Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely Democratic presidential nominee, MSNBC can revert back to their old trick of playing the race card. On Friday’s edition of The 11th Hour, Prof. Eeddie Glaude Jr. joined host Stephanie Ruhle’s panel to claim the election is now a choice between the forces of the future and those advocating racial “backlash.”
Ruhle wondered, “Now, for Democrats with a new candidate, and just three months to go before the election, does Kamala Harris need to lay out a specific agenda, a policy-focused agenda, or simply offer broad themes to counter Donald Trump's broad themes?”
Glaude claimed Harris needs to do both, but then added “I just want to say this really quickly, Stephanie, I think this is important. You know, we're in the middle of a kind of backlash.”
