When Did the Harris Campaign Really Begin?

I don’t normally find myself thinking that the Fake News puts out anything which is worth my attention or concern, but I have to say that an article about the Harris campaign in yesterday’s WaPo was so good and so thoughtful that I actually read it twice.

To be entirely honest, I have to admit that probably the reason this piece is so exceptional is that its main theme, which makes it clear that the Harris Presidential campaign didn’t just spring up overnight, happens to agree with me.

The effort to substitute Harris for Biden was made easier by the degree to which a campaign infrastructure — personnel, advertising content, media and social media, fundraising apparatus — were quickly and easily switched over to Kamala from Joe. You can see the effort being made in the picture above to shift into a Kamala Harris campaign, but the real tasks which had to be accomplished quickly and without hiccups were getting all the various groups and supporting organizations lined up, an effort having obviously been in the works for some period of time.

I would be less than secure in making this judgement, were it not for the fact that the day Kamala announced her candidacy, what had been a trickle of money being donated into her campaign became an avalanche, and it hasn’t stopped yet.
