## Kamala Harris undeniably a superior presidential candidate to Donald Trump | Opinion

Authored by usatoday.com

Because I wear all of these hats, I have taken on the responsibility to enthusiastically advocate for all of the Democratic candidates on the ballot.

Like many Americans, I could not forget President Joe Biden’s staggering performance during the June 27 presidential debate.

My promise to all of my neighbors in Deer Park is that I would never lie to them or mislead them.

A few days before Biden dropped out, I stated on social media that I think Kamala Harris should be the Democratic nominee for president.

Harris' vision for America stands in stark contrast to the dark and un-American vision of Project 2025.

It apparently took at least 10 months of trying before a Ukrainian drone operator finally hit a Russian helicopter.

But now that the Ukrainians have droned their first helicopter, they may redouble their efforts to take down Russian rotorcraft. »
