Re: The Presidential Election of 2024
It's very possible that Biden and the Dems have had that lined up for a while, and if so, BRAVO! I've been holding my breath for a few months now, and was astounded that they even agreed to the that debate. Public speaking is not Joe's strong hand, these days. And Harris has been just sitting back, ...

Re: The Presidential Election of 2024
I am finding the shift from Biden to Harris to be rather exciting. The Democratic Party has re-awakened. Sleepy Joe, as Trump liked to call him, has changed the game. I particularly like him doing it right after the Rethuglican Party convention closed with their best Anti-Biden Strategy all lined up...

I was surprised that Mr Pence stayed with it as long as he did.
Nearly Half the Republicans are still nosing up to Trump, and seem to resent Pence's lack of loyalty to him on January 6.
The rest want to move on to somebody else who cannot be directly implicated in the whole fiasco.
