    Oh boy, I can’t wait for armchair pundits who were calling for Joe to step down to now turn around and start to nitpick Harris as if that wasn’t going to be the obvious successor.

    I’m 100% behind Harris or anyone who gets the Dem nom. Trump must be stopped.

    This is still a battle for America’s soul. Are we going to accept the first female president or the first convicted felon president? I sure hope the left turns out for this one, even if they aren’t super stoked about it, because we might never recover from another Trump disaster.

      She’s an improvement and is sufficient to beat Trump.

      I’m not going to discourage party leadership when they’re actually listening for once.

        100% agree. I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t have just as much of a chance to beat Trump as Biden did, when Biden was essentially coasting on the “not Trump” vote anyway. That’s not to say he didn’t have legitimate achievements during his term - he is doing a fantastic job as president, but he doesn’t do a great job at communicating that when the people that need to hear it are watching. His political messaging/timing is terrible.

        Hopefully bringing Kamala into the forefront of the race will give the party a jolt of energy since it seems like a majority of the average voters approve of Biden stepping down. I’m just happy that we can finally shift the conversation away from age and aptitude and focus on the issues that people are going to actually turn out for - the economy, Dobbs, and SCOTUS nominations/reform.
