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

Interesting

JD will have problems with whoever he debates most likely

I think he doesn't want to debate her... His performance last month was awful as well. But it's telling if he won't do it, and it's not a hard message to sell

106 Days... “It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses” I love serendipity

Just gives her an attack line to use. It's campaign malpractice.

With Kelly, it would trigger an appointment and special election in 2026 per Arizona law. It isn't without risk, but it's not a deal breaker of one thinks that another candidate can win there next cycle. The safest picks would be Cooper, Walz or Beshear... Cooper and Beshear were both AGs when Kamala was AG from California, so they are going to be in the upper tier of people considered I would imagine

I think she has been better at that as a surrogate for Biden in this cycle fwiw

It's a dilemma that comes down to what they think the trajectory of the state goes in longer term. I'd probably take that gamble, but I can see where one of the other options seems less bad

It's likely about neutralizing any Jan 6th talk coming up the pike with swing voters. Giving a "what about" to counter with. The problem is that, if polls are to be believed, most people *wanted* this result. I've honest been surprised by their response to this news, it's the most disorganized they have been this entire campaign cycle

I think people need to open themselves to the idea that she has maybe learned a thing or two about a thing or two since 2020 as well. People are largely going off of 2020 when they judge her so negatively... In the appearances that I have seen during this campaign, she has shown a lot of growth. She had arguably been Biden's best asset as a surrogate

To use another parlance from our time, they can "cope and seethe"
