Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair Michael Blake suggested during a CNN segment on Monday that it is sexist to argue Vice President Kamala Harris “inherited” the Democratic nomination.
Blake said Republicans are using “subtle sexism and nonsense” to attack Harris because she is up in the latest national polling. Blake responded to Jesse Hunt, the former communications director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, who argued during the segment that Harris “inherited” her campaign from President Joe Biden after he dropped out of the race on July 21.
“I think the Republicans are scrambling because they know they have a disastrous ticket,” Blake said on “CNN News Central.” “So, their argument is that the vice president, as Jesse just said, inherited this. So there’s a lot of subtle sexism and nonsense within these kind of comments. She is the vice president. She was elected that if something happened to the president, she would step up. This is the reason why there’s such support around it.”
