Nate Cohn weighs in on early polls showing some tightening in Georgia... It's one state (along with NC) where I think Kamala is a real net plus over Biden. Still need to focus more on the blue wall, but winning the Presidency is much much easier if GA is close / in play

Agreed. Believe it or not, you don't have to be experiencing dementia in order to slow down in speech or to be frail in older age.

lol

I am truly shocked that the 800th pivot was, not in fact, the charm

Also had some level of charisma. Palin was able to work a room, or at least ones filled with Rs anyway. JD Vance has never, to-date, been able to work a room in a political setting. Maybe that will change, but it isn't new... He was a bad candidate when he ran for Senate l, doesn't appear to have learned much

Has TSwift even heard of Ben Shapiro?

Walz has been using the "these guys are weird" line for a while, and it's pretty effective. He's a dark horse pick for sure, and his electoral record is one of the better ones (particularly the years in Congress running in a red-trending district and winning)

Not exactly a surprise... He has all of the charm of a traffic cone

He has a much better campaign team this time versus last runs and they will respond with something more effective than whatever this is, that's my guess. If they make this race an up and down referendum on Kamala's race, they will lose. LaCivita and Wiles likely know that, but they can't necessarily control their fellow party members and media organs either

Boy oh boy, they are really running with this...

Wat

Harris knocked her speech out of the park IMO...

Wow, Biden isn't dead. Shocking!

CTG seems on board...

Yeah, real "End of Days" Jeb Bush vibes lol

This.... his endorsement helped, but the reality is that none of them wanted anything to do with challenging her because the risks would have far exceeded any reward. It's a big reason why there was never a real challenge to Biden once he decleared reelection.... the risk reward math just didn't add up.

The comment itself is strange, but man the rest of the clip is honestly even stranger. Just zero charisma at all.

What a weirdo...

It's amazing, they simply cannot help themselves....

This is a really big deal in the sense that, most seemed to agree prior to him departing the ticket, Biden's troubles were heavily influenced by a lack of base consolidation. That is clearly not the case anymore - it seems like she's getting support from every corner of the party now. The other thing I'll be curious to see is whether Biden's approvals jump at all after making this announcement... if they do, I would imagine Kamala will see her approvals track with his. That's important because winning becomes a lot easier if you're in the low to mid 40s versus the high 30s (where Biden has been the past few months)

Such unity

Kentucky is a red state and obviously Harris wouldn't win it regardless. Having said that, the clip of Beshear on Morning Joe this morning, and his specific calling out of how Vance has embellished his ties to Kentucky, moved him up a few notches in my book.

Wow
