Only them

Dunno how true that is or if it can be sorted

 

You’d think beating Agent EasyJet would be priority

Well done Joe. 

Momentum may now swing to the Democrats. 

Someone young, moderate and who can spin DT around in a head to head. 

Now give over.

We'll have to see. But I reckon Trump might be a bit lost if he needs to start talking about policy and can't just keep talking about golf or how old his opponent is. I've a feeling this might re-energise the democrats (providing they can agree on a candidate in short order). Personally I'd go for for someone left field and not KH. But we'll just have to wait and see. 

Mind you - I would also like to point to my previous track record of being wrong for just about everything! 😁

Bolty’s understanding of the political spectrum is priceless. Would love to know what goes on in that head to believe Harris/Biden are communists.

Don't worry, you're locking horns with Bolty, your track record is flawless in comparison.

Just call him Bolty , but not sure he wants the job.

Pretty sure Biden stepping down will make little or no difference Trump will just continue as he always has. She will have to pull some real rabbits out of the hat whilst the Republicans ask why the Democrats have left a man who is compromised to run the country.

Also this communist thing is bollocks as it was when he first started on about it last month. Posting stuff from the NYP is also the red flag here (no communist pun intended)

Anything not far right=Communist

Aye 

I think it will be too little too late. 
 

Think Biden was okay four years ago, but i think the party may regret not placing more pressure on him earlier. Shame as there are some good candidates in the party.

No doubt that Harris has a better chance than Biden did though. Things would only have got worse for him. 
 

Heard on the radio that many in the Democrats knew for a while but didn’t speak up out of fear for their own careers.

Which will just about be the Republicans election theme. As Sir Kier would say 'country before party'. 
 

Also what do they do for next 3 months ? He is too ill to hold a debate but well enough to run the country ? Obama seems to be very quiet. 

Close run thing at the moment. But if KH stands - I imagine there will be a lot of black and female voters who jump ship. Could get interesting this.......

Apparently it’s true. The funds would have to be diverted into a different pot if it isn’t either Biden or Harris on the ticket and would be hard to use directly for the campaign according to their electoral rules. It’s very complex apparently with hard tax implications. I wonder if this has been looked at internally by the Biden team for past few weeks and maybe why he delayed his withdrawal?

Blame covid, get Harris in the hot seat asap

Obama's hoping for a presidential nominee contest, but he'll almost certainly be disappointed 

Biden's nominated Harris and the big donors have thrown their weight behind here as well, so she's as good as coronated

I can't see there'll be many black and female Trump supporters willing to abandon him for Harris

Also, the conference delegates were selected for their loyalty to Biden so they'll inevitably pick the candidate he endorses

You mean to say the racist, misogynist Donald Trump managed to attract black female supporters. How did that happen?
