I wanted Joe Biden to stay in the race. I wrote to the White House and the President expressing my satisfaction with him and his efforts to make our country a better place for us all. I wished him a speedy recovery from his latest bout with COVID. But now, since the dear man who is our President has dropped out and passed the torch, VP Kamala Harris must be our nominee in order for us to win. She has worked right along side President Biden in her role. She is more than qualified and she should be the first woman president in the history of our country. I am all for a “primary” for the VP spot on the ticket but if we have an open convention, I completely agree with Rep. Clyburn that we will most certainly lose this race. Anyone who would refer to such a scenario as a “coronation” is aiding and abetting Trump and the Republicans.

I am convinced, like most here at DU, there are nefarious forces at work here. Now that Biden has succumbed to the pressure, we cannot give anymore. We need to all come together around VP Harris immediately!

That said, does anyone have thoughts (besides Josh Hawley and Allen Lichtman) about President Biden resigning and giving the VP the incumbency? I don’t really know what to think about that idea at this point.

I thank Joe Biden for everything he has done in his life to make our country a better place.

1. DLC

I believe this was another example of the remnants of the DLC eff'ing us over. I wonder how many states will not have the Democratic Presidential Candidate on the ballot. That is the first question. You know the Republicans will do everything to exploit what is happening.

2. Agreed.

I have seem Mark Elias’s message that the dem will be on the ballot in all 50 states but I don’t feel confident of that given the status of our court system, especially SCOTUS!
