She's not the one "behind" it, but it sure did pick up steam when she committed to it.

My aunt was probing me yesterday about my thoughts on JD Vance and his "picture perfect American story" and I should have just told her that I don't give a shit about the dude's background if his party's agenda is just to fuck me out of spite.

Yeah I don't think he has any plans or intent to drop out.

I don't think so. They're still barrelling forward with the virtual roll call vote to lock him in before the actual convention. I think the simplest solution is he's trying to mollify the age people by implying "maybe you're right that I can't serve the full four years, but fortunately Kamala is already ready so calm down and support us."

I think he is trying to emphasize her role as successor in the administration. Not because he's dropping out, but as a mild concession to the age complaints. The theory being he can calm that storm without dropping out simply by boosting his #2.

I assume you're asking because Nate Silver was in the vanguard of the "Joe's too old" brigade?

I think he's trying to thread the needle real hard https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-lauds-harris-saying-vp-could-be-us-president-2024-7

@Azalar Hex tell your cat happy birthday

what the fuck did I just read

Probably trying to lock in flipping Sherrod Brown's seat with home state turnout.

She hadn't been talked about in weeks, and once I saw she had a speaking slot I knew she was officially out of the running.
