This is not a prank - Joe Biden finally gave in to the pressure and pulled out from the presidential race. I wonder who will represent the democrats now?

    From an outsider point of view, I’m not sure she can. She’s pretty invisible. At least she can speak though.

    I’d rather see AOC. She has visibility and seems like a junior Sanders. Probably too short notice to get her ready though.

    And you just know they’re going to pick Hillary again and completely blow it.

      I was originally going to reply that AOC isn’t old enough to run for office, but it turns out that she will be 35 in October of this year, sooo… 3 week campaign from October 13th - November 5th?

      AOC becomes the 47th POTUS, the youngest of all time plus the shortest campaign. Sounds like a great timeline to me.

      They won’t pick Hillary. I could see AOC trying to convince the delegates after she shilled hard for Biden. If anything… I think AOC would be VP.

        They’ll pick someone who covers Harris’s demographic gaps for VP, like they did Biden for Obama. Probably a moderate from a swing state. Edit: spelling.

        I wish all the people on the left who think Hillary were going to get picked were gamblers. You could stand to make a lot of money off of them being wrong.
