“Nearly two decades ago, my late mother, Lula Green, shared with me her strong intuition that a woman would rise to the presidency in the near future. Though she couldn’t predict when, she firmly believed it would happen within my lifetime. As news emerged of President Joseph Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the 2024 Presidential Election, I couldn’t help but recall my mother’s prophetic words, which shed a poignant light on this historic political development.

President Biden’s choice to step down reflects a remarkable display of courage and selflessness, underscoring his unwavering dedication to serving the best interests of the American people. As the announcement continued to sink in, I started to imagine an America run by Vice President Kamala Harris, sparking a renewed sense of optimism and hope.

The experience, commitment, and leadership of Vice President Harris, along with the potential for her to assume the highest office, provide us with a compelling vision of our nation’s future. At the local level, it’s crucial that we support a President capable of advocating effectively on critical issues impacting the residents of East Orange, such as affordable housing, workforce development, immigration, and healthcare, while also addressing humanitarian issues such as climate change, civil unrest, and global poverty.

With an overwhelming wave of support from Democrats across the nation, I am confident that Vice President Kamala Harris is the leader we need now to secure a victory against Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Her win is destined to mark the beginning of a truly transformative era in American history. And mom, I am extremely proud to be here for it.”
