Hopefully planned since Kamala’s oddly shitty 2020 primary campaign. 

The Democratic primary electorate is not the general election electorate. The party had to coalesce around Joe Biden to stop Bernie Sanders from winning a primary lol

Kamala also gets to keep all the money already raised and you'll see the pledges that were going to be removed if Biden stayed in become solid now. The money will be there. The money that's going to Trump might now hedge because him winning is no longer a foregone conclusion.

The GOP will surely challenge in court, and the GOP appointed chair of the ostensibly independent FEC is already posturing on Twitter:

That said, the consensus is that Harris should be able to assume, and is the only one who could, which is a major advantage for her.

I have no desire to dive into the legal details but if an assignment / consent is required on the big money to the campaign they will go get them. DNC cash is fine, PAC cash is fine. Word was campaign cash is fine too since she’s on the ticket.

AOC needs to lay off social media in these regards since she's not privy to the inside information like she thinks she is. I get that she needs to keep making content but now she gets to go make new content about how much Kamala being the nominee is a good thing. Making content has to be so exhausting.

I don’t know if Kamala can beat Harris but I know Joe can’t.  This is good

In fairness to her, that's probably how those conversations did go, until it was obvious Harris had the most support. Then everyone got whipped into shape and fell in line, and it all had to happen before Biden flipped from "I'M STAYING IN THE RACE" mode to today's letter.

As a student of history, I’m looking forward to a civics lesson on how all this plays out. Kamala is being endorsed! This is huge. So I guess the process now is to call all the delegates? Biden releases his delegates and they will pledge to her? How many does she need? Still waiting to see what Nancy Pelosi says. Will she push for the mini primary which would be huge mistake or will everyone fall in line as we all want to happen? This past 8 days has been crazy af.

CNN also mentioned Kaine, Patty Murray came out for Harris 

This was planned. Bigly 

I really would like to think so. But this is the Democratic party.

Challenge what? Primaries are private affairs. 

I'm not saying I would lol

Court cases would go through DC circuit anyway as I understand which would likely tell a challenger to pound sand. I suppose it depends on how brazen SCOTUS is feeling.

That’s one narrative.  Another is Biden was going to win all along.  Pete wins Iowa and drops out before Super Tuesday?!? Klob pulled a similar thing with NH?! Bloomberg comes in to have Warren destroy him and her in the process… that primary was nuts… lots of storylines but the most likely outcome (Biden/Harris) in the beginning miraculously became the end result.  Dems displayed dark lord competency in that primary.

But the headline is not what AOC said in the clip.

I know that. It was a bullshit tweet. But even what she said in the video looks silly now.  Kind of a 2-for-1.

But it would be his record not Kamala, I don't think people realize what they threw away, all because of what could be a hissy fit, the same people saying he is too old could very well say she is too woman and too black. People love excuses to say why they are such a unique snowflake. Is it real or is it bullshit? we are about to find out.

Obama does not endorse anyone in his letter. Not surprised he’s going to be neutral 

He will in the near future. Just giving Joe his day

Delegates will remain open until the convention. They cannot be pledged prior.

Lmao. I think that would be hilarious if @linuxwould be into that for a brief period.

Not opposed to letting the rank and file come out first so it doesn’t look like leadership / the Obamas forced the issue

I’m very pleased, pleasantly surprised, the last few hours. 

Sometimes you just have to rip the bandaid off. I know you more than anyone on this thread has a lot at stake in this election. I truly think this is our best chance of winning whereas before I was completely resigned to a 2nd Trump term.

Just talking to people who are partisan Dems, but who were very dispirited—that’s all over now. They’re super-energized and ready to go.  
 

Including , and especially, Mrs.LL.

 

In related happy news, I am so getting laid tonight.

Give her the ol' Sleepy Joe as tribute.

In the Woodward book on Biden the section on how this played out is going to be amazing 

Sadly, actually reading it is going to be like dragging sand paper across an eyeball. He may get the best access, but Bernstein was the writer of the two.

Whitmer will not throw her hat in the ring. Honestly with this still being an underdog's position and the groundswell of support, I'd expect other headline names like Newsome or Shapiro to also do the same. Align around Harris as the best chance to beat Trump this cycle, take your shot in 2028 if she loses.

Yeah, you want to challenge the sitting black female VP - good luck to them. Black voters may not forgive them

I'm lamenting the loss of the "prepare your anus" rep right about now.
