Re: Senators... Different states have different appointment/special election rules. I don't know them off hand, but that doesn't automatically dismiss Kelly.

Obama hasn't endorsed Harris yet.

 

If they have a sense of theater and he is going to be a team player, he puts her name in nomination at the convention.

With Kelly, it would trigger an appointment and special election in 2026 per Arizona law.

It isn't without risk, but it's not a deal breaker of one thinks that another candidate can win there next cycle.

The safest picks would be Cooper, Walz or Beshear... Cooper and Beshear were both AGs when Kamala was AG from California, so they are going to be in the upper tier of people considered I would imagine

Again, what is priority #1?   Keeping Trump out of the White House.    Everything else takes a back seat.

Look, it's gonna be interesing at the Convention.   I know most think it's gonna be Hoynes, but I am sure some past scandal will pop up.   Bingo Bob Russell doesn't exactly get anyone excited.   Eric Baker is the Governor from a swing state, so that helps him, but I would pay close attention to Matt Santos.    Just something about that guy.

I bet the DNC is going to get millions of dollars overnight.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump refuses to debate Kamala. "Agreed to debate Biden not a delegitimate candidate".

Or refuses to debate "until Biden resigns", as if that would happen.

Nailed it.

Saw a guy driving down 94 and he had a bumper sticker that said   TAXATION IS THEFT.      --- As he drove down a paved road, under safe and sturdy overpasses,  things paid for with fair dust, I guess.

Just gives her an attack line to use. It's campaign malpractice.

Then Kamala can show up and answer questions and they can throw it to an empty podium for a minute.

I have no idea what the polls will do with this, but Trump will get a lot of pressure from the GOP to change his mind if the GOP does find itself losing ground now.

Honestly, I think it's better for Trump to skip out on the debate than to be eviscerated by Harris.

Not debating doesn't serve Trump well. She'll likely do something like this, or a town hall, and excel in that forum.

I think he doesn't want to debate her... His performance last month was awful as well.

But it's telling if he won't do it, and it's not a hard message to sell

But it's Trump, he doesn't believe he can lose at anything.

Going from chaos to unifying around Kamala in one afternoon is either the best or second best thing the Democratic Party could have done.

The other is not creating the chaos in the first place.
