Pressure is mounting on Biden to resign
- Thread starter K Douglas
- Start date
Gotta love the people who want to hand over all their tax money to a 34 time felon, convicted of fraud and with a history of stiffing his investors, workers and team.
I think Kamala would be their best chance at this point. If they don't go with her it will cause further mistrust (if that's possible at this point) in that she was chosen to be the VP, and in the event something bad happened to Biden she would assume the role of POTUS. So if she is not chosen now, that entire decision will be scrutinized by both parties.
You think the right wing media hasn't been attacking Biden and his family for years?
Hidding things to the public seems to be the new norm. Grifting is the new norm of the gop.
What a farce. I guess real wage growth for the middle class, a secure US-Mexico border, revised trade agreements, energy independence, no new foreign wars/conflicts, the Abraham Accords and the lowest unemployment rates for minorities in history just magically appeared out of thin air eh?
Jali, you seem to be lost in the events of the day. Biden is going to being replaced. Some of the prominent liberals here have either adopted a wait and see silence. Others are already discussing what comes next.
You need to accept that Biden will not beat Trump. He won't be given the chance.
Can it be that easy that all the key Democrats will just accept Kamala as Biden's successor?
Will some prominent Democrat(s) step in and challenge Kamala?
After all, if there was a primary contest there would have been a serious challenge to Kamala. We know VPs often do not come up on top when seeking the Presidency.
My vibe is that Kamala will be accoladed as the "unity candidate" in the same way Old Joe was 4 years ago. A smart, white male up-and-comer will be picked for Veep.
She's gonna make a great prez, Earp. You'll grow to love her. And 8 years from now - when Trump is still trying to get attention by wearing that silly bandage over his ear - you'll be thankful that you experienced one of the great, transformative Dem administrations in US history.
Considering that the GOP's own "smart white male up and comer" Veepnom spent his speech ranting about immigrants, abortion and how his granny played with guns, I think the Dems will do allright.
Let's try to have some serious discussions here before the rest of the prog squad infest these threads.
I think Kamala will have a hard time appealing voters in the Great Lakes region. This was why Biden was supported by the party in 2020. Now anticipating some broader race criticism of Rust Belt voters, I will point to Obama's success. Now I would probably admit female candidates might have an issue in this region. But how do we know? Hillary didn't bother to spend a lot of time campaigning in the region.
If Kamala busts her ass campaigning in the region and downplaying her ties to California State politics, she might have a chance.
Vance was specifically picked to shore up the Rust Belt.
He will have no appeal in California, New England and Ontario for that matter.
Rumours swirling that it's a done deal that he'll step down, but won't endorse Harris.
Well, Newsom comes to mind. I don't know if he would want to be a VP under Kamala.
Pritzker from Illinois is a possibility. Even though he is filthy rich, he looks like a guy who likes beer and a rack of barbecue ribs.
BREAKING: Per
@MarkHalperin
, Biden will announce his withdrawal as soon as Sunday, followed by an OPEN Democrat convention between Kamala and three or more rivals. Biden will NOT endorse his VP and will NOT resign the presidency. This could be the wildest month in American political history.
BREAKING: President Biden has reportedly agreed to step down, and a speech has been written. He will also not endorse Kamala Harris for President, according to multiple Democratic sources, political analyst Mark Halperin claims—no official confirmation from Biden or the White House. WATCH
He won't support Kamala? He would know her better than many...
The media is mostly left-leaning so by sheer volume and reach alone, the attacks on Trump far exceed the attacks on Biden.
