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.
If they voted for Don over two made-up issues, they’ll vote for Don over some new story. The GQP are attacking VP Harris’ laugh, now. Do I need to go find a clip?
If they’re excusing all Don’s myriad misdeeds - THE MAN IS A FELON - over a stutter and a stumble, they’ll believe anything.
The American independent voter is a puzzling thing. I think they vote based upon a great many non-issues tbh, but Biden old was an easy attack line and was a media classic, and removal of it will sway a non zero amount of voters.
I mean people voted Obama then Trump… and there is a non zero amount of people who voted Trump and then Biden. I wouldn’t be shocked if there would’ve been people that voted Trump then Biden that would’ve voted Trump again, and some of those could be swayed to Harris?
