Kamala Harris' 2024 Presidential Bid: Unprecedented Support from Black Women, Sororities, and Diverse Communities

In the aftermath of President Joe Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race, a wave of support from various communities has emerged. Black women, in particular, have been quick to rally behind Harris. Jotaka Eaddy, founder of Win With Black Women, immediately began organizing efforts to support Harris after learning of Biden's endorsement.

Black women are the most loyal voting bloc for the Democratic Party and played a crucial role in Biden's victory in 2020 with 90% of their support. Harris has been reaching out to Black women voters through stops at Black sorority conventions and speaking engagements.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the first historically Black Greek letter organization founded in 1908 at Howard University, has a long history of advocating for civil rights and community uplift. Harris is an esteemed member of this sorority's original chapter at Howard University. The National Pan-Hellenic Council, comprised of five historically Black college fraternities and four sororities with over 2.7 million members, has announced a coordinated campaign to focus on voter registration, education, and mobilization in the 2024 election.

South Asian women have also shown their support for Harris through groups like South Asian Women for Harris. Actress Mindy Kaling highlighted issues Harris has advocated for and discussed the transformative potential of her candidacy for Indian American women. Win With Black Men, a group dedicated to reversing the trend of Black men slipping away from the Democratic Party, helped raise $1.3 million on their call for Harris.

White women have also been mobilized through record-breaking Zoom calls that raised nearly $2 million in less than two hours. These efforts demonstrate the diverse and widespread support for Kamala Harris's presidential bid.

    The author makes several statements about the demographics of voters and historical voting patterns without providing any evidence or logical reasoning to support these claims. This can be considered an appeal to tradition fallacy. The author also uses inflammatory language such as 'fix this' and 'we have to mobilize like Black women' when discussing white women voters, which can be seen as an appeal to emotion fallacy.
    • ]A majority of white women have voted for the Republican candidate since the 2000 presidential election[
    • ']But we’re not a monolithic group; our voting patterns are typically divided along lines of religion, education and marital status, and that division makes us not only a crucial voting bloc, but an unpredictable one[.

  • Bias (95%)
    The author Erum Salam demonstrates a clear bias towards encouraging white women to vote for Kamala Harris and against the Republican party. The author uses language that depicts white women as a monolithic group that needs to be 'fixed' and encourages them to 'mobilize like Black women'. The author also implies that white women have been voting against their best interests by supporting Republican candidates, which is a biased assertion.
    • But we’re not a monolithic group; our voting patterns are typically divided along lines of religion, education and marital status, and that division makes us not only a crucial voting bloc, but an unpredictable one – even small shifts in our voting behavior can have significant impacts on election outcomes.

          Kamala Harris drives record fundraising after Biden exit

          OpenSecrets Anna Massoglia Thursday, 25 July 2024 17:22
          • Unique Points
            • Within 36 hours of President Joe Biden’s announcement on July 21 to withdraw from the presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, Harris raised more than $100 million, including $81 million in the first 24 hours.
            • The $100 million cash infusion would more than double the $96 million the Biden-Harris campaign had in cash on hand at the end of June.
            • Harris’s team said the massive haul represents the largest 24-hour total in U.S. history.
            • By the end of Sunday, the Democratic National Committee filed paperwork to rename Biden’s joint fundraising committees with the DNC to use Harris’s name.
            • The Trump campaign filed a Federal Election Commission complaint claiming that rebranding the campaign committee to benefit Harris could violate campaign finance law.
            • Some election law experts say the funds now legally belong to Harris, while others say the issue warrants more consideration.
            • The FEC is unlikely to resolve the issue prior to Election Day.
            • Democrats could still choose a nominee other than Harris to run against Trump, but other possible candidates would need to establish a national campaign and fundraising operation in a matter of weeks to be competitive.
            • On Monday, the vice president’s campaign announced that she had secured enough delegate support to become the Democratic nominee.
            • The Democratic Party plans to hold a virtual roll call where delegates can choose a presidential nominee before the party’s convention next month in Chicago.

            The article contains several informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that the cash infusion 'strengthens the case for a Harris ticket' and that Democrats 'need to establish a national campaign and fundraising operation in a matter of weeks.' This is an appeal to emotion, as it attempts to elicit a strong emotional response from readers. The author also uses an appeal to authority by quoting FEC Chair Sean Cooksey and Democratic Commissioner Dara Lindenbaum, implying that their opinions are the correct ones. However, no formal fallacies were found in the article.
