Anne, I am not a troll and fully support Biden, and should have said I am allowing myself to CONSIDER letting go of Biden. Our #1 focus must be on what preserves our democracy - and I have full faith Biden can continue to do that admirably. But, if he decides to step down, or wiser pols than me convince him too, then I can sleep knowing that our "Big Gretch" could win it.
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether this country is ready of a woman President alongside a woman VP. As for Gavin Newsom, not a good idea with another Californian on the ticket. All-in-all, we have what we have and need to make it work. Gretchen in the future? YOU BET! (I’m an Illinoisan.)
If you read what the experts are saying there is no possible mechanism at this point then for Harris to take the rein. People should inform themselves before they start promoting wacko, chaotic, crazy, democracy suicide ideas
Christy, If Biden releases his delegates, they will keep taking votes at a contested Convention until the requisite number (not sure what it is) has settled on a nominee.
* sorry I did not correct the spellcheck error. Meant to say there is no mechanism “except” for Harris. There will be chaos if people think that Biden can step down and Harris not step up.
I am allowing for the possibility of Biden stepping down. Whitmer looks like a good alternative. I am continuing to work on Getting Out The Vote for the Democratic candidate for President. Whomever.
It’s passed the time when any other can get on the ticket. I can’t even believe I’m reading that you’re toying with this idea of abandoning Biden. That’s what MAGAs want! That’s why he did it! We are still the majority! How about you get out of the way then. I’m not asking actually. Get lost.
I agree with your first premises, but PLEASE do not be rude to other commenters. I don’t know about you, but I believe this WILL all subside once the news cycle changes, as it invariably does…and in very short time! Hanging in there, with you! Go Biden!
And not necessary at all. That in itself makes us look bad. That’s what Trump does. Uses until they’re used up then tosses them out with the trash. Biden is no where near incapable. This is as bad as the media. So superficial. I’m not rude! There is so much at stake here. And the timing is not good for trying to replace him even if it were within rules.
MaryPat, I believe were Biden to release his delegates and the Convention were contested, your governor would rise to the top of Democrats under consideration for the nomination.
It’s too late to get anyone else on the ticket. I’d like to see the whole Democratic Party get him ready for the next debate. He can do this. I’d like to see as much support for our party as the other side has for theirs! They’re incredibly organized, well prepared and confident. I don’t see those kinds of things here except for donations mostly. Donations are important, however when’s the last time you attended a school board meeting?
I am allowing myself to let go of Biden. But then, I am from Michigan, and know that Gretchen Whitmer will make a phenomenal President.
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 that’s a bonkers idea letting go of Biden. Are you a troll???

Thanks - I like that better.

Got it! We are on the same page, for sure.
It looks to me like y’all are giving up on him. That’s terrible!
I think she will too, 4 years from now when she follows Biden.

It will be hard for so many of us to let go of Biden, if that happens.
Let's assume we don't have to, and work hard to make sure he is reelected..
She would indeed, a breath of fresh air.
Yea Whitmer!! She has what it takes.
in 2028
You may like your governor, but the only thing I have ever heard about her is that some crazies from her own state planned to kidnap her.
She was considered for Biden's VP.
