‘A unique relationship:’ How Kamala Harris courts the progressive left | Kamala Harris News

admin0 CommentsNews, World, , , , , , , ,
Washington, DC – Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to the Democratic National Convention next week on the tailwinds of endorsements from major progressive organisations — a nod to the party unity she has inspired. But that marks a shift for Harris, who has not always enjoyed a cosy relationship with the progressive wing of her party. Still, many progressives see Harris’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential race as an opportunity to chart a more leftward course for the White House. “Vice President Kamala Harris has a unique relationship with the progressive movement,” said William Walter, the executive director of Our…

It was only after neighbours who witnessed the attempted break-in assured the staff that the men had left after triggering an alarm that they came out of hiding. Staff members have since avoided the…

We need trucks to do transportation,” said Ribble. “We need a military to take care of us in a dangerous world.” Ribble described the district’s voters as working-class moderates: “Reagan Democrats who loved to…
