Very close if not Harris.
(Clinton lol!)
Key to this decision was NOT likes of Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi or etc. etc. etc.
Instead, Jill Biden.
He’s not known as Gruesome Newsom for no reason. Michelle not interested and really would be taking one for the world if she steps up, and Hilary is toxic.
One candidate has been shot and the other has pulled out before it's even started
There's surely huge intrigue and interest to come
The Dem nomination for starters..
Anticipating the tears ... hopefully of Chump.
The VP market is very interesting.
Is Shapiro really a shoe in ?
Come on Democrats. We need the next few months to be the American “deuxième tour”. Choose someone half decent. Choose Mayor Pete.
If he’d stayed, it would have cost me.
3.5 years ago I placed a bet on an outsider Democrat to be the 2024 nominee and winner. Nice odds
I’m not going to say who because I don’t want to jinx things but even now there are some stunning odds on various candidates if you move fast.
A lot depends on whether you think Kamala is a shoo-in for the nomination.
As for Gretchen Whitmer, reckon she's make a VERY good Vice Presidential nominee. Past denials of interest not worth much AFTER the Biden announcement.
Josh Shapiro also in the frame, and is also attractive prospect IMHO.
As per 26th May 1989 ... (sorry TSE)
"It's up for grabs now".
Better late than never.
Just a reminder too that Trump is no spring chicken. Trump will be older than Biden is now by the end of term in January 2029
If the Dems are sensible they might well show up his age to their advantage.
But are they sensible?
Fascinatingly, he has not endorsed or hinted at an alternative candidate. I assumed he would tell his delegates to back Harris. If he does not - wow; it could be a rollercoaster few weeks.

@JoeBiden
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this."

Whoever it ends up being let’s just hope they have enough to save us from Trump.
Harris v Trump will be a fascinating contest.
And I’m sure @Roger told us “oh it’s just a debate they’re always forgotten”

Essentially he's released his super-majority of 2024 Democratic National Convention delegates to her. Which in addition to other factors will likely be persuasive to most if hardly all.
Harris 1.24
Newsom 29
H Clinton 38
Whitmer 40
M Obama 40

It would be evidence of her putting her love for her husband first, especially as he may not see it that way as many of those suffering dementia struggle to accept the condition and the essential changes needed to adapt to it
May they both enjoy a more peaceful time ahead
I’d far far prefer a sane anti woke Republican. I’d vote for Vance in a heartbeat. But Trump? No
Wow!!!
Huge times.
Is TSE on holiday?
A public service announcement.
I am taking a holiday from the 16th of August through to the 26th of August.
Edit also a holiday from the 25th of September through to 6th of October.
Trump 1.62
Harris 3.4
M Obama 42
Newsom 48
Whitmer 95

Harris would lose all the rustbelt swing states Biden won in 2020 and probably lead the Democrats to their worst defeat in the Electoral College since Dukakis as well as losing the popular vote.
Newsom would be just as bad, Democrats only hope now a rustbelt governor like Shapiro or Buttigieg
We are pleased on a personal level for the Biden family the decision is made
All the best to you

That said, many punters will not have seen the news.
Defeated Trump then stood aside to help defeat Trump.
