Energized crowd greets Harris at Provincetown fundraiser

Source: CNN Politics

Published 7:49 PM EDT, Sat July 20, 2024


CNN — Defending Joe Biden and ripping into Donald Trump, Kamala Harris got one of her most roaring responses in years as she spoke at a fundraiser Saturday afternoon in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The vice president didn’t directly address the turmoil facing her running mate — whom she referred to at points as “our president” and “one of the most consequential presidents in American history” — but she did speak to the anxiety pulsing through the white tent in the shadow of the Pilgrim Monument by repeating, “We are going to win this election,” and asking the crowd to tell that to their friends.

“It’s not going to be easy. But we are a group of people who understand anything worthwhile takes a lot of hard work,” Harris said. “It takes grit. It takes believing in something and then going forward.”

The event was scheduled weeks ago, in very different political circumstances. By the time she took the stage, Harris was greeted with the excitement of many in the crowd who clearly believed they might be looking at a replacement nominee and, soon, potential next president. A $1 million fundraising goal for the afternoon was more than doubled; a large oil portrait of Harris’ face was positioned on an easel; toward the back; and a woman shouting out, “Go get ‘em, Kamala!” was greeted with a huge cheer and applause.

CNN had asserted that there were no more fundraisers because all of the "donors" have left. So because they were exposed for THAT lie, they then proceed to manufacture a reason for "excitement" by actual DONORS who don't seem to exist in their mind (well because it doesn't fit their narrative).

The key point that has to be highlighted is this -

A $1 million fundraising goal for the afternoon was more than doubled;


DON'T FALL FOR THEIR OKIE-DOKE.

As note - Provincetown (which I have been to a couple times) is right there on the end of the "hook" of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. For who knows how long, it has always been the premier stomping grounds for the LGBTQ community and the arts community. And as I see with the article, Pete Buttigieg was right there too and spoke!

I've been to P-town a number of times, and adore Race Point Beach. And I'm not gay.

I love the cape and Ptown most of all. They must have adored her being there….and more than doubled the fundraising goal, hot damn.

They must have loved Pete as well. .
