If Biden steps down, which is a strong possibility, Harris becomes President under the Constitution. In any event does anyone really think she is not now heavily involved in "Presidential" decisions? No, I do not think she is heavily involved in "Presidential decisions". The Clinton's want her, but the Obama's do not. Both factions are hugely instrumental in the Democratic Party. I think there is a bit of an internal power struggle going on here within the Party. The argument they are currently having is whether to hold an "Open" nomination Congress, where anyone can put themselves forward, or a "Closed" nomination Congress where only the annointed (Harris) can run. The Clinton's want a closed one, the Obama's want an open one. Then there is the question of finances. Any money raised/donated by the Biden/Harris ticket can only be used by one of those two people. This is Federal Law. If it is not, then it has to be returned to those who donated. Here we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. If they choose someone other than Harris, then the money has to be returned, and new money raised by the new candidate. This will be pretty difficult to achieve in a matter of weeks. Then there are the optics. How would it look if the box ticking Democrats replaced a black woman with a white man? So, they are limited to replacing Harris with either another woman who is white, or a black woman. The only person who fits the bill is Michelle Obama, but apparently she hated every second of her time in the White House and has vowed never to return. However, this is politics. Is this why the Obama's want an Open Congress, so Michelle could step forward? Maybe she has been told that if she win's the election she wouldn't have to do much as the people in the background will run things as they have been doing for Biden? Conjecture

I will ignore the blatant misogyny. On COVID, you obviously didn't watch Trump's press conferences on the topic (bleach anyone?) and sight of the top medics in the room squirming and rolling their eyes as the stream of banal ignorance came out of his mouth. Mr Accuser...coming from the point of Slander again are we...🙄 Do you even understand what the word that you have accused me of in Misogyny, and it's meaning? As I never did that btw. Anyway.. As for the bleach thing...I have personally seen the whole video of this situation and it was heavily edited and he said something completely different to which was shown and which I guess you have only watched? I would search for the whole video but there is no point as you will only dismiss it and probably not even watch it with any unbiased stance. But that's the main stream media for ya! "boring,dull bird that basically slept her way to the top "

Meanwhile As reported today by Bloomberg
"Democrats have reported a surge in donations, with the cash pile growing by more than $50 million, a record for the 2024 campaign. Still, some donors are suggesting the party should have a contest to select its presidential nominee."

They may not have an alternative.

Jill Biden wow, fantastic body, great hair, beautiful skin, just think all of that going too waste tonight. The second time you have posted this, and in just a total of 10 posts, this suggests you are just looking for a wind-up. I suggest you keep postings like this on your home forum.

Kamala Harris backed by Nancy Pelosi as key Democrats line up to endorse VP..by Nadia Ragozhina and Nomia Iqbal.ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/577f/live/0adfa990-4848-11ef-b74c-bb483a802c97.jpgUS Vice-President Kamala Harris makes her first public appearance since President Joe Biden left the 2024 race on Sunday She praises Biden, saying she is "deeply grateful for his service to our nation" More leading Democrats are backing Harris as the party's new presidential nominee, as her campaign sees a surge in donations Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says her support for Harris is "official, personal and political" Biden had faced weeks of increasing calls to step aside - he'll stay on as president for the rest of the term But Donald Trump has echoed other Republicans, saying, "if he can't run for office, he can't run our country" ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/7/22/6b062120-53d2-43c0-81e7-73092acde640.jpgichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/7/22/6f26d778-68d7-4d99-b61d-966fe2daa079.pngichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/7/22/3f85c140-b416-40a9-b56b-38938a65a40f.jpgKamala Harris, 59, is the first woman, and first black and Asian-American, to serve as vice-president. She was born in Oakland, California, to immigrant parents from India and Jamaica, and studied at one of the nation's preeminent historically black colleges and universities, Howard University in Washington DC. Harris previously worked as a prosecutor, including as district attorney of San Francisco and she was the first woman and first black person to serve as California's attorney general. In 2016, she became only the second African-American woman to serve in the US senate. She also unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic nomination for presidency in 2020. She married lawyer Doug Emhoff in 2014, and is stepmother to his children Cole and Ella.

Why do they keep saying she is from "immigrant parents"? Trump's mother was Scottish and therefore an immigrant. His wife is an immigrant as well.
Just saying.

Harris. Let's not forget when she ran for the Democratic Nomination she only got 1% of her own parties vote, and promptly dropped out. Even her own party didn't rate her! So, it was a major surprise when she got the nod to become VP. I'm sure it had nothing to do with her being a "woman of colour", oh no siree.

Kim Cheadle,the Secret Service Director has resigned after the poor job her people did in protecting Donald Trump in the recent assassination attempt.
Hopefully they'll get the best person available to replace her.

Lots of questions asked about the competence of Trumps security at the assinattion attempt. Maybe if they hired the best candidates for the job,instead of worrying about quotas, the ratio of women to men etc,the assassination attempt would not of gone as far as it did and the poor man that died,would still be alive. Oh god The woman,Kim Cheadle, in charge of protecting Trump,on being asked why the bloke on the roof was'nt sooner dealt with, she said, "we did'nt know he was dangerous". How did she get the job!

How did that woman get the top job at the Post Office here ?...it isnt for what they know obviously. A lot of the US armed forces are quite inefficient so I dont expect their Secret service to be any better, Secret service...they all wear dark suits,white shirts and sunglasses so not really that secret. Positive discrimination and quotas probably havent helped,its bound to lower moral, also been reading about the drinking culture amongst some agents and the womanising on foreign missions, come across as lacking discipline and a professional approach to their work.

Ah, I see. So your comments on the American Services are predicated upon the "Men in Black" movie series. Explains a lot

Explains a lot I have never watched it.....but if you look at the pics of Trumps near assassination you will see the 'uniform' of the not so Secret service,you dont seem very observant perhaps you should apply for a job with them.

That's just the Close Protection Team, there for 'show' as much as anything. Others will be dressed differently, as I suspect you know.

Dressed differently but it seems just as inefficient,the shooter put up a drone apparently,what a good idea,why couldnt the Secret service do that ? or have screens between the buildings and podium ?
