I support Harris but why are you telling this person to stop. edisdead Jul 2024 #55

Absolutely not. Harries has gathered her foreign policy xperience and has the chops to do the job. Ninga Jul 2024 #3

She would be a GREAT VP for Kamala! beaglelover Jul 2024 #4

Biden has withdrawn. Why would we be obligated to support someone who is not the nominee? tritsofme Jul 2024 #15

I voted for Kamala to step in if Joe stepped out. You gonna take my vote away? quaint Jul 2024 #19

I voted for Joe Biden in the primary. There weren't other names on the ballot. tritsofme Jul 2024 #21

I didn't know it was possible to vote for Joe and not Kamala. quaint Jul 2024 #22

VP candidates typically do not appear on the primary ballot. tritsofme Jul 2024 #24

That is untrue... Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #80

No it's not. That is a function of how the campaign is registered with the FEC. tritsofme Jul 2024 #94

You would lose 96 Million dollars and the Black vote. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #65

Correct. sheshe2 Jul 2024 #87

Maybe that is the goal of certain folks. Hint hint Eliot Rosewater Jul 2024 #101

You have a food fight at the conventiion and until then no one can really campaign for the presidency. I am hoping Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #71

You thought wrong...it is now the Kamala Harris campaign...Biden who was a portrayed is a broker loser had a 96 Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #66

Do you know when the convention is? Do you when early voting starts....seriously. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #79

It is, however one must understand ... sheshe2 Jul 2024 #92

Pull yourself together tomorrow. vanlassie Jul 2024 #96

EarlG just made it clear that we are free to support any Democrat Polybius Jul 2024 #27

Yes... He did so quickly and I appreciate his clarifying. hlthe2b Jul 2024 #29

I think you should go for it...and when we lose the black vote a big who cares right? It is not like we need them to wii Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #67

We won't Polybius Jul 2024 #74

How do we win if we can't campaign until after the convention...just before early voting... The delegate are Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #76

Earl said we are back to primary rules Tree Lady Jul 2024 #44

Yes... I responded to that change earlier and am glad he clarified. hlthe2b Jul 2024 #48

Well to be fair I didn't see where we weren't edisdead Jul 2024 #56

That is just until something is decided. We are not having another primary. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #82

Read this: "primary rules" iemanja Jul 2024 #75

I am well aware of the rules...but reality is that if we wait to have a nominee after the convention. We have no time to Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #83

The fact is there isn't a nominee yet iemanja Jul 2024 #93

Ummm.. What about Kamala Harris? Ocelot II Jul 2024 #7

To be very candid, I don't think she can win. tritsofme Jul 2024 #10

Harris just had the largest single day fund raiser in history Lifeafter70 Jul 2024 #61

I hope I am wrong! I have felt much better about her as the day goes on. tritsofme Jul 2024 #62

Kamala is going under the bus too. And we lose 96 million dollars. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #69

Huh? Care to explain your alternative facts statement? onenote Jul 2024 #111

She is my 1st choice as well. cilla4progress Jul 2024 #8

Why must Harris be second? Retrograde Jul 2024 #39

You are right cilla4progress Jul 2024 #42

No prob. The press rarely mentions Harris's executive experience Retrograde Jul 2024 #43

Interesting - cilla4progress Jul 2024 #45

I DO think she is going to need someone edisdead Jul 2024 #59

It'll be Harris. orange jar Jul 2024 #9

If we wait until the covention, we will lose...no time for campaigning. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #78

Not going to pick candidates right now, but I'd love for Harris/Whitmer to kick the two GOPer men in rearend. Silent Type Jul 2024 #14

I'd love to see her as Kamala's running mate calguy Jul 2024 #16

It has to be Kamala. MontanaMama Jul 2024 #18

NO! Harris is the only logical choice! Unrepentant Fenian Jul 2024 #20

Biden endorsed Harris. Elessar Zappa Jul 2024 #35

No We are likely to face a contested convention...the last one was in 68...which led to Nixon's election. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #38

I'm not sure about that. Elessar Zappa Jul 2024 #40

And we have less about one month before early voting starts...in the meantime, the GOP campaigns and we can't. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #88

Replace a Black woman Vice President with a White Woman? Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #37

I'd like to see a poll on who Afican Americans support to be our candidate Polybius Jul 2024 #58

You think that if Kamala Harris is thrown under the bus, it won't affect the vote? Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #72

I think if faced in a primary, she wouldn't have as much black support as people think Polybius Jul 2024 #73

Maybe for VP. nt ecstatic Jul 2024 #46

I think she'd be great, but Harris is the only one I can see Democrats quickly coalescing behind... Silent3 Jul 2024 #47

FYI SocialDemocrat61 Jul 2024 #50

She said no. RandySF Jul 2024 #51

No, this is NO way to unify the party and the country. elleng Jul 2024 #52

It will be President Harris, my gov is happy where she is. nt ImNotGod Jul 2024 #53

Harris has the Biden/Harris funds and campaign apparatus in place. 33taw Jul 2024 #54

You are wrong about deRien Jul 2024 #84

I haven't made any claim about her international experience? Maybe you are responding to someone else. 33taw Jul 2024 #97

In any other race Whitmer would be my choice. However, Biden endorsed Harris and I want to stay loyal to his wishes Quixote1818 Jul 2024 #68
