(35,454 posts)Speculation has recently surrounded Harris regarding a potential 2020 presidential run. Democratic donors are starting to coalesce around her as their preferred candidate, according to a report from Mic.
Certain groups that supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for president against eventual Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are not jumping on board, however. Yashar Ali, a political commentator who worked for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, tweeted Wednesday that it was "astounding how quickly the Bernie Sanders crew has mobilized against Kamala Harris."

RoseAnn DeMoro, the executive director of National Nurses United, has her reasons to distrust Kamala:Shes one of the people the Democratic party is putting up, DeMoro told the [New York] Times. In terms of where the progressives live, I dont think theres any there there.
Winnie Wong makes her case against Kamala:
She is the preferred candidate of extremely wealthy and out-of-touch Democratic party donors, said Winnie Wong, co-founder of the group People for Bernie, which played a prominent role the grassroots movement behind Sanders in 2016. Her recent anointing is extremely telling.
