Shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris handed over the podium to President Biden on Thursday, dozens of attendees at a joint event simply stood up and left rather than listen to the retiring commander-in-chief.

The rude demonstration was a stark demonstration of the enthusiasm gap among Democrats revved up by Harris’ sudden elevation as the party’s presidential nominee — after Biden regularly suffered low rally attendance replete with heckling.

...

The event ostensibly was to celebrate the announcement of 10 prescription drug prices that will be lowered for senior citizens enrolled in Medicare Part D — with those savings taking effect in 2026.

Harris served as cheerleader for Biden at the event, leading the crowd there to see her in chanting, “Thank you Joe!” when referencing the reform, which was brought about by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

so this looks like a clean break.... all the efforts to get Biden and Hunter has suceeded too well.

It’s like Harris never contributed to Biden’s failure so now she’s out campaigning on a clean slate.

enthusiasm gap

Sure. Kamala is a rock star.
Poor Joe -- the guy who got the most votes in US history == is, oddly, just not that popular.

With Commielaw, it’s just another political sugar high because she’s the first presidential candidate to be a woman of color. Basically Obeyme combined with Hitlery Clinton.

That I think is one of the biggest risks or challenges in November, will voters be challenged to vote for her to prove they are not sexist or racist?

If paid, they stay at the rally. When off the clock, they leave.

If paid, they vote for whatever the candidate is

Revved up? Ha Ha

Once her free concerts are over and she takes the stage, people get up and walk out.

Those leaving probably don’t want Joe sniffing and groping their young daughters.

I bet it was staged trying to show that Harris is much different than Biden.

Who was President last year when that poor woman was paying $9000 for her medicine? Biden says he has been there 170 years or some number like that so he must be responsible for a lot.

I would have stayed to hear Biden speak.

If only to marvel at his mumbling, shouting, incoherent sentences, references to Beau who died in Iraq, lying dog face pony soldiers and of course - Corn Pop.

Yes, the only reason to stay is to watch for a brain freeze, some embarrassing outburst, a lie, or for him to faceplant when he walks away.

It has been my experience that those who feel like they have to prove they are not sexist or racist.... are the ones who are sexist and racist.
