On Monday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) announced her candidacy for president, adding yet another top-tier Democratic challenger into the race to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.
Her campaign, however, instantly hit a bit of bad news: disgraced right-wing commentator Bill O’Reilly will not be voting for her.
