Former Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) is distancing herself from an endorsement by former Vice President Kamala Harris as she looks to flip a Senate seat in Alaska, according to a Friday New York Times report.
She’s just trying to frame herself as a defacto party leader endorsing and fundraising (for whatever these emails are actually worth) for anyone who’s been nominated. She endorsed el-Sayed and he had massive opposition spending from the establishment.
Everyone should.
Harris’ only advantage is name recognition, to keep that fresh she’ll keep “endorsing” literally everyone, just to keep her name in the headlines.
The only way she’ll stop, is if candidates start publicly rejecting her.
I understand candidates just wanting to ignore her, but we need politicians willing to see they don’t want her support.
Kamala endorsing you implies you’re pro-corp, pro-establishment, pro-cops.
I don’t want more of the same.
Kamala endorsing anyone just means Kamala thinks it will help her.
She could endorse you, that wouldn’t change anything about you.
Right, but your first sentence is why I’ll publicly reject her endorsement.
