People keep asking why did #KamalaHarris suspend her campaign. I think for three reasons: money, optics and class. It was a smart decision under the current circumstances. A thread👇🏾 /1
Kamala raised close to $40 million, which is more money than any black woman to run. She garnered over 350K donors and had over 1 million donations, but that’s still not enough for campaigns. Especially with billionaires in the race and not receiving PAC money. /2
Kamala looked at her runway and made a good call. There is no point in 1) going into debt and jeopardize her next run, and 2) keep burning money on a vanity run. We have enough people currently doing that, and we know this isn’t about ego for her. /3
The constant barrage of negativity from MSM was wearing on her public image. It was completely orchestrated to not give her campaign oxygen, bc they knew she would catch fire. Best to leave now & let the rest fight in this dumpster fire race. /4
Now Kamala, her family and team can enjoy the holidays and ease into 2020. They all deserve it, and you know our girl is going to be called up in some capacity to go win this thing. /5
You can only imagine how hard it was to make this decision, but Kamala didn’t make it just about herself. She made it about her team and the Democratic party. She’s a team player and a class act, and she always does what she can to unify the party. /6
Kamala left the race qualifying for the December debate, the only POC candidate to do so, while hitting her online donation targets. She left on a high and clocked the far left on her way out. Nobody was ready for that! #oaklandrepresent /7
Kamala came into the race with receipts, leaves with a higher profile and experience. Plus the undying support of the #KHive. We recognize that Kamala represents more than an election. She’s a call to action to have the courage to fight for what you believe in. #BlackWomenLead /8 
#Khive can be proud of our candidate. Kamala has so many options and in the position to CHOOSE what she wants. Period. We’ll be ready to get in formation and support Kamala when she makes her next move. /END #ForThePeople #BlackWomenLead
