 I thought that when it was annouced that he had covid that they had found the way to get shot of him. Oh, "he has severe resitory problems and is in intensive care" and then, " he didnt respond to treatment and has passed away"
Looks like that option is no longer needed

Kamalala has even less chance of being elected than Sippy Cup.

After all, we're talking about a country that chose Trump over Hilary Clinton... And history has demonstrated that former VPs/Deputies do not good leaders make, and it's extremely unlikely that Democrat voters will make make the same mistake twice. Historically speaking, Democrat VPs only became president following the death or resignation of a President. Biden being the exception.

Biden was a waste of space as VP and Kamalala has been no different so she brings nothing useful to the position.

As if it will make one jot of difference to us who gets into the white house, except maybe Donald might set NATO adrift and leave us to fend for ourselves.
Why the obsession with America? They're just a bunch of colonialists.

I notice  the word equity has replaced the word equality in the past few years.

The two have very different meanings and outcomes.

I just half caught something on news, they were interviewing the lefties, one of which said "it would be great to have a woman of colour as President"

How about it being great to simply have the best person for the job? Surely sex and colour make zero difference.


Jeez, its just like being at work!

And Biden's age is probably the cause of his physical frailty.


Trump's only campaign tactic of relating everything to his opponent's age will hopefully backfire now that he's the oldest.

He announced he wouldn't be running again in a tweet. Even Nixon resigned during an address to the nation.

Absolutely no excuse for not addressing the nation public ally or at the very least releasing a statement saying that he's in charge or not in charge. Kamalala said nothing about taking the reigns whilst he's laid up, which in itself speaks volumes as that's her only actual function.

It doesn't speak volumes to me, it says Biden is laid up with Covid. If it became necessary for her to take the reins, I'm sure that would happen. Move along now, no conspiracy theories to see here.

Trumpy's best attack line in my opinion is to keep asking about and highlighting her role in the cover up of Joe Biden's health over the last 3 or 4 years.  :)

And I don't agree with your 'fake noos' comment either. I think there will be significant cut through with American swing voters about the Democrats cover up, with the cooperation from the corrupt fake noos media. Look how the electorate turned on the Tories here.  ::)  If Trumpy's strategists get it right and paint a picture of the Dems attempting to pull the wool over the American peoples eyes, she's toast.  :P

The American constitution is very specific that the country isn't run by just one person. The President is only slightly more relevant than our monarch. What Biden's withdrawal has actually done is removed what little power he did have to get anything through Congress and the Senate until he stands down next year.

There wont be a contest because no one else wants to stand. They dont want to have their career ended by losing to Trump, which seems the likely outcome.
Not quite as likely as a few days ago though. There was no chance of Sleepy Joe being re elected.

We'll see about that...
Not saying that the poll I posted is anywhere near accurate, just interesting that the parties have moved so much closer than when Biden was running.
Lots more swings to come yet.

Trumpy could well become a victim of his own hubris and might put off those undecided swing voters if he attacks Kumala with nasty personal attacks rather than going after her record in office.

Although nasty personal attacks seem to be a general feature of US politics....  ::)

Perhaps Kamala will fight the election as president.

Old Joe steps down then Kamala becomes the first woman POTUS, and perhaps more importantly to the democrats the 'first woman of colour' POTUS.

Otherwise she may lose to Trump and never tick those boxes. :)

Her biggest challenge is convincing voters that she's actually going to improve anything. They've had four years and not achieved anything positive.

In comparison, Trump did everything he said he would and promises to continue to do so.

She's going to be the nominee, too late for a contest and they need to show a united front. Wise enough for you?  ;D

I think this is bang on. My guess is that the Obamas are quiet because when Michelle does run, they won't want too many soundbites endorsing someone else which could be used against them in future. Particularly if Harris does miss out, but wants to try again in 2028.

Well he's making a Presidential address to the nation later today from the Oval Office, so you might be right.  :)

I just don't understand the logic of a wife following her husband as president, especially when they have no political experience.

When Harold Wilson resigned in 1976 he didn't tell Mary  to stop ironing and making jam in the kitchen because it was now her turn to be PM of the UK. :)

Maybe he should have. They ended up skint and unable to pay for his care.

I think he resigned when he became aware he was starting to lose the plot.

Later on he was unaware that he was once PM. :-\

Michelle is Obamas only way to get another two terms in control.

Well, his speech was a waste of words. Everything he said they had achieved was the total of what is actually the case. And much of the rest of it was mumbled incoherent gibberish.

It sounded like a half arsed resignation speech only he forgot to resign.

You wanted an official announcement, you got one. Now you can leave him alone and talk nonsense about the black lady instead. I'm sure there'll be plenty on YouTube to keep you happy deep into the night.
