The act of certifying an election result, once a routine and almost invisible part of the process, has become a point of contention and even praise.

Kamala Harris’s role in overseeing the upcoming electoral count is undeniably a significant event, particularly considering the context of Donald Trump’s presidency. It represents a conscious effort to restore a fundamental aspect of American democracy, a process that Trump deliberately disrupted. The very act of Harris taking on this responsibility signifies a return to established norms, a clear contrast to the actions of the previous administration.
The fact that this is even a noteworthy occurrence highlights the extent of the damage inflicted during the Trump era. The casual disregard for established procedures and the blatant attempts to subvert democratic processes have left a lasting impact on the political landscape.… Continue reading
Thousands are protesting in Washington D.C. this weekend to prevent Donald Trump’s inauguration, arguing that the 14th Amendment bars him from office due to his involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot. Led by Trump’s former staffer Jessica Denson and supported by legal experts, the “#14thNow” movement aims to pressure lawmakers to reject Trump’s electoral votes. Success would result in Vice President Kamala Harris becoming president. Legal scholars contend that sufficient congressional objection to Trump’s electoral votes, based on the 14th Amendment and the findings of the January 6th Committee, could disqualify him.

Vice President Kamala Harris will swear in a new class of Senators, many of whom previously spread false and defamatory claims about her during the recent election cycle. These Senators, including those who mocked her name and falsely accused her of various actions, will now participate in ceremonies presided over by the very person they attacked. This situation, while difficult, is a common experience for Vice Presidents, particularly those who have run for president. Harris, however, faces the added sting of seeing her fiercest critics gain power after a hard-fought election. Despite the unpleasant circumstances, Harris understands this is a standard part of the political process.

Kamala Harris faced significant opposition from segments of the Arab American community during her presidential campaign, with groups like the Uncommitted National Movement and the “Abandon Harris” campaign criticizing her perceived insufficient distancing from the Biden administration’s handling of the Gaza war.

While the Harris campaign cited outreach efforts and policy alignment, critics argued her messaging lacked a clear alternative vision and prioritized reaction to Trump’s rhetoric over proactive engagement with their concerns. The outcome left many feeling disillusioned with the Democratic Party and apprehensive about the incoming Trump administration’s Middle East policies.
