For senator Kamala Harris and a big day for San Francisco. Here we are in San Francisco and we are the home to Kamala Harris, nancy pelosi and governor gavin newsom, now the three biggest most high profile critics of President Trump in the entire nation. Reporter nate ballard is a Democratic Political strategist who has worked on president ial campaigns, but before politics he worked down the hall from harris. Shes a person who cares about people in a really genuine way. So when my kids were born, she sent handwritten notes. Reporter he says shes already leading the pack of democratic candidates. So Kamala Harris has star quality and she is instantly a front runner in this race. Reporter but theres a danger in being the frontrunner so early in the election cycle. Just ask howard dean. If you become this sensation and youre held upon a pedestal, the danger is that the media and the primary voters will want to tear you down. Reporter he says for harris the best strategy is to work at a s
What does her fellow bay area politician nancy pelosi think about that . Were all very proud of kamala and have been for a long time. Reporter with so Many Democrats running for president , its no surprise House Speaker nancy pelosi said she wont be endorsing anyone. As speaker of the house, i probably wont be supporting any candidates for president , but i certainly am thrilled about her candidacy. Reporter but pelosi did point out that harris slogan for the people is the same one that Congressional Democrats used in the 2018 election. I love the fact that her theme is for the people because that was our theme as the democrats to take back the house. Thats what its always about, for the people.

Overcoming opposition and passing Voting Rights in the senate. These bills help treat the symptoms of the disease, but they do not fully address the disease itself. While i continue to support these bills i will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and joe manchin, another protector of the filibuster, seem to believe when it comes to protecting democracy the cure is worse than the problem.

Sense for our stock market to be down as far as it was today. Even as i have repeatedly said that china is a shadow of its health. Losing 1. 1 percent. What is up with the job market . This chinese Economic Data overnight. I am not gnoring the current corporations with china. Should china be super important to our stock market these days . I think that china is hurting. It is happening but not as drastically as some people think. We rely on them for so many cheap goods. Whats more important is whether you hate them or love them. The final investments away from china and the Biden Administration is doubling down on new technology. It will have a far greater impact on the progress in the future. With youth unemployment this morning, it was a jarring. That is what the authoritarian regimes do. I do not want to ignore the pending collapse of some chinese financial entities. I find it odd that arm market is this versatile. One quarter of their exports go to the prc. I have to question that.
