As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself. A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say. Since Biden’s debate debacle on June 27, many Democrats have privately and even openly looked to Harris to step in and succeed Biden as the party’s presidential nominee.

Kneepads didn't even wait for Diaper Joe to 'fall out' of the race before pushing positive polls for wannabe replacements. Expect every potential replacement,ent to have these meaningless positive polls come out over the next week or so. Dems are so great and policies so popular that anyone can replace Diaper Joe and safe the world and democracy. Too bad we have a Constitutional Republic. But low info voters don't have a clue and the line works.

Riiiiggghhhtt. They think she'll be a good president, just like they thought Joe would be. Meaning, they know she's a screw-up but don't care because she has a "D" after her name, and they know the press will make her "the greatest VP/politician/ communicator/whatever" once she's the pick.

Of course they do. They thought FJB would make a good president until he didn't. Even with his brain molding some want him to run. It's not the candidate it's the D which actually stands for a dumbass disaster.

These polls are fake. I'm sure a lot of people will vote for him simply because of the D behind his name but no way I believe significant numbers will. He can't get more than a handful of people to come out to see him no matter where he shows up. There's your true count of how many democrats want him to win.

Have always wondered. All that criticism of Harris. Is it coming from critics (Republicans for the most part) or from Democratic supporters? This doesn't exactly surprise me. Want to get an accurate picture of what people think of Harris? Have to go to the Democrats that voted her in office in the first place.

I truly do not believe Democrats seriously consider Kamala would be a good candidate for president. She was selected based on DIE criteria. If Democrats bypass her they will pay dearly for not selecting her to replace Biden. After all, if Biden had died or was unable to serve as president for some other reason, she was chosen as his replacement.

Kamala Harris Picks Tim Walz As Running

Posted by OhioNick 8/7/2024 1:01:51 AM Post Reply
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to serve as her running mate in the 2024 presidential race. [SNIP] As governor, some of Walz’ political accomplishments include ensuring tuition-free meals at participating state universities, enshrining abortion rights into state law, banning conversion therapy and providing protections for gender-affirming healthcare. [SNIP] Walz also signed a bill last May expanding voting rights in Minnesota for an estimated 55,000 formerly incarcerated residents.

Iran has “domination” over American interests in the region and can strike the U.S. in “less than half a day,” according to a senior Iranian Ayatollah who called for “blood vengeance” against the United States for numerous “American crimes,” following Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination in the heart of Tehran last week. In a sermon which aired on Iran’s Khorasan Razavi TV on Friday, Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda declared in the shrine city of Mashhad, that Iran’s “blood vengeance” should extend beyond Israel to include the United States. “We have to apply this blood vengeance against the United States as well,” he declared.

A Canadian farmer who wants to build a house on his land is being forced to pay $400,000 for a government-mandated archeological dig on his property - and could face jail time if he does not comply. Bruce Cassel, 75, was required to get an archeological assessment of his Ontario farmland when he decided to build a dream retirement home for him and his wife more than four years ago. During the dig, archeologists discovered bits of stone identified as Indigenous artifacts. Now the owner could face massive fines or even jail time unless he pays to complete the final stages of the assessment, which he said totaled $400,000, National Post reported.

With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.
