During a tense call with a group of about 40 of Biden’s top financial backers, campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez laid out what could and could not be done with the campaign’s infrastructure if Biden were to step aside while emphasizing throughout the call that he had no intention of doing so.
Most of the campaign’s significant war chest would fall to Vice President Kamala Harris, Chavez Rodriguez said, according to two people familiar with the discussion.
Only a smaller pool of money would be kept by the Democratic National Committee.
Sen.
Chris Coons, D-Del., who joined for part of the call, emphasized that the process would be “messy” and predicted that Harris would ultimately end up as the nominee.

Would it be **** ed up and privileged if I said politics has been very exciting this week and it feels like things are finally done being stagnant
“Entertaining” is the wrong word in so many ways but alsooo kinda accurate I fear
If Kamala takes over I’ll have hope again

The fact that Trump and Biden are the nominees shows the terrible situation we are currently in, both Biden and Trump should be talked into stepping aside for younger options that offer better solutions and listen to the will of the people, especially when the majority of Americans are against funding Israel now.

Some folks close to the Biden campaign are trash talking their own running mate, Harris, in leaks to the press now. (To make the case that we have no choice but Biden.)
That is what we have come to. Politics can be such a dirty business.

Prior to Gaza Biden’s whole career has been doing the right thing that people want but only after first stubbornly seeming to plan on doing the exact opposite (Gaza’s an awful huge exception though)
