That Presidential seal of approval for Harris is really helping her in this nomination. Honestly they have to either all endorse her right now or endore another person, they really don't have a lot of time before the election
Kamala Harris momentum already building ... Senior Democrats throwing their support behind her and the rebranding from Biden's campaign targeting the younger voters with the social media image mirroring of, and now endorsement by, Charli XCX ... ... whoever that is
Very interesting to see how past presidents have discussed rivals and how the current method seems to be insults. Obama v McCain seemed to be a battle based on mutual respect for each other. Trump politics has made the world a mess.
The election in the US is so divisive that they're both fighting over a small group of flip voters. Biden lost that flip vote, so whoever takes over (seems likely Harris) will need to win them back. It's not young liberals or blacks, it's blue collar workers who have flipped the most during the past 3 elections.
The Democrats have done that for the past 5 elections Even Clinton primarily focused her campaign on your voters
I've got no problem with her standing, I think she is far more physically capable for the job, with no disrespect to Biden intended. I never even realised she was as old as she was (59 years old) according to wiki. I feel more than comfortable with her being a president, albeit I'm still to read up on her policies. Sadly her mum won't see this moment in history as she died 15 years ago - her dad is still alive (85 years old) although I don't know how much contact she has with him, because her parents divorced when she was a young child, but he appears highly respected in Jamaica (Order of Merit). She's got a younger sister Maya (57 years old).... Maya please log in to view this image
I don't think Harris would be a bad President. I think the entire Western world would sigh in relief if she won actually. I'm just concerned she won't beat Trump
Well we've sorted out British politics, so if we can get her to bin off Trump the world hopefully will be saner place.
This election is crucial imo for ensuring that a liberal progressive approach to politics is maintained across the US, Europe and the Middle East. Thankfully here in the UK and France we’ve chosen that route, but in Europe we’ve got the Dutch, Germans, Hungarians and Italians embracing far right ideology If Trump wins, he will cozy up to the right wing in Europe and he’ll throw Ukraine and Gaza to the wolves.
What are you talking about ffs.... According to you Gaza is already thrown to the wolves, so I'm not really sure why you are blaming Trump for what he might do, yeah the guy is a bellend, but now you're just making sshhite up. It's either genocide according to the book of Piskie or it aint, make your fooking mind up lol. As for the 'right', there is nowt wrong with that, it keeps ****s like you in check. I fully understand your liberal angle, do as I say not as I do, dickhead. Todays bingo number is: bubblegum
She’d be a far better president than Trump, but the GOP will tie her in with Biden’s policies (which have actually managed to get the US back on track with inflation, growth GDP and introduced a good healthcare package for Americans) and they will just say she’s Biden in another guise. From a campaign perspective, the best thing the Dems could do is bring somebody in who the Republicans don’t know how to counter. It would also give those flip voters a chance to weigh up their options between Trump and a brand new candidate. I think the US are less concerned with the novelty factor too. Unlike here where we favour stability and consistency and like to know the long term backgrounds of our politicians, the US have a history of voting for big personalities and ‘showmen’. Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California once.
I am absolutely convinced the best candidate is Gavin Newsom, governor of Cali. The problem with VPs is that they're usually considered a "stooge" to the sitting president and a continuation candidate. It's like if the PM resigns and the Chancellor steps in, you consider them one and the same. So Trump can just continue with a similar rhetoric against Harris as he had against Biden and have similar results. As I have said on here previously, Harris is even further behind in the polls than Biden was, so she's got a mighty job on her hands if she wins the nomination. I think that's a formality btw, Biden shouldn't have endorsed anyone.
