  • Exclusive: CNN survey finds 48 states say Harris can get on ballot instead of Biden, rejecting claim switch breaks state laws

    Washington CNN — The election authorities of at least 48 states, both Republicans and Democrats, say there are no obstacles that would prevent Vice President Kamala Harris from getting on election ballots if she becomes the official Democratic presidential nominee, as expected. The findings of a CNN survey of all 50 states undercut the claims of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who said both before and after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday that there are legal “impediments” in some states to a party switching presidential candidates as the Democrats did. There was not a single state...

    The New York Times ^ | July 24, 2024 Updated 2:29 p.m. ET | Shane Goldmacher
    Late on Sunday morning, Vice President Kamala Harris summoned a small clutch of her closest advisers and allies to the Naval Observatory, where she lives and works, with little notice and even less information. President Biden had informed Ms. Harris earlier that morning that he was withdrawing from the race. The vice president had assembled her team so that the exact moment Mr. Biden formally quit, at 1:46 p.m. — one minute after the president had informed his own senior staff — they were ready to go. Time was of the essence. A sprawling call list of the most important...

    "Kamala Harris’ Monster Fundraising Day Bigger Than Trump’s Felony Charge Windfall"Kamala Harris’ dramatic entry into the presidential race triggered a record day of donations for Democrats, who raised nearly $64 million in the 12 hours after Joe Biden handed over the baton. Democrats claim the final total may be as high as $90 million raised in the 24 hours since the president’s announcement Sunday afternoon. . With donors hesitating over the uncertainty surrounding the president’s health, Trump’s White House war chest had recently overtaken his Democratic rival. Now Biden’s decision to stand down and endorse Harris appears to have opened...

    Hunter Biden released an emotional statement on Sunday following his father’s decision to withdraw from his campaign for reelection. The first son marveled at his father’s attributes and asked “all Americans” to “thank” President Joe Biden for his public service. “For my entire life, I’ve looked at my dad in awe. How could he suffer so much heartache and yet give so much of whatever remained of his heart to others?” Hunter wrote. “Over a life time I have witnessed him absorb the pain of countless everyday Americans who he’s given his personal phone number to, because he wanted them...

    American Thinker ^ | July 21, 2024 | Andrea Widburg
    For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation.

    …According to the Democratic National Committee rules, the party's delegates would still meet as scheduled for a virtual roll call to vote for who they think should be the nominee. What If Democrats Don't Choose Harris? Because Harris wouldn't just immediately become the nominee, there's a chance that another candidate is picked. The Democratic Party's delegates could choose another candidate that they see as giving the party a better chance against Trump in November. Other high-profile Democrats floated as possibly stronger alternatives to Harris include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. But they have said that they...

    More than four dozen former foreign and national security officials for the U.S. government called on Biden in a letter Friday to drop out of the presidential race. "We write as former U.S. officials who have strongly supported your presidency and your initiatives to strengthen U.S. foreign and national security policy," they wrote. "We have welcomed the measures you have taken to promote U.S. alliances in Europe, Asia, and the Americas; to manage relations with great powers; and to address global issues such as climate change. These initiatives have been built on your decades-long record of support for responsible U.S....

    California delegates for the Democratic Party are reportedly in disarray as debate over the president’s chances of re-election threatens to tear the party apart. Private group chats across multiple social media platforms have been set up to facilitate discussion among the delegates, who almost universally worry that a second Biden term is an impossible sell to voters, according to Politico. A cache of messages was reportedly leaked to the outlet — only the latest in a deluge of leaks from inside the Biden administration and the wider Democratic Party. “Obviously, the first step would be that President Biden steps down...

    CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp said Thursday that Democratic lawmakers were leaking their conversations with President Biden because they feel they can't get through to him about dropping out of the race. "Democrats are so desperate to get through to Joe Biden and they’re not, that now they're leaking these private conversations as sort of an outside effort to triangulate and really force Joe Biden to acknowledge the realities of the state of his campaign. And unfortunately, I think his resistance does not look like it’s coming from a position of strength but a position of delusion," Cupp said.

    By now everyone knows the importance of James Clyburn in the 2024 election. Through his network, Clyburn controls the ballot counters in roughly 15 different urban areas. James Clyburn said earlier today the Democrats have until August 19th to replace Joe Biden through the open convention process. It does not seem coincidental that Clyburn would make this statement in combination with a letter sent by 24 professional democrats urging, imploring, Joe Biden to release his delegates and allow an open convention to determine the 2024 Democrat nominee. ... A group of two dozen former House Democrats has sent a letter...

    If Joe Biden wanted to design a pair of gaffes to cause his presidency as much damage as possible, it would be hard to do better than his performance on Thursday night. This Nato summit in Washington has already been overshadowed by questions about the US president’s age and mental capacity, and every world leader has been asked about it in interviews here.Two miles away, on Capitol Hill, Democrats have been locked in conclave all week to discuss what to do about Mr Biden and his health.All eyes were on this evening, to see if he could bring this summit...

    Longtime allies of former President Barack Obama are pouncing on President Joe Biden as he and his family fight to maintain power within the White House. Biden and his campaign have insisted that the president is not going anywhere, despite deafening calls for him to end his reelection bid from fellow Democrats. His defiance has not done much to mute the critics within his own party. Individuals in Obama’s orbit are increasingly piling on, arguing that Biden should step aside due to his age and mental decline. Perhaps the biggest domino yet fell Wednesday, when Democratic donor and actor George...

    Kamala Harris is qualified to be president. So why is Joe Biden holding her back? Despite our nation's progress in social equality, the systemic power held by older white men in America continues to obstruct the paths to success for younger Black women. The most current example? President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Members of Congress and other Democratic leaders have called on Biden to step aside as their party's presidential nominee − with some suggesting that Harris should take his place − after a devastating debate performance two weeks ago. But the president isn't backing down. On...

    SELMA, Ala. — By early this year, around the time a prosecutor called President Joe Biden a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Vice President Kamala Harris already knew something had to change. It was up to her, she had told allies, to finally distinguish herself in her job — something she had been struggling to do for more than two years — and reassure American voters that the Biden-Harris ticket was still a safe bet. She had been feeling sidelined in the early stages of the campaign, one adviser said, and she wanted a bigger role. She fled...

    Dementia Joe Biden is facing a revolt from some of his own party’s prominent donors, including the heiress to the Disney family fortune. These donors have declared they will cease funding the Democrat Party until Biden withdraws his candidacy for the presidential race. Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy O. Disney, announced her intentions on CNBC last Thursday. Despite years of financial support for the party, she plans to withhold future donations until Biden steps down. “I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of...

    Kamala Harris is poised to take Joe Biden’s place if he drops out of the presidential race — in part because she’s the only person who can take control of the Democrats $240 million war chest, sources told The Post. Many prominent Democrats are waiting in the wings to take the ailing 81-year-old’s place, but the quarter billion Biden-Harris have raised is non-transferrable, campaign finance sources told The Post. “Biden has two real choices: Kamala inherits; or they transfer it all to the DNC,” Signum Global partners Rob Casey told The Post. “That money would all be accessed by Kamala…...

You know it's the end when donors, megadonors, media outlets, and even left-wing politicians call the President out for betraying them and sinking the Democrat ship with his stubbornness. Their cries fall on deaf ears and they are learning what it feels like to have their interests put aside for one man's political agenda. Welcome to the world of the Democratic rule.

    Netflix's billionaire co-founder who's one of the Democrats' most generous donors has called for Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. Reed Hastings, 63 is asking Biden to step aside after his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump last week. 'Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,' Hastings told the New York Times Wednesday. Hastings, alongside wife Patty Qullin, packed the party's coffers during the Trump era to the tune of over $20 million. They've also specifically backed Biden in the past, giving $1.5 million...

    Vice President Kamala Harris is “the future of the Democratic Party,” the White House declared Wednesday as leading Democrats and their allies position themselves to replace President Biden as the party’s nominee if the 81-year-old president steps aside. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pronounced Harris as Biden’s political heir, at one point referring to her as “president,” when asked about his 2020 campaign remark that he would be a “transitional” candidate. “One of the reasons why he picked the vice president, President [sic] Kamala Harris, is because she is indeed the future of the party,” Jean-Pierre said at her...
