This article is bullshit. Biden is not going to back out unless God forces the issue. And if that happens, Harris is the nominee, because she’s on the same ticket. End of story.
All of those other names are only relevant in terms of who Harris might pick as her VP. My money is either on Kloubachar or Whitmer, with Mayorkas as a dark-horse pick intended to troll the House.
OP was trying to convince people yesterday, apparently with their powers of prognostication, that the DNC will drop Biden for another candidate at the convention.
I’d ask them how they know, but they troll me when I ask them questions.
At the risk of you trolling me as usual, can you please explain how you could possibly know something like that will happen six months before the convention?
Not sure if I’m not getting something or you’re not getting something, but it doesn’t seem like a non-sequitur. The idea is that if the DNC chooses its candidates, it can force Biden to step down by pressuring him, forcing him to take the route of “heroically stepping down” (publicly) return2ozma predicts will happen.
Now I don’t think it’s likely because Biden seems as establishment as it gets, but saying that the DNC chooses who wins the primary is not a non-sequitur in that scenario.
The only way she runs is if Biden dies. She’s been too much of a non-entity to have appeal with the party and has significant opposition from the Repubs. I think she’d have a really tough time winning.
The Biden administration should have had her in front of the cameras at every opportunity acting as the face of the administration.
It’s too late now - the choices are locked in. I’m voting for Biden-Harris again but it doesn’t matter because I live in California.
I’m living in one of the safest places in the US in terms of states and cities, but my partner and I are putting together a golden visa/work transfer plan that would drop us in Europe if this election goes south, because I don’t think things are going to get better after that. Think national legislation driven by Texas and Florida.
Same only in Oregon. Harris just isn’t a good candidate, she hasn’t been a particularly effective Vice President and seems to be the source of her own problems.

Oh, there is a non-zero chance that Biden will not be the nominee, but if it happens it will be over his dead body, literally.
Agreed, but that is not what they were claiming. They were claiming the DNC would remove Biden as the frontrunner after deeming him too old.
The DNC won’t remove him. Biden will “heroically” step down (with dementia diagnosis or some other reason) and the DNC will pick the nominee.

Oh so you’re a crazy person. It’s probably all being controlled by the deep state or something eh?
the dnc clearly chooses their candidates, voters-be-damned
That’s a non-sequitur and I’m not sure what that has to do with Biden dropping out. Do you think he’ll drop out of the race as well?

The evidence that Biden will drop out and the DNC will run someone else is a think-piece by Ezra Klein where he doesn’t actually say that?
We warned y’all about Hillary. Now you’re doing it again.
Will never happen as long as Trump is the candidate.
Here’s a scenario:
Trump gets disabled, either medically or legally, whatever.
Republican convention in July picks a new candidate.
Biden dusts his hands off, goes “My work here is done…” and steps aside.
Democratic convention in August picks a new candidate.
Mayorkas isn’t a natural born citizen (Cuban), he can’t be President or VP.
So much for that idea, then
I’m all in for President Katie Porter.
She’s only 50, she can probably run in any of the next 4 elections after this one and still not be Too Old
4?? She can run in the next 8 elections and still be younger than Biden.
Next 4 Presidential elections
Nobody likes Harris. The only way she’s President is if Biden dies.
