No, she didn't have the clout to run this time she got the nomination because of the timing of Biden's decline finally becoming impossible to deny any more after the primaries but before the convention.
You missed "vice president Trump" and referring to the 2020 election in the future tense? They set him up to prove the debate was an isolated incident and he sure proved them wrong.
He had an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC news after the debate to prove it was an isolated incident. Obviously in an effort to prove it was not an isolated incident, but he had a number of flubs during the interview as well. Biden has mostly disappeared from the public eye since then.
No they'll continue their right wing march and push Newsom. Or maybe they'll grab some "moderate" Republican from Ohio and run their first obviously blue dog
She didn't even have clout to run in 2024. Biden decided he'd run even though he promised not to (Don't um actually me as if it matters he personally didn't say it when his whole campaign was out there talking about it)
She'll either be a discount Hillary or trotted out as an argument for why [insert slightly less right-wing candidate who is a woman or a POC or a POC woman] is unelectable and therefore can't be the dem candidate in whatever year it is we'll see a new candidate pull a "Bernie '16/'20"
I don't think she will, I feel like she only has clout now because the liberals needed to push her as a valid option over Biden (and was already his VP). Even if she does win, I have a feeling she'll only get a single term before the Conservatives can find someone to beat her.
Has anyone else ever run a third time after being unsuccessful twice? The thing about the DNC is they have a production line of anonymous tank-raised ghouls, they learned their lesson about hitching their hopes to one egg after Clinton I think
He won (as VP to Eisenhower) in '52 and '56, lost the election to JFK in '60, lost his gubernatorial race in '62, lost the primary in '64 to Barry Goldwater, then he won in '68 and '72.
She had microscopic clout in the 2020 primary, but here she is. She is doing everything right to prove her ghoul-cred, and her sponsors will no doubt find further uses for her, even if not as presidential candidate. Heck, maybe she can be Secretary of Cruel and Unusual Collective Punishment under Trump
Ha. No. It'd be the end of her political career ( at least electorally) and she'll coast off of book deals written by ghost writers and do speeches for rich donors as payment for her time in office.
There is no way she wins a primary after losing to Trump. It would very embarrassing for her to even try to seek nomination, and for this reason I doubt she will try.
He will have plenty of time to alter the status quo. Isn't that what project 2025 is all about? Even if Trump denies his involvement in this project, he sure knows all people involved, and he is known to lie about everything if it benefits him.
The vast majority of voters rapidly support genocidal political parties. America has proven beyond any possible doubt that it cannot be trusted with self governance.
Wow. Sounds like this is "the most important election in our lifetime" - so why is Kamala shooting herself in the foot unequivocally supporting a genocide that hurts her chances? You think the most important issue this cycle is "securing democracy" but she doesn't.
As long as Kamala thinks killing brown people is more important than electing the first woman President, I will agree and withhold my vote.
He'll be Chuan Jianguo (Trump the Nation-Builder) to China again, so I'm steeling myself for the repression to intensify domestically. We had so many people become socialists during his first term.
