When your party leadership is demented, queers, criminals, whores and
the mentally ill, expect to get your throats cut at the ballot box.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris said she’s “scared as
heck” that Donald Trump could win another term as president as she
pledged an aggressive campaign to make sure that doesn’t happen.

She made the comments Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” in response to a
question from Joy Behar, one of the show’s hosts. Behar cited reports
that other top Democrats — including former President Barack Obama and
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina — are concerned about President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.

Asked if she was scared about the potential of another Trump presidency,
Harris said: “I am scared as heck! Which is why I’m traveling our
country. You know, there’s an old saying that there’s only two ways to
run for office — either without an opponent or scared. So on all of
those points, yes, we should all be scared.”

Harris said the fear should serve as motivation for the campaign ahead.

“When we are scared for the future of our children, do we then stay in
bed with the covers over?” she said. “No, we can’t.”

Harris added, “We’ve got to earn reelection. There is no question. We’ve
got to be on the road.”

The vice president is scheduled to begin a series of events focused on
abortion in Wisconsin, a key battleground state. Events will begin
Monday, the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision
that protected the right to an abortion.

The court’s conservative majority overturned the nationwide right to
abortion in 2022, a significant defeat for Democrats but one that has
also motivated the party’s voters.

“In this year of our Lord 2024, the government should not be telling
women what to do with their bodies, and so it’s that basic,” Harris
said.

Alyssa Griffin, a former Trump communications aide who has become a
critic of the former president, pressed Harris on why Biden has fallen
short of his predecessor in some polls.

“What does it say that the party is struggling to compete with an unfit
man who is very likely going to jail?” asked Griffin, who is another
host of “The View.”

Harris suggested that voters haven’t been paying attention to politics
and are now “beginning to narrow in on what this election will mean.”
