What Now for Kamala Harris?
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/21/2024 3:30:14 PM
Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris after he posted a letter to X saying he was dropping out of the race—but not until 30 minutes after his announcement. Did he forget her? Harris is doing okay in polls taken since it became a possibility that Biden would drop out. But few Democrats will make the case that she is qualified to lead the United States. And once the American people get a good look at and listen to Harris, her support among non-Democrats could crater. Her biggest advantage is that Biden's $234 million war chest will be hers. No other candidate can claim it,

President Joe Biden’s Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle failed to answer whether shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks carried the firearm to the rooftop or if it was already there before the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Cheatle also failed to answer when the last sweep occurred ahead of Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Director, your agency has a no fail mission, and on Saturday, July 13, your agency spectacularly failed. The failure resulted in the death of Corey Comperatore and serious injury of two other rally attendees,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) noted during Monday’s House Oversight Committee at a hearing,
Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon. Everyone saw his post on X. In a follow-up message on X, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential nomination, and Democrat leaders began lining up (with the notable exception of Barack Obama) to endorse her. The controversy over Biden’s dementia and ability to perform the duties of president appears to be over, although the nagging and quite large issue remains of whether he is able to perform the duties of president for the next seven months. And yet almost immediately, questions about the way Biden withdrew began to swirl,

Joe Biden’s presidency is over. The old man can’t hack it, announcing earlier this afternoon that he’s exiting the race, endorsing Kamala Harris, his vice president, and finishing the rest of his term in isolation. But where is the president? A tweet of his ‘I quit’ letter was released, which did not sit well with many folks, and then nothing. We’re left to speculate what is going on with Joe Biden, and none of it is good. [Tweets]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in whatever room the good Doctor Jill is currently pacing.
It actually happened. Joe Biden has succumbed to the pressure campaign from within his own party apparatus and has endorsed Kamala Harris. Assuming the Democrat convention moves forward with her coronation...er, I mean election...expect her campaign to center on three issues: abortion, abortion, and abortion. As of this writing, Biden had won 3904 delegates, whereas 5, 3, and zero had gone to Democratic challengers Jason Palmer, Dean Phillips, and Marianne Williamson, respectively. There were no delegates for Kamala Harris, or for Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom,
In the hours since Joe Biden conceded defeat in the 2024 election to Donald Trump, there have been a lot of weird things happening. For starters, Kamala Harris is now working to secure support for her presidential bid. Some Democrats, like the Clintons, have endorsed her. Others, like the Obamas, have instead expressed support for some kind of process to select a new ticket.
Manchin 2024?
Perhaps the weirdest thing is that Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.V.) is now considering reregistering as a Democrat and running for the party’s presidential nomination.
CNN’s Jake Tapper was first to break this development:
Poll: Trump Opens Up 7-Point Lead in Michigan,

Bests Biden in Every Region Including Detroit 1 reply
Former President Donald Trump has the edge on President Joe Biden “in every region” of Michigan, translating to a robust seven-point lead, according to an EPIC-MRA/Detroit Free Press poll.
The survey, mostly conducted after Trump’s near-assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, finds that 49 percent of Michigan voters back the 45th president in his bid to return to the Oval Office. Biden takes 42 percent of the response, while another nine percent are undecided.
Per the Free Press’s Washington correspondent Todd Spangler, Trump is ahead in all corners of the state, including Democrats’ biggest stronghold–the Detroit Metro Area:
Trump led in every region of the state, including in metro Detroit —
Pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. said Sunday that Vice President Kamala Harris “covered up” President Joe Biden’s “mental decline.”
MAGA Inc. wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead.”
The group also shared a video clip of Harris saying, “Our president is in good shape, good health, tireless, vibrant, and I have no doubt about the work that we have done.”
A narrator for the video said, “They know Kamala owns this failed record.”
A Tennessee woman says a massive sign supporting President Joe Biden has hurt her business.
“I had so many people commenting saying, ‘I’ll never step foot in that business,’” said Angie Monahan, who owns and operates Honey Blossom Boutique in Lenoir City, according to a Tuesday report by WVLT-TV in Knoxville.
“This is how I make my livelihood. This is how my manager makes her livelihood, and I’ve spent seven years building this business. I can’t let one sign tear it apart,” she said.
Monahan leases space from the building’s owner, who put up the sign and has so far not spoken to the media about it. Monahan, however, has plenty to say.
In an extraordinary moment, a heartfelt prayer was offered by an air traffic controller for former President Donald Trump’s plane, Trump Force One, as it departed Milwaukee early Friday morning.
This rare event occurred after Trump and former First Lady Melania concluded their presence at the Republican National Convention and Trump’s recent assassination attempt last week.
Former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump left Milwaukee at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Friday.
They boarded Trump Force One, the nickname given to the Trump Organization’s Boeing 757, drawing a parallel to the official U.S. presidential aircraft, Air Force One.
As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, an unusual event unfolded.
What Happens Now?

Well, that happened.
After weeks of speculation and conflicting reports, President Joe Biden walked away from his reelection campaign Sunday, and soon afterward, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.
But does that mean she’s automatically the Democrat presidential nominee, and it’s now a Trump-Harris contest? No. It’s not going to be that easy. In fact, things could get quite complicated as we enter unprecedented territory.
Our sister site PJ Media breaks down some of the issues going forward:
There are significant legal hurdles complicating Biden’s potential withdrawal. For example, in Wisconsin, a candidate cannot remove his name from the ballot except in the event of his death....

President Biden made the historically rare decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and days after a dismal debate showing.
The 81-year-old president’s exit from the race – months before Election Day – comes after a debate performance against former President Donald Trump in which the incumbent appeared infirm and was at times incoherent – alarming Democratic donors and strategists.
Biden’s withdrawal is expected to set off a free-for-all for the Democratic nomination for president.

Fauci Diagnoses Trump

"It seems to have been a superficial wound to the ear, and that’s all. . . I don’t think there is much more to it I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage."
That was Dr. Anthony Fauci last week on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Dr. Fauci changed his diagnosis from Trump’s “wound” to “injured,” as though Trump had been involved in an accident. In reality, Dr. Fauci never wanted to treat gunshot wounds, and that’s why he became a

President Joe Biden hasn't been seen in public since last week when the White House announced he contracted COVID-19 and was headed to his Delaware beach house to recover. "Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation," White House Press Secretary

Hollywood celebrities who have despondent for weeks over Joe Biden’s political prospects went wild Sunday following the president’s announcement that he won’t be seeking re-election. Numerous stars paid perfunctory tribute to Biden’s so-called “accomplishments” while prematurely anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s next nominee.
Stars including Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Bette Midler, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Cryer all weighed in.

The New York Times (NYT) editorial board wants Vice President Kamala Harris off the 2024 ticket because of “profound concerns” about her electability.
The push to dump the nation’s first black vice president was posted just after President Joe Biden announced he would not run in the 2024 election — and it could threaten Democratic turnout in November.
The board first provided some throat-clearing praise for Biden: By agreeing to step down when his term ends in January, he is greatly increasing the chance that his party is able to protect the nation from the dangers of returning Donald Trump to the presidency.
Biden and Kamala Both Refuse to Meet Bibi

Bibi Netanyahu, who is in the midst of a war with Hamas, is flying to the United States to speak to a joint session of Congress.
Kamala Harris, as President of the Senate, is supposed to preside. She is declining to do so, and has also declined to even meet with the Israeli Prime Minister. Joe Biden has already declined due to "health reasons," which probably don't include cooling down to room temperature, although to be honest, as I write this, nobody is certain about that. His doctor claims he is still able to get upright, but nobody else has seen that. If Biden is well and not infectious,
For some Republicans, the president’s decision not to seek a second term isn’t enough: They want him to resign, too. That’s tough to take seriously. When President Joe Biden announced that he was ending his re-election bid, he specifically referenced his eagerness to do the job he was elected to do for the next six months. “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” the Democratic incumbent said in a written statement.

When President Biden leaves the White House in January, it will mark the spectacular end of a career in politics that spanned five decades.
Biden, 81, ended his 2024 re-election effort Sunday in the wake of his disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which precipitated calls from the Democratic establishment for the octogenarian career politician to drop out of the race.
Here’s a look back at the president’s more than 50 years in public office:

In the church I visited with a friend, the pastor urged people to “pray for the country.” In the sermon that followed, he spoke of Moses’s “goodness and meekness,” saying the Old Testament’s greatest prophet “didn’t need a ‘Make Israel Great Again’ hat because he wasn’t “marketing his personality.” Much of the congregation laughed at the expense of a man who nearly gave his life for his country the day before. There were no prayers offered up for President Trump, the firefighter who valiantly died protecting his family,

While Biden still has no scheduled events on his official calendar Harris, the presumptive Democrat nominee after landing a series of high profile endorsements over the past 24 hours, is headed to Wilmington Monday afternoon for a campaign event later this week.
