7.23.2024: New poll: Harris leads Djt 44 % to 42% in US presidential race
'Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error.'

Jamie Raskin re: The shooting at djT's rally in PA
"Yesterday’s Oversight Committee hearing identified two urgent priorities in the wake of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the accompanying mass shooting. The first was the need for Director Cheatle to step down and give new leadership at the Secret Service the opportunity to swiftly address this crisis, rebuild the trust of Congress and the American people, and guarantee security to protectees. We accomplished that today.
"The other urgent need was to ban assault weapons to protect the rest of us from mass shootings like the one that took place in Butler. As I made clear during yesterday’s hearing, a weapon that can be used to commit a mass shooting at an event under the full protection of the Secret Service and state and local police is a danger to schoolchildren, Walmart shoppers and congregants in church, synagogue and mosque services. As a weapon of war, the AR-15 has no legitimate place in our society. Congress must act now."

Unlike Maga-publicans' devotion to an authoritative 'idol'...
Democrats adhere to democratic ideals
A 'Goodbye' wave to Djt from JRB
Biden's departure from the presidential race is his final Shut up Man! to Djt.
Djt has evolved...
...from a cold-blooded snake...
to a cold-blooded snake with much more poisonous venom
'Black Voters Matter' Writes Open Letter:
LaTosha Brown and Cliff Albright, co-founders of Black Voters Matter (BVM), along with April England-Albright, the national legal director of BVM, have denounced calls for President Joe Biden to step down.
In a statement released on Friday, the trio urged Democrats to refrain from urging the 81-year-old president to withdraw from his reelection campaign. They emphasized the historic progress made by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for Black voters during their administration, such as promoting entrepreneurship, increasing access to homeownership and expanding access to quality affordable healthcare.
“To the majority of Black Voters, the Biden-Harris ticket has delivered on enough of those promises to stand with this ticket today. In spite of this, the recent nervous cry for Biden to step aside—led largely by white congresspeople, pundits, and donors—threatens to mute and overlook the voices of Black Voters” the trio penned.
“Such a step by the Democratic Party would not only impact the enthusiasm of Black Voters in this year’s general election, but it would impact Black turnout for decades to come while deepening the widespread belief that the Democratic Party takes our voters for granted.”

Djt's lucky summer political 'honeymoon' will soon be over...
Into the autumn season of...
- A re-energized, reunifying Democratic convention
- Merchan sentencing of Djt
- Emboldened Biden at many rallies and town halls
- Kamala tearing JD apart at VP debate
- Biden bouncing back and rebutting Djt in a second debate
- Many millions hitting BLUE BALLOTS in November!
Djt's speech boomed, drifted, then sank
'Trump's RNC speech went about 40 minutes longer than planned because he knew he was bombing. Trump was like a comedian bombing who was trying to at least end with a big laugh. But that moment never came. Trump just opened the door for us to win--and we will!'

Biden campaign manager tells 'Morning Joe' Biden is staying in race
“We are built for the close election that we're in, and we see the path forward. The President is the leader of our campaign and of the country” and the “best person to take on Trump.”
“I'm not here to say that this hasn't been a tough several weeks for the campaign. There's no doubt that it has been, and we've definitely seen some slippage in support, but it has been a small movement.”
“We know that people are not moving from Joe Biden to Donald Trump,” O'Malley Dillon says. “What they're doing is they're saying to us, 'Can he do it?' And the President saying, ‘Yes, I can.’”
She claims: “We have multiple pathways to victory.”
