    Is that why she lost to Biden and every other Dem who was running in 2020? What has she done in her tenure as VP to increase her lot and convince people even Dems she would make a good President?

    Although a woman got more votes than Trump. And US has had a black President.

    The dishonesty of the left in this thread is amusing and sad all at the same time.

    First, a number of people are acting like it was Biden who made this decision when EVERYBODY knows that's a lie. He was getting pressure applied from everywhere and was basically forced to quit.

    Second, they're acting as if, from a cognitive standpoint, that biden and trump are the same when that is obviously a lie too. Someone even just said his dementia was sudden onset over the last month when it was crystal clear during the 2020 campaign he was a mess.

    It's ok lefties, you can actually start to be honest now (zero chance I know)....biden was a mess for his entire presidency. Go on, try it for once.

    Wrong as usual. Joe has now endorsed Harris. The circus of gross incompetence continues, and if the dems go with Harris- Trump's people will be laughing.

    When you have nothing in your stable better than a burro so you enter it in the Kentucky Derby..... That kind of laughing.

    Unless they have the equivalent Jesus in the wings (and they don't), they don't have a prayer.

    What's more- they have no one but themselves to blame. Self-destruction.

    We knew it would happen, but it's more dramatic a collapse than anyone thought it would be. Righteous, though.

    Surely that won’t bother you…when trump pardoned only campaign staff who refused to cooperate with law enforcement

    History has been made, as Biden just announced that he is dropping out of the race.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/live/bid...al-race-endorses-kamala-harris-180510790.html


    President Biden announced Sunday that he was pulling out of the 2024 campaign following a weeks-long pressure campaign from fellow Democrats that began in earnest following his much-criticized debate performance in late June.

    “I believe it is in the the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down," Biden said in a statement posted to X. He added that he plans to address the nation later this week, but made clear that he intends to finish out the last three months of his term in office.”

    Trump and his team need to start their strategy from scratch.

    Trump is now the old candidate fighting the new generation.... and the first female presidential candidate.

    If Harris is chosen, she'll pack in the female vote in virtually every tossup state.

    And if Harris chooses Josh Shapiro as VP, she'll be elected the first woman president in US history.

    He's being FORCED out of the race in spite of his OVERWHELMING victories in the primaries where THE PEOPLE spoke. Why have the primaries if the party leaders are just going to look at the polls and toss all those elections out the window?

    Right now the collective left is kicking themselves in the butt for not hiding Biden’s mental problems better. Were it not for the debate, a debate proposed by Biden, the left would still be behind him and telling us he’s as sharp as a tack.

    Problem is that there are 6 months in his term, not 3

    His choice. Nobody has the power to force him out.

    Possibly in reaction to all the media talking heads pointing out that Bidens letter didnt endorse Kamalah, he rushed out a second statement to say he endorses Kamalah

    Agreed! I think Biden did a great job in his 4 years, but this is best. Kamala can WIN this thing!

    Trump pardoned criminals why are you so ready to dump on Biden for something he may or may not do? Not justifying any possible monkey see monkey do. Two wrongs do not make one right.

    If you really believed that elections were rigged, you wouldn't vote.

    This is how weak the Democratic Party is right now and what should alarm Democrat voters:

    Kamala Harris? She couldn’t even last into Iowa in 2020, now she’s going to carry them? And that was before her disastrous vice presidency. The lies told about whipped horses, as well as no resolution on the border issue.

    Maybe one way they can build a coalition quickly is to get a coalition that’s already built. This for example would be Bernie Sanders.

    But then you A: Need Sanders to run in the first place and B: Doesn’t exactly answer the age question(he’d have to pick a VP to counter this. I can see AOC in that position.) That’s the ideal scenario for Democrats out of this mess.

    He did great at the state of union, but yeah, he had a very bad debate night and people freaked out.
