Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race and Endorses Harris: Live Updates

After intense pressure from within his own party, President Biden said he was ending his campaign and backing Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his place. Ms. Harris said she would seek the nomination, adding: “Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

Frankly - he’s quite dull. Seems to be a decent guy but hard to see him electrifying the Democrats in the way Harris has. And this will be a turnout election, not a persuasion election. So exciting the base is vital.

Kelly wouldn’t do that.

Not to derail but ....I've got this song going through my head - Pamela Pamela , obviously triggered by Kamala. I think it was Peter Noone or someone like that from the 60s. Driving me mental!

But again, pushing a different button. Dull will be good for those people who distrust pizazz. 'You looking for a plumber?' will appeal to people who say 'space shuttle? meh' . (It also leads me to suspect he has a sense of humour which will be useful if he'd debating Vance).

Anyhow, I'm totally partisan, I want to see Gabby Giffords getting cheered at an inauguration, even if it's this way (and I do like his bald head).

Andrew Marr , on the New Statesman podcast , said Kamala hasn't been elected to anything ever. What a tube on YouTube! Five minutes on Google Andrew.
Quite ironic ; we're often complaining about Americans being ill informed about this side of the pond. Cuts both ways it seems.

Michelle Obama has been saying for years she doesn't want to go into (believes) in mainstream politics. There are other ways of being political. Some quotes from her here https://www.yahoo.com/news/running-list-michelle-obama-said-192124400.html

Pamela, Pamela - Wayne Fontana (I had to look it up and it sounds really wimpy - not suitable for a newly crowned "brat girl")

l@IwantToRetire I suppose it is a bit too vanilla. Thats the trouble with getting old. The polls are encouraging if not a dramatic improvement. My friends over there are certainly happier.
