3. Impressive creds & impressive human being. Here's his introductory video

What's not to love & admire.

I think he's in the same race as Fetterman, whom I like as well, but my attention is definatly on Malcolm Kenyatta for a future in Democratic policy & position.

He will secure a place in our Party leadership.
Lucky & proud to welcome him on board

Best of luck wherever you land Rep Kenyatta.

4. A bold step for a young man, this will raise his profile for the future

but Fetterman is probably favourite. Kenyatta comes across very well on his MSNBC appearances.

5. Agree on Fetterman for the win, but this will certainly position Kenyatta for a long & ..

..successful future.

He is inspiring & true, & we need more like him to carry our strong Democratic Party into the future.

Bravo 💙

6. 100% agree. This will do a lot of good for his future and I suspect

Lawrence will be giving him even more airtime. Some good young Dems coming through like him, Fetterman and Boyle. Actually it will be interesting to see if Brendan Boyle throws his hat in the ring too.
