Van Jones on Kamala Harris

As Kamala Harris officially enters the 2024 presidential race, she faces significant skepticism from some sectors of the electorate, particularly among Black men. CNN host Van Jones reported that over 20,000 Black men pledged to protect Harris from disrespectful attacks reminiscent of those faced by Hillary Clinton. In contrast, a faction within the Republican Party is attempting to undermine her candidacy by framing her as a 'DEI hire,' while others express concerns about her record as a prosecutor. Prominent voices on social media highlight a division among Black male voters, some of whom are disillusioned with her past actions and may choose not to support her. Meanwhile, President Biden endorsed Harris, urging Democrats to unite in the upcoming election. Thus, Harris's candidacy is marked by both strong support from some community leaders and notable opposition from others.
