Kamala Harris' big challengeBy David Axelrod, CNN Senior Political Commentator
Updated 1:00 PM ET, Mon January 28, 2019
"We must answer a fundamental question; WHO ARE WE?"
"When we have leaders, who bully and attack a free press and undermine Democratic institutions: THAT'S NOT AMERICA!"
"When white supremacists massacre innocent worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue; THAT'S NOT OUR AMERICA!"
"WHEN WE HAVE CHILDREN - IN CAGES - CRYING FOR THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS; DON'T YOU DARE CALL THAT BORDER SECURITY! THAT'S A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE; AND THAT'S NOT OUR AMERICA!
African-American voters are a strong part of the Democratic base. And under party rules, congressional districts with overwhelming Democratic performance receive additional delegates, multiplying the value of black support.
In a race that may require more than $100 million just to do well in the early states, Harris has a solid fundraising base in California and through social media. She raised an impressive $1.5 million online in just the first 24 hours after announcing her candidacy.
Her California supporters have built in an additional advantage, moving the date of the state's presidential primary from June to March, with early voting beginning the day of the Iowa caucuses. The nation's largest state will send 11 percent of the delegates to next year's Democratic National Convention.

OP
The California primary moving to March 3, which is Super Tuesday, is huge for Kamala Harris.
