Biden’s exit from the race is just what Trump feared
The former president has always considered himself to be the ultimate disrupter. But this time, the disruption is on the other side.

Through the weekend, there were an awful lot of questions that were going back and forth from people in the president’s tightest circle, and one of the questions that kept being asked was whether Joe Biden was going to endorse Kamala Harris or not. And the question didn’t revolve around whether he wanted to or not, but whether people in her camp thought it would be better for her to fight for it, win it on her own, and not be seen as somebody who was tapped by President Biden and so, in her own way, have a fresh start going into the campaign.
So the timing seems to be about as good as it could have been to end what has just been one of the craziest two or three weeks in American politics in quite some time.
What’s weird is she is relaxing. After all the chaos and bullshit and jagged geriatrics from those two guys, it’s just relaxing to see her.

Surprised the hell out of me when I realized every time I saw her photo some tension left my shoulders. More so the moment I realized she was running. Weird outside of the context of the jagged geriatrics dance of chaos and decline of the last 8 years, within that context, not so much. I cannot be alone in that sensation. .
Don’t underestimate that impact. It’s a show stopper.
They need this energy to make people want to vote; not just to vote apathetically or to perhaps not bother because they don't feel like it makes a difference, but to get out and do it with purpose, energised to tell others to do it. The VP pick is going to be a crucial part of this, with some actual policies/promises to back it up. The Republicans have shown fuck all, so here's hoping for a progressive campaign which speaks to people.
There isn't much Trump can attack her on that he doesn't support himself when it comes to Kamala's negatives. So she is actually a great choice. She also has gotten voters out of the loop of despair, even if there isn't much info about her plans besides continuing Biden's agenda.
Good. That fucker needs to be more scared more often.
What's funny is that this whole thing really started once Biden badly underperformed at the debate.
If Trump had just done his usual cowardly thing and bailed on the debate, we wouldn't have seen that humiliating performance by Biden, and he'd probably still be on the ticket.
Once again, Trump's pride has taken him to a place he didn't want to go.
What Trump fear is not having am audience
I still think it was a bad idea that Joe dropped out this late into the cycle, but at least Kamilla will be a competant incumbant. I didn't think they were going to put kamilla in his place and I thought we were fucked. Glad I was wrong but I hope that she will be enough. She's polling slightly better than Joe was against Trump.
