Does VP Kamala Harris put the Democrats in a better position to beat former President Donald Trump in November?
I believe the vice president puts us in a much better position. You can feel the electricity in the air. I feel invigorated. I have already contributed to her campaign. She has some fantastic options for her running mate.
Does Trump have enough political strength to overcome the absence of his main target: Biden?
Trump really thought he had this in the bag, as evidenced by his VP pick of my terrible senator, J.D. Vance. I believe the Republicans are freaking out. In the end, the arguments they are using against Harris are ridiculous. I don’t know if we will win, but at least we have a fighting chance.
Who is better on Israel/Gaza, Harris or Trump?
Kamala, of course. Trump is a vehicle for the ultra right in Israel. They don’t want peace!
