I had a meeting today with Kamala's Campaign Manager and senior team

They are running with a theme of "truth and justice", building on her DA/AG prosecutorial skills to fight for the needs of the disadvantaged (minimum wage, criminal cash bail, education costs, gun safety, etc.

While they pay lip service to running in all the early States, it's clear that their investing a lot of effort in a a breakout in South Carolina (African Americans and Seniors) and racking up a lot of early votes in the California Primary (which starts early voting on the day of the Iowa Caucus).

Two observations:

While they are continuing with low-dollar digital fundraising, they are not afraid of going after high-dollar money. My meeting was with other deep-pockets donors and bundlers.

In response to a question about Israel (and Bernie), they made it clear that she won't shy away from support from Israel and opposition to BDE, pointing to her speech at AIPAC last year.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
