Commentary By Arthur Piccolo
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. July 24, 2024: Even though it is likely if the Joe Biden decline “cover-up” of silence had not taken place and President Biden had announced, as he clearly should have before 2024, that he would not run for re-election, Kamala Harris may not have emerged as the victor in a competitive primary race. The fact is Vice President Kamala Harris now has a clear path to the Presidency of the United States. Kamala Harris’ Wisconsin speech was only the kick off as the Harris polls show.

Kamala Harris is now Donald Trump’s worst nightmare, if she effectively executes over the next 100 days. There is one overwhelming 5 letter word that tells us all why: “I AM WOMAN.”
That is Kamala Harris’ magic source. Black or white, it would have been the same and no right wing ‘blm Kamala Harris’ ‘ trolls can stop it. The issue of gender is transformational in a nation that claims to be the leader of the world, but remains one of only a few Western democracies that have never elected a female president or prime minister.
In fact, by now in 2024, there are any number of autocratic nations that have been led by a woman.
The excitement and incredible fund raising of the last few days among Democrats reflect that. Yes is relief Biden did the right thing finally, but as much if not more, that America finally has a woman who can be President very soon.
Trump’s almost guaranteed victory in November up until now was not based on him, his policies or his style – it was all about Joe Biden. Not the economy, not crime, not immigration – it ultimately was about Joe Biden most of all.
Some brand new Harris polls may show the race very close with Harris rather than Biden. But in fact, the clear distinctions between Trump and Harris will increasingly become clearer over the next 100 days – a fat old nasty man vs. a much younger woman, with far better communications skills than Joe Biden.
What will “trump” Trump is our historic opportunity to elect the FIRST female President of the United States. That will attract far more voters than those who will not vote for a woman for President. Yes, all kinds of surprises might change this equation but barring any of them, the only one who can defeat Kamala Harris, is Kamala Harris. If not, it will be President Harris.
