It is starting to feel an awful lot like Christmas for the Harris/Walz Campaign.
Over the last 48 hours, the Campaign has received major endorsements from Liz Cheney, Goldman-Sachs, and the renowned predictor of Presidential Elections, historian Alan Lichtman.
Earlier, Jimmy McCain, son of the late Senator and 2008 Presidential Nominee, endorsed the Harris/Walz Ticket.
Cheney announced her support at Duke University yesterday.
In her comments, she said:
“Because we are here in North Carolina, it is crucial to recognize not only what I said about the danger Trump poses something that should prevent people from voting for him. But I don’t believe we have the luxury of writing in candidates names, particularly in swing states. As a conservative. As someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs has endorsed the Harris/Walz and Democratic economic plans, saying theirs would contribute to larger growth for the economy over Mr. Trump’s one that would impose price busting tariffs on consumers.
Finally, it is here.
Historian Alan Lichtman has unveiled his prediction for who will win the 2024 Presidential election based on his 13 keys.
He sees, largely based on the economy, no internal squabble among Democrats following the Biden withdrawal, no major third party challenge, and Mr. Trump’s catering to his MAGA base, a Harris Victory this November.

While these are all positive developments for the Harris/Walz ticket and the trend lines are pointing North for them and Democrats in just over 60 days, it is important to avoid complacency.
The Vice President is right when she tells her supporters that they are the underdogs and not leave anything to chance.

As one of my favorite pundits often says, I would rather be us than them, but polls and pronostications, no matter how foundationally sound or accurate in the past, are not votes. We have to do the work to get our people to cast the votes that will make it official. We have a lot of work to get done in the next 80-some days! Don’t rest until Trump is in his political grave with the precautions appropriate for a political vampire who sucked the GOP dry and turned it into his undead creature!
I’ve only voted for someone I actually thought was the best person one time and that was Bernie in the 2016 primary.
Most of us vote the lesser of two evils, or in the case of convicted rapist and felon Don-Old J Trump, we run defense.
I am fired up to vote for Harris, same with my wife, same with my daughter and her husband.
They were not thrilled to be voting for Biden and were talking about sitting this round out!
Anecdotal I know, but I’ve spoken to some MAGA family members who are saying they’re sick of the sideshow and may sit this one out.
Let’s win this one and start running as progressives again, open some windows and clear out the stench of neoliberalism, push for FDR’s Second Bill of Rights and then have a good laugh watching the GQP defend their stance against that. 🙂
