The vice president has enough convention delegates to secure the Democratic nomination for president at next month's convention in Chicago, and party leaders and their allies in the mainstream media are in full support mode, attempting to build up a candidate who is tied to the Biden administration's record.

"I don't think that she is popular enough," says P. Rae Easley, founder and chair of ChicagoRED, an organization dedicated to reshaping the city's political landscape. "I don't think that she was effective in her job as vice president. She was the border czar, and I have too many illegals in my city for her to be even considered an effective leader if her job was to close the border or to monitor the border."
If anything, Easley thinks the issue with the illegals has helped move Chicago's electorate away from the liberal progressive failures that are bankrupting the city.
And with Harris proving herself incapable of handling the small job of border czar, the conservative does not understand why she should be put in charge of the free world.
"Regardless of whoever they put in the seat to be the Democratic nominee, they're not going to be able to overcome the dysfunction that the Democratic Party has caused in my city," Easley adds.
She expects many of her fellow black voters will openly support Donald Trump when the Democrats descend on Chicago next month and Harris vies to formally secure the nomination from the around 4,700 Democratic convention delegates — including those pledged to Biden, as well as the elected officials, former presidents, and other party elders known as superdelegates.
Worse than Biden
At a time of great political upheaval in the U.S., Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived for his latest visit. But citing another commitment, Harris declined to preside over his joint address to Congress yesterday.
Considering the vice president's record on Israel, Olive Tree Ministries founder Jan Markell was not surprised.

"My first major exposure to her was in 2020, when she either formed the fund or promoted the funds to bail out those that had been rioting in the Minneapolis area," Markell recalls. "From that day forward, I have seen her as a radical, and I consider her to be an anti-Israel radical as well, part of the pro-Hamas wing."
In fact, she expects Harris will be worse than Biden, whom she has long considered to be the most anti-Israel president in U.S. history.
"He has wanted to maintain an appearance of being pro-Israel, even though we know he is not. But nonetheless, he's tried to convince people that he has always been pro-Israel and always will be. She just doesn't care," Markell compares.
She concludes that the Jews who vote for Harris, if it comes down to that, "need to have their heads examined, because they are voting for Israel's destruction."
An aide to the vice president told Fox News Digital that Harris would be meeting with Netanyahu at the White House this week while he is in Washington, D.C.
