Kamala Harris will likely be the next president of the United States – and that’s overall good news if you care about democracy, justice and equality. Joe Biden’s decision on Sunday to bow out of the presidential race clears the path for the country to elect its first woman and first woman of color as president.
Even though the electoral fundamentals for this year’s election have always favored the Democrats – despite what numerous misleading polls have been showing (and with most of the news media reacting purely off those polls) – Harris’s selection will largely shore up the weaknesses that were dragging down Biden’s poll numbers.
All of the drama and dissatisfaction over Biden’s June debate performance completely obscured the underlying factors that made it more likely than not that the Democrats, even with Biden as nominee, were in a strong position to win in November. Here are the facts.
First, most people in this country typically choose the Democratic nominee for president over the Republican nominee time and time again. With the sole exception of 2004, in every presidential election since 1992, the Democratic nominee has won the popular vote (Biden bested Donald Trump by 7m votes in 2020).
Those trends have only continued during the four years since the 2020 election. Since 2020, 16 million young people have become eligible to vote, and 12 million people, most of them older, have died. Biden beat Trump by 30 points among young people, according to the exit polls, and he lost among the oldest voters (52% for Trump, 47% for Biden). So the fundamental composition of our nation’s electorate is more progressive, more diverse and more favorable to Democrats right now than it was in 2020.

What is this drivel?
What is this drivel?
Drivel. Leftist media drivel.
That’s interesting especially in a newspaper from a country that in no way would stand for a fraction of the scandal Harris has in her past.
The Guardian is a global joke. It is filled with delusional leftist children.
The polls were all fake but Harris will sure up the poll numbers snd the weakness they revealed. Great analysis.
I read this crap, not a single mention of the numerous failed policies of Biden/Harris, inflation, border failures etc.
Kamala spearheaded the fund to bail out BLM/Antifa rioters and looters. Never ever forget that.
lol. Well now I’ve read the title i don’t need to read the book
Watching the media these past two days is like watching a fish flop around on dry land.
Oh look. A Leftist rag thinks the Left is making brilliant moves.
Stevie sounds like he’s got a woodie going for Viagra Harris.
It clears the pathway for Kamala to be defeated in a landslide. The exposure of her in a presidential campaign, coupled with her lack of accomplishments and performance as VP will remove her from future political advancement.
The woman nobody wanted to be a candidate, that everyone hated is now the most smartest, bestest candidate in the whole world.
It’s yet another continuation of the Obama Bizarro world.
People with half a brain, which excludes most Democrats, know that progressive politics are ruining countries around the world.
The Guardian. Lol. MI6 propaganda rag.
Not exactly a master stroke, since they were forced into dumping Biden and had to choose her for financial and political (race) reasons
Word Salad for Word Salad
“Kamala Harris will likely be the next president of the United States – and that’s overall good news if you care about democracy, justice and equality.”
It should hurt to be so stupid.
