What Happened to Kamala's Campaign?
Aimee Allison, founder and president of She the People, a national network aimed at empowering women of color as voters and candidates, and Gabriel Debenedetti, National Correspondent for New York Magazine, discuss the unraveling Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Plus, your calls: if you were a Harris supporter, who are you supporting now?
Kamala's campaign ended for the same reasons that Beto's campaign ended: it's not enough to be cool and likable. You must have a clear point of view and stick with it. Sadly, I don't feel she brought that.
— Jen Daniele (@jen_daniele) December 5, 2019@BrianLehrer I was all in with @KamalaHarris because her #forthepeople message resonated -- she wasn't talking middle-class this or that, but everyone. And she reflects real America. Now I'm adamantly supporting @JulianCastro for the same reason. #nomorewhitemalepresidents
