Kamala Harris mortgages nomination, endorsement also from Nancy Pelosi. Raised $81 million in 24 hours

Kamala Harris seems to have already mortgaged the nomination for the White House, most likely avoiding even a mini primary. In fact, all her main potential challengers have already given her their endorsement, including the governors of California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kentucky. Harris also has the support of Biden and the Clintons. What is missing is the public one from the Obamas and the congressional Dem leaders (expected to arrive today, according to CNN).

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also supports Kamala Harris. This was stated in a note. "It is with immense pride and optimism that I endorse Kamala Harris for president," Pelosi stated.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer will serve as co-chair of the campaign of Kamala Harris, to whom she has already given her endorsement by dropping off the list of potential challengers. She announced this herself on X.

Another donation boom for Kamala Harris: in 24 hours, after Joe Biden withdrew from the race for the White House, $81 million was raised for the vice-president's campaign. This was reported by the campaign team itself.

Democratic Party lawyers have already started checking the names of possible vice presidential candidates, examining their personal histories, finances, and family history. According to CNN reports, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly are among the names already contacted to submit the requested information.

This is reported by Nbcnews, citing a Harris aide who explains that it would be inappropriate for the Democrat to speak here about her candidacy, since she is attending the event in her capacity as vice president. Harris will talk later, they assure from her entourage, about her candidacy, how she intends to go about it and beat Donald Trump. And he is preparing a meeting with campaign staff.

Abigail Disney, a member of the film empire's founding family and a major donor to the Democratic party, told Cnbc that she will start funding the Democrats again now that US President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the campaign and expressed support for his deputy, Kamala Harris. Abigail is the granddaughter of Disney co-founder Roy Disney and, after the debate between Biden and Republican Donald Trump, had said she would no longer contribute funds to the party if Biden remained the Democratic nominee. Disney later said he thought Harris could be a great candidate for the party.

On the opposing side, independent White House candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussed with Donald Trump possible support for his campaign and an entry of the no-Vax activist into a second Trump administration, with a health care-related post. This is what the Washington Post reveals, citing four informed sources who explain that the two spoke immediately after Trump's assassination attempt on 13 July, thus discussing the possible end of the independent's run for the White House in exchange for an appointment without Senate ratification. However, an agreement would not be reached due to concerns from Trump's team about the promise of an appointment in exchange for political endorsement. Asked by the Post, Kennedy Jr responded, "All I can say is that I'm willing to talk to anyone, of any party, who is willing to discuss children's health and how to end the chronic epidemic." "I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me," he added, "none of the Democrats have reached out to me in 18 months, instead they spent millions against my campaign. In fact, part of the interview had been posted on social media by Kennedy Jr's son, particularly the part where Trump seemed to agree that vaccines were supposedly dangerous for children. But then the video had been deleted and Kennedy jr had apologised to Trump.
