Biden considering dropping out (Update: Biden drops out)

[Measure_for_Measure]

Biden endorses Harris.

Joe Biden

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

After discussion with @Aspenglow I’m closing this superseded thread and directing posting to the new threads.

Selection of the new Democratic Presidential Ticket

From the preceding thread: I am all in on Harris and think she will and should be the nominee. Note that Biden gives her a prominent shout-out in his parting message. By the way, with Harris, I think we are about to fucking destroy the fascists. I personally plan on working toward that end. Thoughts?

I wonder if his Covid is bad.

Harris VP choice (if she is the nominee)

Who knows what will happen but for the sake of discussion let’s assume Harris is the nominee. Who do you want and who do you think will be her VP running mate? Should she focus on swing state governor, shoring up on a possible weakness (vulnerable on immigration), demographic balance, an effective attack dog, other?

Today will probably get a little crazy and it appears moderator coverage will be minimal. Everyone, please remember to avoid hijacks and attack the post, not the poster.

Thank you
