    Looks like they’ve made a decision and are getting everyone ready for it. President Harris here we come. Fuck.

      Yeah except her approval ratings are consistently even worse than Bidens. Either person on the ticket is likely to get smoked by Trump at this point, unless there is some other major inflection point between now and the election.

        I don’t like her much, but I’d take her in a heartbeat over Biden. It is a shame Biden didn’t plan to step down after his first term so we could have a proper primary. Would love to see Pete Buttigieg over Kamala.

            So do Biden’s approval numbers. That wasn’t the statement being countered, it was that Harris was consistently less popular than Biden. She has better approval numbers than Biden and did even before the debate. She’s not popular, but she’s more popular than Biden, despite older wisdom that she was not. And Trump is also well underwater on approval.
