A surge of campaign contributions have headed from Alabama toward Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris , D-Calif., gets a kiss from a supporter during the Alabama Democratic Conference convention at the Renaissance Hotel in Montgomery, Ala., on Saturday, June 8, 2019.
“It really changes my enthusiasm. But also it changes some of the work that I’m excited to do. I’m working alongside other Black women in different organizations,” said Green, who is poet-laureate of Birmingham. She said she has now donated to Harris’ campaign and plans to help mobilize others to vote.
“I think that there was, at least, for me personally, not a lot of excitement about the upcoming election. I was planning on voting. I would have voted for Biden because it would be the responsible thing to do… but it wasn’t something that I was really excited about,” Anderson said.“We know when we organize, mountains move. When we mobilize, nations change.
“It’s invigorating,” Anderson said. “I think that with Kamala running for president and hopefully winning, there is this symbolic new era of politics and what is possible, and even just this representation component of it is really powerful and meaningful to me personally.” Trump appeared to be coasting to victory before Biden dropped out. Now, he has launched attacks on his new rival, blaming Harris for problems of the current administration, including the border crisis and inflation. On Thursday, Trump described Harris as “a lunatic” and a “California socialist.”
