‘Devout’ catholic Joe Biden stepped out of the 2024-28 race today. This means that Kamala Harris could be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States: POTUS.
This is a problem for the Democrats because she is scoring even worse than Biden in the opinion polls! Another issue is that Biden and Harris share ‘the ticket’…so have joint fundraising. That means that if Harris is not the candidate, all donated funds must be returned! All US$240,000,000!
Biden looks like he is staying on as the president. If he dies or is removed or resigns the Presidency before 20 Jan 2025, Harris will automatically become president.
(Third in-line is Republican Mike Johnson, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.)
Kamala’s position on issues relevant to many Catholics:
ABORTION: Kamala supports abortion up to birth, for any reason. (Curiously she attends a church in the American Baptist Congregation, which opposes abortion.)
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: She supports reverse discrimination through Affirmative Action.
D.E.I.: Many suggest that Kamala was selected as VP as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion choice [DEI]. Lefties claim that saying so is racist — they must not have listened to one of her inane speeches!
Kamala herself supports the principle of DEI: “In spite of those who in certain parts of our country want to attack DEI, we understand that you can’t truly invest in the strength of our nation if you don’t pay attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: She opposed Capital Punishment.
GUN CONTROL: She supports gun control.
IMMIGRATION: Under Biden she was tasked with the Southern Border in 2021 and has done nothing to restrict the numbers of illegal entries into the US. She supports San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy. There are many adverse outcomes with unlimited migration.
LGBT RIGHTS: She co-sponsored the Equality Act.
She supports Transgendered using the bathroom of their choice.
SEX WORK: Since 2019, she supports the decriminalization of Sex Work.
VOTING: She pushed for universal mail-in absentee voting.
DRUGS: When she was District Attorney, her department obtained 1,900 Marijuana convictions. (She has since worked for legalization of the drug.)
TRUANCY: Harris has argued for treating "habitual and chronic truancy" among children in elementary school as a crime committed by the parents of truant children. (Note: at ELEMENTARY level.)
CLIMATE CHANGE: Kamala supports Net Zero.
ASSISTED SUICIDE: [I could not find her position on AS or Voluntary Euthanasia.]
So, Kamala Harris or Catholic J.D. Vance as Vice President of the US?
Vance may not be perfect, but I know which I would choose!
