Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

I don't think the needle is going to shift all that much for her.

Unsatisfied with the pound of flesh, Moore wants the whole thing

I mean, if he did step down that would only bolster Harris as the presumptive nominee, and having been advanced to being the incumbent POTUS herself. And would immediately force Republicans to prove they don’t care about the continuity of government or not regarding the confirmation of a new VP.

It wouldn’t change her ability to serve two terms either, the constitution sets the limit at 2 terms + 2 years for this very reason. (Amendment XXII)

I don’t see Biden electing this route least of all before Harris has selected a VP, to do what Moore suggests now would throw the selection of a VP functionally to Congressional Republicans who either wouldn’t confirm anyone or would only confirm a plant of theirs. (Amendment XXV)

If it does happen it gives Harris a chance to remind the USA what a younger presidential president looks like one who is neither a septeguinarian or octogenarian and/or a right wing troll.

Harris is tested nationally she was on a winning ticket in 2020 and the winning primary ticket in 2024.

Biden always gave me the impression of a likeable guy.

Harris comes across as unlikeable.

How would you rate her on a scale of unlikeability from 0 to Trump? That is what she is competing with.

I'm pretty sure Biden should be finding out within the next couple of hours, then maybe again tomorrow

then they can go to Jill where she says "you did what" there is a ciccrular beauty to it

Meh , this is earth shattering stuff about Biden and you bring Trump into it, stay focused!

Speaker Mike Johnson has been saying that there may be legal actions to keep Kamala Harris off ballot papers in some states.

The latest in voter suppression, in this case dressed up as faux concern for due democratic process.

The Republican Party is sffering from terminal brain rot.

If Harris is to be the nominee, then spend the next few months only doing interviews with as many friendly, sympathetic reporters, late night TV hosts etc as possible. If there's a debate, Trump likely won't be capable of pinning her down on anything in her past as D.A. It's inanimate carbon rod time. Don't give the Conservative media anything to work with.

Much to the chagrin of those shilling for them, will have to see what November brings for the states.

given the overreaction by Republicans they don’t need to be in a rush to name the VP either. The republicans aren’t exactly keeping their powder dry and are throwing everything at the wall today. Let them talk themselves into a corner and then name a VP that makes them flat footed yet again.

spot on again

I asked you earlier why, if Harris such a poor candidate not just nationally but within Democratic circles, even at this stage, the likes of Newsom, Whitmer showed no interest in a 2024 run.

If I was one of them, why would I jump in at this late stage in order to catch a Hail Mary pass?

Trump is still the favourite to win, and at this stage is still most likely to be the president come January 2025.

The smart play is to wait till 2028 and do a proper well-thought-out campaign.

If they bet the house to try and overturn Trump now, then they are most likely finished politically and damaged goods.

Also, this is not my opinion, but the opinion of many others. Larry Donnelly has mentioned this reason a few times before, that many top Democratic contenders don't want to go up against Trump at this late stage and gamble it all.

So the Democrats offer up Harris to the wolves, if she makes it, the gamble pays off, if she doesn't, well oh well, they tried… she is finished and, well they have Newsom, Whitmer etc.. untainted to offer in 2028.

And if not them… then who are these Democratic candidates that would have more chance of beating Trump, and why don't they think they can beat Harris?

I personally think Michelle Obama would easily beat Trump, but she doesn't have much interest in the job.

The likes of Newsom, I don't know. A California governor won't resonate that much with middle America. Whitmer would do well. They need to pick someone 'normal' and who doesn't come across as a caricature politician.

One thing that Harris could do, is nominate someone like Sanders or say Andrew Wang as VP, which would raise a few eyebrows and would not be a typical Democratic elite establishment pick.

The Democrats appear to be to be still doing politics as if it's 2016, not 2024, they need to widen the talent pool and go for centrist positions that will resonate with swing voters and independents.

I asked this some while back, but why have the Democrats lost the blue-collar working-class vote? Certain Unions are supporting Trump, something that would have been unheard of even 4 years ago. The tides are shifting and there is a re-alignment in US politics. The Democrats need to go for 'Celebrity' or someone normal. Harris aint that.

Not going to happen.
