60. Kamala stepping in now would leave her and the party absolutely discredited to the American people

You don't get to firmly stand behind your candidate to only change that days or weeks later. It makes you look disingenuous and extremely vulnerable to your own party. I would not trust this party to backstab Kamala Harris as well then, this party will make her PINO Noir and rush to make Iowa and New Hamshire go first again in 2028 'fixing" the "mistake" of black voters picking Biden Harris in SC

I don't think a replacement is best either. But I do think she has to be seen to be the viable replacement for Biden somaticexperiencing Jul 2024 #12

That Kamala should be more front and center seems absolutely right-on. The rest is at least partly a matter of opinion. somaticexperiencing Jul 2024 #6

Totally agree. She needs to be out there ready to transition in if the need arises. Silent Type Jul 2024 #27

In the unlikely, and so-far denied-by-Biden event of Biden stepping down, Harris would be my choice Silent3 Jul 2024 #7

Correct. brooklynite Jul 2024 #9
