Funnily enough, she's been polling higher than Biden, so it's already an improvement. Plus, she will be able to campaign and speak more effectively. We need someone who can explain to the people why we can't survive another Trump term and get dem voters excited to vote. Biden obviously couldn't do it anymore and was bleeding down ballot races. I'll gladly support whoever the DNC puts up though tbh.
I think we need someone who black women are excited to vote for. Didn’t we pretty much secured the election for Obama both times? When we show up to the polls, our candidate wins.
I wish Michelle would run. I know she hates politics. But she’s probably the only one who can defeat Trump this late in the game.
I do believe that before we even said somethin, white women would’ve been fighting other white women to also support Michelle. It would’ve brung people together.
Didn’t we pretty much secured the election for Obama both times? When we show up to the polls, our candidate wins.
Black men showed up for Obama too. Biden was the one black women in particular really clutched for the DNC. What I'm trying to say is black women always show up regardless.
Those are both nutcase vp ideas. Bernie is too old for vp, he could be an advisor at best. Newsome? Why do Dems think he’s a good idea. People fucking hate California. It’s the most unpopular state in the Midwest. Mark Kelly is the best idea. Astronaut from a blue leaning state with a blue gov to appoint his replacement. The man is a national hero. He secures Arizona pretty safely and makes the Midwest much more viable.
2020 was a uniquely horrible time to run as a Dem in the primaries with a background as a tough on crime prosecutor. Now? In the general, with a literal felon as her opponent? I'm not saying that she's got it locked down or anything, but the primaries are not the general, and this is no longer 2020.
And most people don't really pay that much attention to politics or the election at this stage. Like they're just starting to tune it. Sure they heard Biden did poorly, but only people who are generally tuned in knew much more than that.
I’m not saying the DNC is 100% on anything but I think they got this one right. The people who wouldn’t vote for Kamala weren’t voting for Biden either.
No they don’t. Again you are trying to grab voters who weren’t voting Dem regardless. Focus on the young voters who will show up instead of sitting home.
This is the reason the CBC and others were so adamant about Biden staying in the race. Harris did horribly last time including polling lower than Andrew Yang in her home state before she dropped out. This is really a disaster.
Michelle has made it painfully clear that she doesn't want anything else to do with politics. She could be amazing for us, but I think she's just tired.
Exactly! I love Michelle Obama. She is one MJ my inspirations. Her experience in the White House was horrible. Let her live her best life, and nominate someone with the fire and experience.
Whitner: Governor of Michigan, very popular, will carry the Midwest.
Shapiro: Governor of Pennsylvania, very popular, will carry the Midwest.
Kelly: Senator from Arizona, former astronaut and United States Navy captain, wife of Gabby Giffords (who was shot in 2011), will carry Arizona.
Duckworth: Senator from Illinois, Iraq war veteran who lost her legs when her helicopter was shot down by Iraqi insurgents. Would almost certainly carry the Midwest.
Just making a small note that Pennsylvania isn't the Midwest, though western Pennsylvania is more culturally and economicallh similar to Ohio than the rest of the mid Atlantic
Barack kept joking that the real reason he didn't run for a 3rd is bc Michelle wouldn't let him. I can't see her wanting to run. Where did this idea come from? I keep hearing it
Major donors behind the scenes (billionaires and multi-millionaires) have been pledging to withhold support from the Democratic presidential/state/local candidates…unless Biden steps down and the candidacy goes into an open contest.
Dems need that money for key races. Can’t lose the states, or the Democratic president’s goals will be dead before they begin.
