“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
He’s now announced that he’s endorsing Harris. https://www.vox.com/politics/361827/biden-drops-out-2024-kamala-convention
Mark Kelly would beat Trump like a rented redheaded stepmule.
Harris… Won’t.
Well, she wouldn’t today. She’s been VP for four years, and aside from her name, race, and gender, she’s still pretty much an unknown. She needs to develop a personality, fast, if she wants to get anywhere.
Mark Kelly has had an extraordinary career. Fighter Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly, who has had an almost identical career. He’s a Blue senator from a Red state; he will steal voters from Trump, turning red states into swing states, and swing states into blue states.
‘Who?’
As you edited your comment, I will too.
I know of and respect the man- I am a total NASA fanboy. The issue is he does not have general name recognition and they have very little time to get things out there.
Having a scientist in the White House would be amazing.
Agreed, he does not have general name recognition. But he does have a compelling story for every major news organization to jump on, and information flows faster than it ever has. 2 months and change is plenty enough.
He also has an identical twin with a nearly identical career, effectively giving him the ability to campaign in two places at once.
Kamala w Obama as VP would win in a landslide
Though unconstitutional, since the VP needs to be eligible to be president.
Wrong Obama. They are talking about Michelle, not Barack.
We need to stop this whole Michelle running for president thing in all forms. All indicators are that she would never want the job. And all this does is feed the conservatives like Ben Shapiro who keep mentioning it. And they need to stop mentioning it. It’s a distraction. She has never indicated she wants the job or to be second in line for the job.
Ben Shapiro is still around?
Yup. Every damn day. And getting worse. He has been audience captured by the toxic male culture but doesn’t want to admit it. So he ends up saying things like “Andrew Tate has some pretty good ideas but is a garbage human being. Let’s explore what he gets right.”
So Barack would be the second gentleman?
He’s been called worse.
Didn’t say which Obama

I’m ready for our first female president!
Same. When do you think that will happen and who will it be? I’m thinking 2032, but I can’t really think of any up-and-comings right now since the Dems self-immolated their bench making way for Hillary’s coronation.
Lmao. You’re adorable.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like enough Americans are ready for a black woman as a president for it to happen
Source?
Just a subjective observation
She is pretty closely tracking Biden in match ups against Trump, so it is not clear whether voters are really distinguishing her yet.
