    What could happen at the convention?
    "With Biden stepping aside, Democrats technically start with an open convention. But realistically, his endorsement pushes Democrats into murky territory.

    The immediate burden is on Harris to solidify support across almost 4,000 delegates from the states, territories and District of Columbia, plus more than
    700 so-called superdelegates that include party leaders, certain elected officials and former presidents and vice presidents.

    Yet, fair or not, Harris also has not been viewed as an especially beloved or empowered vice president. The best scenario for her and Democrats is to quickly
    shore up support and project a united front. Democrats could even go forward with their plans for an early virtual vote – a move they’d planned to make sure
    Biden was selected ahead of Ohio’s general election ballot deadline."

    What happens next: Joe Biden wants to pass the baton to Kamala Harris. Here's how that might work

    How soon before Republicans storm Washington and try to hang JD Vance?

    Has she held a press conference since Biden quit? I’m guessing she was given notice of Biden’s quitting and her team was given ample time to draft questions to be given to some friendly press ahead of the press conference.

    The base is opening up their wallets:


    And a number of party leaders have already endorsed her.

    Per CBS’s special report, Joe Manchin has indicated he is considering reregistering as a Democrat to seek the nomination.

    Honestly that’s an interesting thought IMO. He may actually be able to peel some voters off Trump whereas I think Kamala is mostly reenergizing existing Democrat voters.

    Ha! If there's something Democrats are hankering for, it's a 76 year old conservative white man who describes himself as "pro-life" and abandoned the party.

    Joe Mancin reregistering as a Democrat and seek the nomination?

    He would get a lot of moderate Republican votes for sure.

    Manchin can grow some balls and run for the republicans if he wants. He is already registered in the whogivesacrap party.

    Harris is polling worse than Biden with Independents in the battle ground states.

    And literally zero Democrats. Why exactly would the Democratic party nominate a Republican as the Democratic candidate for president??

    You did not get enough attention in the other thread trying to peddle this stupidity, so you had to create yet another thread for your silliness? Bravo.

    Headed for Wild West. You may not like what you started. he has a better chance than Kamala at top and down ballot.

    Welcome to the Democratic Party. where someone ELSE decides a primary for you because you have no say.
