VP Harris Defies Opposing Winds from GOP MAGA World and Big Donors Like Musk and Sacks

Before July 21, 2024, the GOP MAGA ex-president and his vice-presidential pick, US Senator JD Vance, the big money GOP MAGA tech industry titans, other political operatives along with the rank and file could be seen celebrating their coming together in unity for a common cause, thinking that they had the prize in sight of winning the White House, the majority position in the US Senate and possibly even maintaining a majority of seats in the US House.

Right-wing media was euphoric in predicting major GOP MAGA wins in November.

For months, the GOP MAGA propaganda machine had effectively been firing off falsehoods, misleading innuendos, outrageous claims into the ether that was landing on swing state voters. The narrative was taking hold regarding democrat President Joe Biden’s elderly age allegedly making him incapable of governing, his being the architect of a failing economy with rising inflation rates, the one who’s solely responsible for droves of migrants, invading unchecked at the US southern border and allowing for a crime wave to reach new crescendos in US major cities.

Now they’re starting the attacks on VP Kamala Harris. As per the Daily Mail, “Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles has filed articles of impeachment of Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of the southern border and for her insistence that Joe Biden was fit for the top of the Democratic ticket.”

For over 10 months, the polls in swing states had been mostly favoring GOP MAGA ex-president to be victorious in the November 2024 elections, millions of dollars were being donated to the GOP MAGA election coffers by big money donors, including tech giants like Elon Musk and David Sacks. All the criminal charges against the GOP MAGA ex-president have been delegated to a holding pattern. The Supreme Court granted him expanded powers should he win the presidency and limited the power of regulatory officials and experts to determine how best to manage different agencies instead of legislators.

What could go wrong with just about 105 days before the elections being held on the 5th of November in 2024?

There stepped forward, a heroic decent, truthful and honorable man of integrity, the democrat POTUS Joe Biden who after reviewing lots of data and speaking to key legislators, made the tough gut-wrenching decision to step down from being the democrat party’s presidential nominee while endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, to reverse the headwinds currently favoring the GOP MAGA ex-president.

His sacrifice on behalf of all Americans is about to bear fruit.

He made the right call. The democrat party’s infrastructure can be seen as quickly coalescing behind the President’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in becoming their standard bearer to win the presidency in November 2024. This enthusiasm is palpable as she’s already garnered enough pledged delegates in less than 3 days to be the presumed presidential nominee, over $100 million dollars in donations and about 58,000 citizens lining up to volunteer. Big business donors are back in play, already pledging over $150 million dollars.

As per the July 22, 2024 Atlantic article by Tim Alberto, “This Is Exactly What the Trump Team Feared:”

Excerpts:

“Biden’s departure from the presidential race, (for republicans) caps a frenetic four-month stretch in which Trump’s campaign went from cocky about Biden’s deficiencies to fearful of his ouster to stunned at the sudden letter from Biden doing the thing Republicans thought he’d never do.”

“Republicans (are) still hungover from celebrating what felt to many like a victory-night celebration in Milwaukee, registered shock at the news of Biden’s departure. Party officials had left town believing the race was all but over. Now they were confronting the reality of reimagining a campaign—one that had been optimized, in every way, to defeat Biden—against an unknown challenger. “So, we’re forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race,” a clearly peeved Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. “Now we have to start all over again.”

“This is the essence of what Trump’s campaign believes—that any Democrat who picks up the party’s banner will inherit the baggage that made Biden unelectable. Republicans will point to historic inflation, millions of illegal border crossings, and geopolitical chaos from Eastern Europe to the Middle East as evidence that the entire Democratic Party has failed the American people. “We’ve talked about strength versus weakness, success versus failure,” LaCivita told me before the convention, summarizing the campaign’s strategic vision for the race. “The great thing about that messaging is that it’s not just unique to Joe Biden.”

“But they know it’s more than that. They know that from the moment they partnered with Trump, everything they intended for this campaign—the messaging, the advertising, the microtargeting, the ground game, the mail pieces, the digital engagement, the social-media maneuvers—was designed to defeat Joe Biden. Even the selection of Ohio’s Senator J. D. Vance as Trump’s running mate, campaign officials acknowledged, was something of a luxury meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter.”

“The mentality of this Trump campaign, LaCivita once told me, is to spend every day on offense. The team wants to shape the pace and substance of every news cycle and force Democrats to react, ensuring that key battles are fought on the GOP’s chosen terrain. It worked so well that Biden was ruined before his party’s convention. Now the Trump operation is vowing to destroy Harris—if, in fact, she becomes the nominee—in much the same way.”

“And yet, for a campaign that went to bed Saturday believing that it would dictate the terms of the election every day until November 5, Sunday brought an unfamiliar feeling of powerlessness. For the first time in a long time, Trump doesn’t control the narrative of 2024.”

Remember wondering why the billionaire Elon Musk decided to purchase Twitter at an inflated price that belied his normally sophisticated business acumen? It’s my opinion that he just wanted to transform Twitter (X) into a forum where he could ensure that right wingers/ GOP MAGAs would be free to speak their minds without fear of their boogeyman, the “cancel culture.”

Elon Must is part of a conservative reactionary group of Tech titans who consider themselves to be libertarians, free market capitalists, proponents of startup companies’ that want growth and innovation not to be stymied by government regulations or taxation.  This group has set up the Pro Trump America PAC, backed by tech entrepreneurs like Shaun Maguire, the brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

It was David Sacks and Elon Musk who along with the former FOX News host, Tucker Carlson who lobbied the GOP MAGA ex-president to choose Senator Vance, a former venture capitalist, to be his vice-president. Recently, the WSJ broke the news that Elon Musk has pledged to donate to the pro-Trump America PAC, $45 million dollars per month. Mr. Musk has called this report a fabrication.

It’s important to note that J D Vance, Elon Musk and David Sacks and their tech crowd strongly oppose the US continuing to provide military aid to Ukraine in defense of its territory against Russia’s aggression.
