The Biden-Harris campaign took little time to officially drop President Biden from its namesake Sunday, filing paperwork kicking the president off the ticket just hours after the 81-year-old went public with his political-earthquake of a decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.
In a filing with the Federal Election Commission, the campaign asked to rename itself to “Harris for President” and designated the Harris Victory Fund and the Harris Action Fund as its joint fundraising committees.
“Vice President Harris is now a candidate for United States President in the 2024 election and will henceforth be conducting campaign activities only in pursuit of that office.

The name change filing came shortly after Biden’s endorsement of Harris to become the Democratic Party’s standard bearer.
Harris has affirmed that her “intention is to earn and win this nomination.”

I went to the Joe Biden website and was redirected to an ActBlue Harris funding request page.
Biden seems to be out.
Merrick Garland seems to have taken a lead role based on the Free Republic article list.
I suspect Hunter was subjected to DoJ scrutiny.
We are about to see how far out over her head she is. Role playing Vice President is easy. It’s about to get real.
“foreign policy experience”
A former Secretary of State is standing by.
Tanned. Rested. Ready.
They changed it from “Retard for President” to “Slut for President”
Therein lies the problem.
Trump was beat to death
over trying to prove
Obama was ineligible.
Faced with this a second
time? I don’t believe he’ll
ever bring it up.
Dats Truth!
No, it means America knows better.
I like your optimism.
You forgot plan A. Cheat.
Which Americans..the new arrivals including Muslims. Or, maybe the woke Americans?
