A full on political coup. The dems are stuck because how do they possibly explain their continued support of Biden up until a couple weeks ago. Everyone now knows they were lying about Biden's mental state. So, how do they explain their vocal support? Ineptitude?!
There have been calls/letters/emails about Biden not running since the last election ended.
The party elders (literally and figuratively) have been ignoring them because that also shines a light on the other septugenarians and older running shit still.
He's wasnt officially the nominee until the convention, so it's a swap for Kamala that they would have done 8 months ago anyways.
I don't think they'd have had anymore people primary her than they did Biden.
Oh well. Does Trump pull a Reagan after his assanation attempt, or does he just win by a bit because so many people won't vote for him?
I don't see Kamala beating him unless he's straight up overtly racist/sexist/insane on a debate stage with her, and he's been very controlled this go round.
Interesting times indeed.
ETA: I don't see Newsom or Whitmer or any other Dem jumping into the race because of how late it is. I think either of them could beat her if there had been primaries, but they don't have the same name recognition for most Americans right now.
Expect all other (serious) D candidates to sit this one out and let Harris be the sacrificial lamb.
