‘Former security officials endorsed Harris’

In an interview published on July 24 in The Durango Herald, a person was quoted as saying: “(Kamala) Harris is very inexperienced, she doesn’t have foreign policy credentials. I don’t think she’s up to the task.”

I think this person needs to do his homework. On July 23, more than 350 former national security officials endorsed Harris for president. Their report notes: “Over the past three and a half years, Vice President Harris has played an integral role in restoring U.S. global leadership around the world, working closely with President Biden on our nation’s most pressing challenges.

“She has effectively and skillfully represented our nation on the world stage, and has been a relentless advocate for American interests, American values, and American security and prosperity. She has met with more than 150 world leaders and traveled to 21 countries as vice president.

“She has been by the president’s side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room, managing high-stakes international crises and advising on the toughest decisions – from the U.S. response to Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, to the United States’ defense of Israel when Iran attacked in April 2024, to U.S. strikes against al-Qaeda leaders.”
