Congresswoman Maxine Waters speaks during a rally in support of Kamala Harris for President at the Proud Bird Event Center in Los Angeles on Friday, July 26, 2024. During July, Waters pushed hard for Biden to remain in the race remarking “hell, I’m older than Biden” during a panel event in New Orleans. She told Politicowhen she heard he was dropping out, but that frustration has quickly transitioned to passion for Vice Kamala Harris’s campaign.
“I think it was amazing to see that she could pull this many people so quickly,” said Watts community organizer Rhonita Thornton. “People are riled up, the Democrats’ energy is energized. When Auntie Maxine asks you to come, you show up.” Bell Gardens Mayor Gabriela Gomez echoed that sentiment, raising concerns about how Latinos would be impacted by a Trump presidency.
Several speakers at the press conference referred to a growing sense of momentum in the Democratic Party.
