Biden stepping down - now what? (3 Viewers)

I feel like this deserves a separate topic.
What will be the plan for the DNC?
How will this all shake out?

Biden just endorsed Harris, basically making her the nominee imo.

Just posted in a different thread but I think she picks Shapiro for VP.

He's the strongest in my opinion. I would have said Whitmer, but I think she needs to stay in Michigan.

Weren’t the Dems doing this same thing to Harris about 2 years ago? Saying she was weak and they needed a new running mate for Biden?

I'm sure that occurred to some extent, don't exactly recall.. but then the midterms happened on the heels of Roe V Wade and I think that changed the grounds.

Yeah, the Dobbs decision prevented a projected red wave in 2022. It certainly hurts Trump,but is it enough to prevent
him winning the election? I believe it is,but we'll see very soon.

Everyone is underestimating how much the abortion issue is gonna doom the GOP.

Especially with a female nominee, beat that drum till it freaking breaks.

Not enough to compensate for Harris who couldn't even win her own state when she ran for president.

Forgetting the great shark vs electrocution musings already?

Wow! An incumbent actually dropping out 4mo before the election! Crazy times.

You’re underestimating how unpopular Trump is outside his base.

I think there are better Democrat options, and if any were running, Harris may struggle with that. However, against Trump, she just needs to be prepared and competent.

I'm hoping her time as VP has broadened her skillset.

I don't see anyone on the possible lists for replacing Biden that would beat Trump.

Shapiro is probably their best option, but is he seasoned enough?

Harris couldn't even win her own state when she ran for President. It seems like political suicide to nominate her, but she's still a better option than Biden.

A seasoned political person on Twitter was musing today - she has been flawless throughout this horrible mess. Absolutely not one misstep, and as he put it, she is in a field of land mines. I have also read from other political types that she has really grown during her 4 years as VP.

I’m not sure there are better options for this moment in time, with Roe on the ballot.
