From the Daily Caller: Former Obama White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri rejoiced on Friday about Vice President Kamala Harris not needing to confront a rough primary to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee.
President Joe Biden suddenly pulled out from the presidential race on Sunday and endorsed Harris, who is running based on a party insider vote with virtually no primary voter approval and has already secured verbal sufficient support from delegates. Palmieri, on “Morning Joe,” said this more “parliamentary” process of Harris becoming the presumptive nominee will benefit her campaign for the presidency.
“I think that it’s true, though, that the Republicans are really caught off guard. They don’t quite know how to attack her or what her ticket is going to end up being,” Palmieri said. “And I think having only 100 days is … shorter campaigns can be better. It’s particularly hard with a woman candidate to get elected in this country, right? We’ve seen that before. When it’s happened other times in other countries, it’s happened in this sort of circumstance. This is where the nominee has not gone through a big, long, brutal primary process like happens in the U.S.”
“But like in a parliamentary system, where the person is presented as the leader of the party to the party, to the country as a winner, right? That’s what we have here,” she continued. “And I think that’s one of the reasons why you see everyone uniting behind her, there’s not second-guessing about what kind of candidate is best. It’s like, she’s our candidate. She’s the most experienced person out there. She’s the best prepared. She’s way more prepared than Donald Trump or J.D. Vance.”
“Our team is energized and ready to fight, and you have a really prepared candidate to take this on, and that’s the best position the Democrats can be in,” Palmieri declared.
“So far, a week into this, Republicans have not figured out a way to go after her,” she claimed.
