USA 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris

[Chief]

They are probably going to need a good interpreter and a defibrillator if this meeting ever goes ahead.

Sad to see a Presidential transition play out this way, so close to a US Presidential Election.

Netanyahu, Biden to meet Thursday​

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with US President Joe Biden on Thursday, the day after the Israeli premier delivers a major speech to the US Congress, a US official told AFP.

The date of the White House meeting had been in the air as Biden recovered in Delaware from Covid, with Israel initially reporting the leaders were to speak on Tuesday.'

Im going to need some proof of life in the next 48 hours

The “call in” from Biden made me think about Kamp Krusty episode, where they watch the tv set on stage of Krusty: “hi kids. Welcome to the Democratic Nomination. I’ll see you all in a few weeks. Until then, I’ve turned this over to my bestest buddy in the whole wide world…. “Kamala Harris”. I want you to treat…. “Kamala Harris” with the same respect you would give me. Now here’s…. “Kamala Harris”.

Biden supporters: ‘you pulled out Joe, how could you?’

Biden: ‘the democratic donors drove a big dump truck full of money up to my house. I’m not made of stone’

It's the vibe, the law, Mabo, the constitution.

The constitution actually is not clear on this. Clear two term limit for President but silent on VP. Would no doubt end up before SCOTUS anyway.

Not true, the constitution is very clear: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States". Obama can't be prez again, therefore can't be veep.

 

[swingdog]

As unlikely as the rumours are, you would think handing over the presidency now would give Harris an advantage.

 

[Seeds]

I'd be astounded if VP Harris doesn't become POTUS well before the election.
More likely in the next week from the sound of things.

From the sound of what things? Made up stuff on social media?

I stand corrected.

Harris/Michelle Obama ticket.

 

[Forward Press]

They will go "open" but it's already over, all the big players have lined up behind Kamala.

Last I heard Barack Obama's endorsement was still pending. He will be the big fish.

Again, happy to be corrected.

Huge advantage. Its weird that republicans are even pushing this line. Are they trying to make kamala seem more presidential before the election?

Flooding the zone with shit and seeing what sticks.

From the sight and sound of the health of Biden in all the legit recordings I've seen of him recently.
Combined with

you would think handing over the presidency now would give Harris an advantage.

Rumours (unsure of source) circulating that the Trump camp are starting to question or doubt their selection of JD Vance.

Would be hillarious if they dropped him from the ticket for being dull.

They're stuck with him after the RNC aren't they?

And appointed a DEI candidate.

 

[Norwegian Blue]

No way would Biden resign early. Nor should he: he's earned the full term and going out in style.

On another note: thread title needs updating.

He’s not backing anyone else. He’ll come out for her at some stage. Probably in a joint appearance I’d imagine

Would stay clear of the rope section in Home Depot if I was him.

IMO he'll wait until she's the official nominee before saying anything. Need to be seen to have an open process even if it's ceremonial and everyone else has stepped aside.

Everyone is on board at this point, Obama is just going to make his endorsement its own news cycle. The Biden announcement followed by an immediate endorsement of Harris from a huge swathe of Democrats looks highly coordinated. They needed to come out of this looking unified and they've succeeded.

So what will happen then to the Thiel and Musk endorsements .. oh, and all the money?

Another twist, and I'm here for it

Will be wheeled out when the polls show her struggling.
It will be crowning the Queen, so to speak

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

'CNN reports that Beyoncé has given Harris her approval for the campaign to use the singer’s song Freedom as its official tune.'

 

[swingdog]

Love that song.

Bigger than Beyonce?
Bigger than Taylor Swift?
