US Presidential Election 2024

I was wrong about Biden staying in the election but reading about it today the decision came suddenly it wasn't inevitable as his staff were still ringing around all the senators for their support for his election only yesterday. Obviously something changed Biden's mind only this weekend it wasn;t the Obama machinations behind his back. Afterall Kamala gave him her full support a few days ago so obviously he wasn't pulling out at that stage

He’ll be really hacked off when he beams back in and realises what he’s done.

At least some of them seem to be under that impression though.

Whether by accident or design, the timing of Biden's departure has drawn the media spotlight away from Trump after the assassination and Republican convention. Harris still has VP pick to announce, Convention etc.
 
Trump is challenging whether its legal or not for Harris to pick-up Bidens donations. I'm sure there's lots of ironies in there somewhere Trump/legalities etc.... !

Yes. An act of desperation, you know.

Harris has raised a record-breaking $100m since Sunday last.

Besides, the accumulated campaign money, $96m was in the name of the President and Vice President.

We can expect more and increasingly ruthless shenanigans from Trump and his faithful from now until September.

This is Trump's last hurrah and he won't go with good grace.

Agreed, although the shenanigans will continue to November, and with Trump... beyond!
 
Trump running scared of Harris, knows she'll wipe the floor with him in a debate, and trying to weasel out of the next one.
 
Polling in swing states starting to go in the direction Harris. These are even FOX News polls...

Vice President Kamala Harris is tied with former President Donald Trump in several key battleground states just days after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her, a series of new Fox News polls found.
The network conducted surveys of registered voters in Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, network anchor Bret Baier announced on Friday evening’s edition of Special Report.
In Michigan, Fox News found Harris and Trump tied at 49 percent while Harris led Trump by six points – 52-46 percent – in Minnesota.
The survey also found the two candidates each tied with 49 percent support in Pennsylvania while Trump was found to have been leading Harris in Wisconsin by one point with 50 percent support compared to Harris’ 49 percent.

What will trump do if he loses to Harris?, his whole identity and raison detre has been about getting back to white house. Obviously power went to his head, he could have went back to the celebrity and talk show circuit but he has staked everything on getting elected again. This is a very different trump to the 2016 incarnation then he was the big upsetter sticking it to the establishment, he was also funny and box office viewing. Now he is just a characture spouting the same old boring mantras
 
Tim Walz has been announced as the Democratic VP pick. Currently Governor of Minnesota.

Viewed as a 'safe' choice, Minnesota was already leaning Democratic.

He first ran for Congress in a largely agricultural district that spans across southern Minnesota, which is fairly rural and Republican-leaning.

Who is Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' pick for vice president?

The Minnesota governor is a former public school teacher, National Guardsman and member of Congress.

A great choice of vice president, an actual normal guy for once. Its amazing how the campaign has completely turned around. He knows how to play trump at his own game by cleverly labeling him turning trumps tactics back at him. If trump had of been smart he would have chosen nikki holey as his vp but now he is stuck with vance
 
Kamala gone slight favourite. Maybe peaking too soon. A week is a very long time in this contest. The Donald's fly in the ear moment has already almost been forgotten.1723112112068.png
 
Latest from Trump on Truth Social:

“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from me by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE.”

The unfortunate man clearly has psychological issues that are far more complex than politics.

There will always be people, like Trump, with serious mental health challenges.

What's disturbing is that roughly half the American people think it ok to elect this individual as President.

You can see the childish fury coming through, that an election he thought he had in the bag - to the point of appointing a bagman like Vance as his VP pick who brought nothing to the ticket except tech money donations ... and he is falling behind in the polls and betting to Harris.

It is going to get worse. Republicans are going to try every dirty trick they can to disrupt the elections count etc if they think they are losing on the day.
