Biden…
President Joe Biden stepping back from a re-election bid should come as no surprise. Given his age and his issues with live speaking, nope, no surprise.
But what worries me is how the Democrats are going to move forward. They have plenty of people that can run but do any of them have the awareness factor amongst voters or the respect and support of voters and their party to be able to make a run with just over three months until the election?
I just don’t know.
How many people know Andy Beshear or Gretchen Whitmer or JB Pritzker or Wes Moore?
Do you like enough or believe in Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom?
I’m fairly certain that Harris is going to get the nod at the DNC next month but is she enough to beat 45? Especially with how his cult has coalesced around his assassination attempt.
That was something I knew would happen. Once I saw him bleeding with his fist in the air surrounded by Secret Service, that was it. I immediately knew we’d see that image on t-shirts and posters and articles and sides of panel vans and… ugh.
And then that damned ear bandage. Jesus. I knew I was tired of red MAGA hats but not to be replaced by that bandage.
Is anyone enough to defeat him? Who do you think it will take? Can the Democratic Party get their voters riled up enough to make sure they vote in the necessary numbers?
You make a very good point about awareness of possible candidates. I was worried myself for a bit yesterday thinking this late in the game change will hurt chances for any Democrat to win in November. But then I started realizing that this could really bring out the young vote again. At least that is my hope. There is a big possibility of it happening. And I think Kamala Harris can beat 45. We don't want Fanta Fuhrer anywhere near the White House again. His bandaged cultists need to experience another loss.

I'm heartened to read the immense outpouring of financial support Kamala got in the hours after Biden dropping out. We donated some.

Yes, I definitely agree that needs to happen.

I don’t usually co tribute to politicians but I’m considering it as well.
