Congratulations, UK! Congratulations, France! I'm 🇺🇸💚 but once I found understood what, Project 2025 was my priorities changed. I don't care if they have to literally prop him up on a stand then dies the moment he gets elected. Kamala Harris, is right there. She is ready, willing, and more than able to pick up the reigns. He ment to say that she'll be the first black woman president. I'm 💚 backing 💙!
