Those polls are meaningless given she has said she will not be standing Harris just responded to President Biden's statement - praises him greatly - honoured to have his endorsement - she is seeking the nomination Very alarming take. Trump will bring war with Iran. If Kamala is the nominee and she loses, we will know he may be correct.

.. It's not a 'standard' it's my opinion.
In the first hour since President Biden dropped out, Kamala Harris has raised over $5 million A bit bizarre (and a sign of the times I suppose) that this was initially announced, not via press conference or other means, but via a twitter post!
