Although she wasn't my first choice candidate, for a bit of time I thought she was in a position to move up in the race when some of the front runners showed cracks in their armor. Instead she stalled and got stuck. I think a combination of factors have knocked Kamala out of the race. One of those factors, unfortunately, involved Kamala as the target of a scurrilous smear campaign that was aimed at Black voters and non-voters.

I was beginning to re-assess my interest in Kamala, too. In theory, I was toying with the "who would I support if Warren were to tank?" scenario. My second choice, considering the field, was shaping up to be Harris.

Now? Lol. I'm beginning a long, eternal eye roll at who is leftover to consider as my second choice. I will vote for whoever the Democrats put up for a nominee, though. That's a fact.
