention from his record and the so-called Project 2025 plan. It’s astonishing they even documented it; it’s further evidence that the stakes of this election could not be higher."
The call aimed to alleviate concerns among party donors regarding potential backlash against Biden within the party that could jeopardize his campaign. However, Harris did not take any questions following her brief address, leaving some questioning the effectiveness of the communication. This meeting coincided with statements from nearly a dozen Democratic lawmakers who expressed their preference for Biden to step down from the race.
Despite internal dissent, Biden has maintained a firm stance that he intends to run against Trump as the Democratic nominee in November. "The president is committed to this race," emphasized Campaign Chair Jen O'Malley Dillon during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday. "He has reiterated this time and again."
