But, obviously, she'd have to change her mind.

Maybe she would now, though, since Biden is already out and she wouldn't be stepping on the President's toes.

Anyone other than Vice President Harris would inevitably create a yooge mess where those are concerned.

If we're just polling fantasy candidates at this point since Michelle Obama has about as much of a shot running as JFK.

We can support the president's choice and still have Michelle on the ticket. My first choice would be Harris-Whitmer, but Harris-Obama could work too if it helps unity before the convention.

I do not trust the polls especially since we had polls showing President Biden losing when everything I see tells me that he could have won that election.

When this person has expressed over and over again that they are not interested,
p e r I o d

They should be called out for their blatant disregard and incompetence!

I think she enjoys having a private life after being in the spotlight for 9 years.

Plus Newsweek is no longer a real news source - they are more like the New York Post in creating clickbait.

The polls are not reflecting an accurate picture of the electorate. In some of the battleground states, where there are Senate races, they are all over the place and impossible to reconcile the data that is coming in. They are being manipulated and they will be manipulated, now that Democrats are going to have an open convention, in favor of who the billionaire donors want, since they have succeeded in pushing Joe out but they haven't indicated who they think can win or who they want to support. I don't trust them not to simply be infiltrating the party to set things up for Trump.

Bottom line, good grief people, put your thinking cap on. We need a candidate to unite the 65% of the Never Trumpers in the electorate. Basically, that's anyone with name recognition, who is younger, can put a full sentence together and point out that their opponent is a rapist, child molesting, adulterous convicted felon who has conspired to lie about the party platform in the form of Project 2025 and wants to pass a national ban restricting women's health care.

She has no governing experience, and she's not interested.

We just got out of one mess. Don't start another one.

Even if the nation is burning. There is something about her not wanting politics.
