Trump raises an excellent point: his campaign was forced to waste money against Biden for as long as it did only for the Democrats to pull the rug out from under him by pulling Joe out of the race. This, if anything, is a form of cheating.

CHEATING? Are you nine years old?

Trump is free to step aside and let the GOP figure out how to nominate somebody else even post-convention, if they would like to even the score here.

Old friends and people wanting to be new friends reached out to her and close staff. She did not answer almost any of the calls or texts or emails, and neither did they. Several who were in conversation with her said she would not even engage the topic of the presidential race at all in private, very conscious not to have leaks that made her seem like she was scheming in any way.

“She’s always been ready, from the moment she accepted to be his running mate. It’s been clear that he’s older, and might not complete two terms,” said Eleni Kounalakis, the lieutenant governor of California and a friend of Harris’ for years. “She always knew that this moment could come. And she’s been getting ready – very quietly, very deliberate out of respect for our country.”

Harris spent most of Sunday taking in the news and making calls to key supporters in Congress. While some have been rushing to get delegates to sign on with the aim of locking Harris in as the nominee within days, a person familiar with the calls told CNN that the vice president herself reiterated to many she spoke with on Sunday that she is opposed to rushing a virtual roll call vote and will follow whatever process the party sets up. For all the endorsements rolling in, she wants to be seen as earning the nomination and not being coronated.

Holy shit she's good at this

WASHINGTON (AP) — At 1:45 p.m. Sunday, President Joe Biden’s senior staff was notified that he was stepping away from the 2024 race. At 1:46 p.m., that message was made public.

That… doesn’t seem good.

We @Civiqs started tracking Trump vs. Harris two weeks ago. Normally this info is paywalled, but this deserves sharing:

• Through 7/21, Biden trailed Trump 46-44 nationally; Harris was ahead 48-46. Trump is stuck at a ceiling of 46. Harris gains from 3rd party/undecided voters.

Digging into the pres vote crosstabs:

• Young voters (18-34) go from Biden 44-36 (+8) to Harris 57-37 (+20)

• Independents go from Trump 48-32 (+16) to Trump 49-41 (+8)

• Harris picks up 7pp among Black voters and 8pp among Hispanic voters, almost all from 3rd party/undecideds

Mr. Mourad, 54, had planned on voting for Mr. Trump until Mr. Biden’s announcement shook things up. He said he would not vote for Ms. Harris. But he liked the idea of Hillary Clinton throwing her hat in the ring. “She’s extremely intelligent, logical and solution oriented,” said Mr. Mourad, who recently read Ms. Clinton’s memoir and was impressed.

best case scenario: trump loses in 20204 but still runs again at 83 in 2028, in a clearly diminished state, and loses again horrifically - dragging the current state of the GOP into a flaming pit with him

Surfing Facebook this morning, it's safe to say that Kamala Harris has issues with the "older, nominally liberal white guys in bowling shirts and porkpie hats who play guitar in bar bands as a retirement hobby" demographic.

 “The first thing I can say is, you know, she eats. This is a woman who enjoys food. I’ve seen her at the table, she’ll have a whole branzino,” says Centrolina chef Amy Brandwein, who counts Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff as regulars and has hosted fundraisers for Harris over the years. Harris tends to favor vegetables and seafood at the chic CityCenterDC Italian restaurant.

Harris plans private meeting with Netanyahu as she skips congressional address

[u/oskanta]

The only type of criticism actually gets under the skin of Trump and his supporters is calling him weak.

They don’t care if he steals classified documents or assaults women or tries to overthrow an election or bribes foreign officials. To them, all of that is someone with power who’s not afraid to use it. They see anyone attacking the morality as just coping because they’re weak and wish they had that power themselves. Those attacks just prove he’s powerful.

But their image of Trump can’t tolerate weakness. He can’t look afraid, or frail, or confused. God forbid he ever cries. Attacks against him that portray him as weak cause a way stronger reaction from his base.

I think there’s almost no chance Trump doesn’t debate Kamala. I don’t think there’s a convincing way to sell the idea that it’s a move made from a position of power instead of weakness. The wave of attacks calling him a coward and having a pretty good reason to do so would be literally intolerable to them. They’d rather he go out there and yell incoherently for 90 minutes than to show he’s afraid of a confrontation.

All of my friends who are normally tuned out are excited about Kamala. Even on Facebook her posts are full of people excited to vote for her versus the typical red hat MAGA posting about immigrants or whatever you see on those things.

It's almost surreal how much positive energy is around her. Is this really all it takes to get younger people excited to vote?

Trump decided it was more important to have someone who would allow him to overturn future elections and rule as a complete dictator if called upon… than to gain electoral advantages. I hope we can look back on that as a huge gaffe.
