Kamala Harris is in danger: someone wants a “Blitz primary”, but Soros is with her

“I’ll beat Trump,” said Kamala Harris, but 53 percent of Democratic voters are far from convinced. Kamala Harris, as of a few hours ago, is the “in pectore” candidate of the U.S. Democratic Party after Joe Biden’s resounding (in timing, not in content) withdrawal from the race in the U.S. Presidential Election 2024, but her conviction that she can beat the Republican nominee is shattered by so many uncertain issues that lodge in the near future. After hearing from more than 100 “anti-GOP” party leaders and summits for nearly 10 hours, Kamala Harris will have to tally up her backers and supporters ahead of the late July Dem convention that is expected to crown her the new White House candidate.

The conditional is a must since Biden’s withdrawal after a very long pressing from many souls in the party has led to “forced” support for the vice president, who does not seem to enjoy full confidence from the party, or at least from the entire united front in Congress: “If you are with us, donate to her campaign here,” so the outgoing president relaunched the link for donations to the new candidate “in pectore.” To date, as the Financial Times and Startmag point out, Kamala Harris’s certain backers are Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, intent on beating Trump by any means and expense. “He plans to donate even more to support Harris’ candidacy than he did when he supported Biden over Trump,” reports CNBC, with sources close to Hoffman.

Who has already decided to support Kamala Harris and who wants a primary? The “Obama Factor” panics the Democrats.

Also with Kamala Harris is Brad Karp of the Paul Weiss law firm, but above all, “liberal” tycoon George Soros, with his son Alex announcing just hours after Biden withdrew: “It’s time we all unite around Kamala Harris and defeat Donald Trump. She is the best and most qualified candidate we have. Long live the American dream,” tweeted the Hungarian-born entrepreneur’s son. Within hours, total fundraising for Kamala Harris stood at $46.7 million, thanks in part to the direct intervention of Rogert Altman, founder of Evercore bank, and Broadway in New York producer Mark Cortale.

From donors to those who will actually support her politically within the Democratic Party, the step is short but far from “easy.” Biden, in his initial White House statement, “forgot” to signal his support for the vice president, correcting shortly thereafter with a tweet on X where he also points out the link for donations.

With Kamala are the Clinton family and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but missing from the roll call at the moment is the most influential and talked-about name of recent times: Barack Obama officially did not give his endorsement to Kamala Harris, instead reviving the hypothesis of “blitz” primaries at the Dem convention to choose the most suitable candidate to oppose Donald Trump. “I have extraordinary confidence,” the former president wrote, “that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding candidate will emerge. Beyond what strategy the “Obama clan” has in mind for the Dem candidate (still from the U.S., they deny the hypothesis of his wife Michelle as a new name in extremis for the White House), the failure to endorse Kamala Harris shines a non-existent compactness among the Dems for the immediate fates of the campaign. And the electorate, which is coming from weeks of chaos over Biden’s condition and the internal party clash, cannot have failed to notice…
