I will say this, underestimate black women at your own peril. We have, oh, all of history behind that one.
A complete goober, and also a previous attorney general. What a uniquely cool combination.
Unfortunately, people like you and me are in the severe minority. It sickens me to see that the person directly responsible for genociding tens if not hundreds of thousands of people will be remembered as a "hero".
Glad he's no longer be able to become a president, at the very least.
Really a baffling choice, one that I suspect would cause him great grief in the future.
The only comparison here is that Harris and Clinton are women. Not even close to being similar situation's
I guess his thinking was "the most trump energy possible" to beat biden
really fucked up there
Or maybe "I don't even need the angry mob. He'll hang himself if I ask him to."
Very much this.
I also hope Kamala isn't just passively pro-Ukraine and actually makes as strong an effort as Biden has to ensure they get all of the support they need.
People/media trying to look for reasons not to vote for Kamala now that they can't use the Joe Biden is old excuse.
The Republicans and the media got to smear Hillary for two whole decades beforehand, along with her name being tied to her husband's actions in office.
Everyone was completely unprepared for the possibility of Harris, because nobody ever thought that a black woman would ever be allowed to go anywhere close to the seat of the President. She has none of the baggage that Hillary has, and every kind of attacking point that the GOP could attempt to use against her is also something that would energize the youth and minority vote to support her in droves instead.
There should be a rule on Era where "We don't talk about Bruno."
Loving all the meltdowns. Johnson and Gingrich saying that this is "a violation of democracy", Miller melting down (if only he did that literally, the creep), and the NYT calling for Biden's withdrawal for weeks/months and when it finally happened they now claim that the Democratic Party is unfocused. What a joke.
Oh, and then there's this absolute bootlicking loser.
It's crazy that *POOF* nothing that has to do with Hunter Biden matters anymore. Not that it ever did.
He probably asked all candidates if they were willing to subvert the constitution if another January 6 would happen and Vance was the only one that convinced him.
years harping on Hunter, if it would ever have mattered, matters even less now lol
I think people are desperate for a tonal shift as much as anything else. it's been a grim eight years between Trump's psychosis and Biden's apparent frailty.
its so lame and desperate. they ain't even hiding that they built their whole strategy around Biden with little by way of a contingency plan. none will be sharp enough to realise this is neither anywhere close to actual fraud, and that the dems have spent a ton more money propping up Biden than they ever did fighting him this election seasonThere should be a rule on Era where "We don't talk about Bruno."

Good luck to Kamala in the task of beating Trump. He is far from invincible and if democrats stay united and focused they can win. Will be probably be close but they can do it, stay on message and run an energetic campaign with many events. Present an united front like in 2020.
Wishing the best for the future of the USA. Hopefully Trump is defeated once again and Republicans need to moderate themselves in the future instead of just running on being the party of Trump.

He should cheat too and step down for Vance. No please, do it!There should be a rule on Era where "We don't talk about Bruno."

"I should get a refund because I was forced to spend money on myself and my campaign and now I've dropped out."
Trump should pull a double-reverse card and drop out of the race, so they lose even more money.There should be a rule on Era where "We don't talk about Bruno."

Not even Trump's base is fully behind him, because... his wife is Indian-American.

The previous record day was on September 19, 2020, one day after RBG's death.
I remember that day well.
Already over $6 million has been raised today alone.
Oh, and then there's this absolute bootlicking loser.
being reminded this person exists is a form of torture lol
I don't think they'll be able to, but worth a try for a while I guess.
The RBG haul was $91 million within 28 hours, so still time to beat it.
It's definitely satisfying to see Trump and the GOP panicking over this move.
I do find it really hilarious that Biden waited until the RNC was over before dropping out of the race. I have a feeling that was entirely intentional. Let them lock in Trump as their candidate, waste time and energy targeting Biden for their convention, with no attacks on Kamala (I didn't watch the RNC, so I have no idea if she was mentioned or not), and then drop out after. Just great timing lol
So now Trump has to face off against someone who is leagues smarter, more articulate, more experienced in both law and government, more personable, and just all around a better human being than he is. I'd definitely love to see them debate, but I imagine Trump is going to try to wriggle his way out of it unless he manages to get triggered if people start claiming he's afraid to debate her.
I'm sure it's already chewing at him that he never beat Biden, and now never will. I bet it's driving him crazy.
If he loses to Kamala this November, it might just finally do him in and break him. I know she's got my vote.

"I'm the oldest candidate, everyone is saying it. Big men with tears in their eyes came up to me saying that I've lost a step, several steps in fact, more steps than Biden."
So, they are straight up admitting that campaigning isn't about your own policies and getting your message out. It's about smearing the opponent.There should be a rule on Era where "We don't talk about Bruno."

Non US citizen here, just curious
Even if Harris wins the vote, Trump is going to pull all the same stops he did back in 2020 isn't he? Call election fraud, constant recounting votes etc. I fear for the reaction his base will have if he loses. A second Jan 6 shouldn't happen.
I also don't understand the point of the electoral college, can they still just say 'no' to the result the people voted for? Hillary won the public vote and yet Donald got to be president due to the EC iirc? That's such bullshit lmao.

He wont be the President this time around if he tries to do jan6 2 electric boogaloo.
Trump isn't President any more, so he has a lot less power to do these things than he did in 2021.
The big, big difference between now and 2020/21 is that he's no longer President, so there's not a fear of the transfer of power, because he currently has no power (outside of inciting violence again, which of course he would still do).
I think Biden's team and a lot of key Democrats had statements drafted up just in case Biden decided to drop out, but Biden didn't fully decide to drop out until Sunday. Then he basically gave the go-ahead to publish the already written statement.
He literally became a Nazi because of a 9/10 review of The Witcher 3. I can't get over that.
