How Kamala Harris Is Creating a New Majoritarian Center

Economic policies that are both broadly popular and broadly beneficial are defining a new center. It’s Harris’s neoliberal critics who are extreme.

Harris slams 'incredibly irresponsible' Trump over Hurricane Helene misinformation

Vice President Kamala Harris is calling former President Donald Trump “incredibly irresponsible” for spreading falsehoods about the federal response to Hurricane Helene’s destruction. Harris on Monday offered especially sharp words as a new storm bears down on Florida with just weeks until Election Day. She said, “There’s a lot of mis- and disinformation being pushed out there by the former president." Trump has made false claims since Helene, including saying the federal government is intentionally withholding aid to Republican disaster victims. He also falsely claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had run out of money because all of it had gone to programs for immigrants in the country illegally.

No, 2020 #votes didn’t determine #disasterrelief #delivery in #NorthCarolina #counties.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor, #RoyCooper, requested a #federal major #disaster #declaration on Sept. 27 and #President #JoeBiden #approved it the next day. "Twenty-five counties were included in the #declaration, regardless of how they voted in the 2020 presidential election."

Election 2024: What polling shows about Black voters’ views of Harris, Trump

Black registered voters have an overwhelmingly positive view of Vice President Kamala Harris. That's according to a recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About 7 in 10 Black voters have a somewhat or very favorable view of Harris, with few differences between Black men and women voters on how they view the Democratic candidate. Black voters’ opinions of former President Donald Trump, by contrast, were overwhelmingly negative, underscoring the challenges he faces as he seeks to erode Harris’ support among Black men. But the poll also found that despite this dramatic gap in views, many Black voters don’t see Harris as a candidate who will set the country on a better trajectory or make a substantial difference in their own lives.

AP News

— “but they’re less sure she would change the country for the better?”

Seriously?! In contrast to #Republican #WannabeDictator #DonaldTrump, who openly aligns with #whitesupremacist beliefs, this statement is absolutely absurd.

The choice for Black Americans between Vice president Kamala Harris, who represents progress, and Trump, who's a convicted felon and aligned with dangerous extremist ideologies, should be crystal clear to everyone.
