And I confess myself very surprised.

Kamala Harris' fundraising reaches a record-breaking $100 million since Biden's exit

I thought the way she introduced Project 2025 with a bit of derisory humour hit hard and I hope she continues to press that point And highlight just how fucked up it is.

I hope we're going to see Vance get dumped, here with the popcorn!

Harris's line about we're not going back is a good one, she's made a strong start.

I saw Anthony Scaramucci on a podcast saying that Trump hated Vances speech. 'he hates smart people'. He'll want to sack him at the first sign of trouble, but there's no mechanism for it.

Some Republicans are already questioning the merit of Vance. He was a terrible pick.

If the was Trump/moderate VP running against Biden/Harris - trump would 100% win.

But Trump/Vance against Harris/any of the top 3VP candidates- then I can see it slipping from Trump

Some republicans are already privately voicing their concerns about Vance. Vance is Trumps downfall even if he makes it to the Whitehouse

I've seen rumours that Trump is already looking to remove him (not even sure if that's possible at this point), I would pay good money to watch that relationship fall apart publicly.

I think Vance came with a dowry, essentially, and Trump is all about the money.

Exciting times!

Very excited - Trump has not made a good VP pick, Vance's cat lady jibe looks like a loser to me. Her first speech in Wisconsin was v good.

Doesn’t matter about the money or the polls. Right now dem voters experiencing some sort of collective high but they need to get real.

The first test is the debate. Kamala has a tendency to waffle banalities and comes across as nervous at times.

The focus needs to be on the prep for the debate, as we seen how the debate changed everything for Biden. It too can for Kamala.

Absolutely agree they need to prep. Hopefully it does change things for Kamala and proves she can indeed hold her own against the orange idiot.

I'd pay if I was in the US and thought it would help de-Trump the country.

twodowntwotogo · 24/07/2024 09:03

Why are you surprised? It's almost 900,000 individual pledges so not just big corporate donors. I'm so pleased.

KeepinOn · 24/07/2024 07:59

Donation funds don't equal a win. We'll see what happens.

Moonshiners · 24/07/2024 07:54

Thank god. Some sanity.
I keep hoping he has a non life threatening, temporarily debilitating illness that means he can't speak or type for 4 months. The racist, sexist drivel he comes out with is awful

MouseofCommons · 24/07/2024 07:52

Good. She's already got Trump worried.

Alexandra2001 · 24/07/2024 07:49

Good, the US now has a real choice.... i'm really hoping she can win.

KewBridgeSteamMuseum · 24/07/2024 07:48

The donors went on strike after the debate. Now they're giving the money they were going to give a couple of weeks ago.

Shitandrun · 24/07/2024 07:44

That's hopeful. I don't think the world could take another 4 years of the orange tycoon.

Willmafrockfit · 24/07/2024 07:42

crazy system

Igotjelly · 24/07/2024 07:36

Why are you surprised? The money is from traditional Democratic donors who were withholding it because they were unhappy with Biden being the candidate. That issue has now been resolved so the taps have reopened.

Zonder · 24/07/2024 07:34

Why are you surprised? People putting their money where their mouth is. Trump is more popular amongst the poorer folk as he makes his empty promises.
