Hillary Clinton was on Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday, July 21, the day President Biden dropped out of the presidential race, when her phone rang. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had already received a call from the same number, so she knew who wanted to talk to her.
Vice President Kamala Harris was calling to tell her she was running for president and hoping to build support as quickly as possible. Mrs. Clinton didn’t hesitate: She told the vice president she was all in. The Clintons rushed out an endorsement well ahead of many other party leaders, including the Obamas.
As Democrats revolted against Mr. Biden’s re-election bid this summer, Mrs. Clinton wanted no role in pushing him out, according to people briefed on her thinking. But behind the scenes, she was also adamant that if the president chose to step aside, Ms. Harris should become the party’s nominee with no drawn out primary.
The two women, once on opposite sides during the contentious 2008 Democratic primary, have quietly bonded over the past several years, sharing dinners at Mrs. Clinton’s Washington home, discussing high-impact decisions like whom Ms. Harris should pick for her running mate, and connecting over the still-stubborn ways that women in high office can be underestimated.
On Monday night, Mrs. Clinton, who came achingly close to becoming the nation’s first female president, will pass the torch to a woman nearly two decades younger, in a moment that friends say comes with a mixture of bittersweetness and pride for Mrs. Clinton.

They never got in the other’s way.
Me, I’m watching C-SPAN and it’s pro-pales tine rally. What a joke. Can’t hear anyone cheering for the Palestinian ‘victims’. It appears nobody cares. Just finished with a fat Latina representing a nurses union. What do nurses have to do with Palestine?
It DOES remind me of my younger days as I used to be one of them. Glad I’,m not young anymore.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say since sHrillary’s long-time assistant Huma Abedin was rumored to be a, um, very close personal assistant, that Kamala’s looks are very similar to Huma’s and sHrillary has the hots for her.
I’m guessing that their “quiet bond” involves copious amounts of gin.
The proverbial night of the long knives is going to be bloody. Only one faction will remain.
A Demonic Coven.
“It’s really MY turn, ya know...”
Neither gin nor water.
I speak NYTs stewardess...
They hate each other.

Witches. Entirely to much of that around these days.
...too much...
Would the Democrats pick an 80 year old Hillary to be their nominee in 2028? Realistically, this would’ve been her last real chance at the presidency. Can we say the presidential window has finally closed for Hillary Clinton? I believe Harris will lose and Michelle will be the nominee in 2028.
WOO-HOO! Break out the "I Like Mike!" posters.
Cheap box white wine
Hillary, Moochelle, and Kamala.
The makings of a great coven.
The media is slathering Harris with every positive adjective and connecting her with every special interest group they can think of in order to pull in the different segments of the Democrat voter. Now, they are going after the Hillary supporters to basically tell them if you vote for Harris then you are supporting Hillary.
I despise the media. Harris suddenly gets 95% positive media coverage and Trump continues to get 99% negative coverage.

With fingers crossed, the old rabbit's foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .
