    Right now it appears everybody is holding fire, giving Joe the day. A new nominee may not be determined before the convention, but there could be a consensus. Vice President Kamala Harris said she is running, so early in the week we’ll see if anyone else throws their hat in.

      Maybe like Dean Phillips or something but nobody who will get any support. Running against Kamala, endorsed by Biden, would be tantamount to running against Biden imo

        This is true. If she’s going to get endorsements to what amounts to be the whole party, then the convention will be predetermined. The only item is the running mate. I would go for Big Gretch.

        And after a $50mm fundraising day, I just have a really hard time seeing it end up as anyone else.

        I don’t like that it’s the case, but at this point it’s probably over 90% odds that it’s going to be Harris.

      Biden endorsed her this morning in his announcement to end his reelection bid, so we’ll see.
