I've really not paid any attention to Kamala Harris whatsoever. Know pretty much zero about her. I just watched a couple of clips, and she at least seems genuinely likeable and relatable in a way that Hilary really wasn't. Given the average voter is pretty disengaged and many will only be paying her attention now, that has to be some kind of asset.

VPs tend to remain the the background and as a result, those of us who don’t follow US politics are often less aware of what they do. Even Biden himself, during his term as Obama’s Vice President was not seen or heard from all that much but they do a lot behind the scenes.
Biden would not endorse her if he was not sure of her ability and commitment. He’s a wise old owl.

I reckon they planned this all along, a single term president, but kept Biden until last minute. Then just after the Republican convention, after the Trump crowd have invested a lot in going on about Biden being too old, then bam! He’s gone, here’s a new not-old candidate. Who’s the doddery old fool now? Is age an issue or not? Where’s all the convention footage attacking Harris that will stick in people’s memory? Played like fools.

The last time this happened was when Lyndon B Johnson stood down in March 1968.
Interesting article on what happened.

He doesn’t have much of anything really… other than a misplaced sense of his own relevance.

It could work against him. Joe steps down, sacrifices his career, while Trump is seen as the petulant narcissist he is. More please Donald, dig your own grave

Is so vanilla
Biden standing down in favour of Harris, leaving her to fight the race as incumbent would be a bold move.
He could probably get away with it, if he said something about health checks following that debate, made the decision following medical advice, etc.

Whoa. Crazy times. So it's Harris.
Probably wants to cite some heath issues to pull it off properly. I don't want it to look like he was bullied out. That would look somewhat weak.

That’s what is necessary and if successful will put Trump in a tailspin.
All that he’ll have to work with is his unfounded assertion that Kamala is a terrible person… as he does with anyone who gets the better of him.
I don’t know if even he would be stupid enough to use her multi-racial identity and her sex against her.

My opinion is that he was a lifelong scumbag.

petee isn't a scumbag. He has questionable views about wildlife, but is otherwise OK.

Kiss of death from the Clintons.
The only question that the Democrat leadership have to ask: what candidate can deliver those 6 or 7 swing states? That's all that matters.
I'm not convinced Harris is the candidate to win those key 6 or 7 swing states. It'll be interesting to see if there is any sort of momentum for a Stop Harris candidate within the Democratic Party in the coming days. There's only a small window of opportunity to get someone else in.

Oops. My apologies to Petee. I thought I was actually replying to a post about - and referring to - Biden.
Petee's actually my favourite Urban 75 Manhattanite Left Communist . . . and there's so many to chose from.
