According to The Hill, Democratic strategists from Obama’s team tried to get Biden not to run a year ago. No wonder Biden seems over David Axelrod! This particular article indicates a great deal of uncertainty about whether or not Biden will actually drop out of the race. It seems that most of the Democrats who want Biden to drop out see Harris as the heir apparent.
HOWEVER, the big money donors (read: the oligarchs who actually now apparently control our elections thanks to the Citizens United decision) are the real problem for President Biden. They are no longer ponying up for him. They aren’t sold on Harris either. And these geniuses think a floor fight at a political convention is a good idea.
Both donors said there is still some uncertainty in the donor community about whether Harris can win against Trump.
“A lot of us think there should be an open convention. It would create a lot of excitement.”
Maybe we can throw some computer chips into a harbor or something.
