Chelsea Clinton Rallies Support for Kamala Harris Ahead of 2024 Election

Chelsea Clinton participated in a “Women for Harris” Zoom call on Monday night, aiming to galvanize voters and raise funds for Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 election approaches. Clinton expressed her belief that Harris is “uniquely positioned” to hold former President Donald Trump accountable for the threats he poses to the nation. She emphasized the significance of Harris's candidacy, stating that she is poised to break through the metaphorical glass ceiling, following in the footsteps of trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm and her mother, Hillary Clinton. The event is part of a broader effort by various voting blocs to organize virtual gatherings to support Harris. Following President Joe Biden's endorsement of Harris as the Democratic nominee, enthusiasm within the party has surged. Recent Zoom events have attracted thousands of participants, with notable fundraising success. For instance, the “Win With Black Women” event on July 21 drew 44,000 attendees and raised over $1.5 million, while a subsequent call for Black men garnered nearly 54,000 participants and raised $1.3 million. In a related discussion, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler criticized Republican Senator J.D. Vance's remarks about women, framing the upcoming election as a choice between progress and regression. Shuler condemned the derogatory language used against women supporting Harris, asserting that such comments reflect the fear of Republicans as they face a united front from women voters. The momentum for Harris continues to build as the election season heats up.
