Well, I called it five years ago... That Biden would eventually drop out and Fuglei's failed candidate anointed without a proper democratic process. She has no chance of beating Trump however, hope everyone realises that.

If one wished to be conspiratorial, perhaps the Democrats are well aware they can't win this time and that's why Newsom, etc, are keeping their powder dry for 2028. Still, they had to remove Biden because he was damaging candidates in the Senate and the House. Perhaps Harris knows herself that she's onto a loser, but agreed to run for the sake of raising her own profile - higher speaking fees, etc (considering she has no chance of ever being the candidate through an open primary)?

They had to do something, as even oblivious people were starting to realize they had been lied to for years. This new shiny object makes them talk about something else. And I hope you’re right, that this cackling fool gets nowhere near the WH come January.

Eh, I think she's very smart, but also very unprincipled - perhaps slightly psychopathic. Not that Trump isn't all of those things too...
