    I wish her the best of luck.

    I still expect Harris 2028 because “it’s her turn”

    But hey, maybe there’s hope on the horizon

      Dem leadership is positioning themselves behind Gavin Newsom. They should be backing AOC but she’s too “woke” in their eyes.

        Exactly. The leadership has already picked Newsom, you can tell because he is already moving to the center.

        Harris lacks a key, critical asset to win the Presidency in today’s America: a penis. Newsom already has one, so is any a clear advantage.

          Harris’s issue was she kept telling people who can’t afford their rent and groceries that the economy is better than ever. She ran a dog shit centrist campaign that did nothing to motivate voters. Harris represented the status quo, same with Newsom. Both will get absolutely shredded in 2028 if they run.

          Let’s totally ignore that Hillary got the popular vote the first time and if the US didn’t have the E.C. than history would’ve been quite different.

            None of this is relevant. Neither party wants to change the voting system so only winning the popular vote is matters

      According to the two books written about Biden’s mental decline, one of the main defenses people close to the president used was, “If he drops out, you get Harris, and then we’ll lose for sure.” I’m sure they’ll pick some low talent party loyalist who has been waiting patiently, but it seems even the party leadership never wanted it to be her turn.

      There’s no way they’ll run Harris again, if they do the backlash will cause them to change course.

      AOC most likely, with the slim chance someone better steps up before then.

        No chance of AOC because she’s vilified by the right and it’s important to appeal to voters who won’t vote for you.

          They don’t have anything though and she can handle herself. Calling someone a bartender can only get you so far and all it does is humanise her anyway.

          Her views are significantly more popular, even amongst people who don’t (usually) vote and the right (when they don’t know it’s a liberal proposing it).
