  • George Clooney leads a growing list of people who have called on Joe Biden not to stand again in 2024.
    Will this shift the White House thinking on this thorny matter? Or will it take former Democratic presidents to weigh in before anything changes.
    Last night House Democrats seemed resigned to the status quo after their caucus behind closed doors.
    Biden is currently meeting Keir Starmer and others to celebrate NATOs birthday. NATO a full six years younger than Joe. And how is Trump responding to the idea Biden might walk? He's about to choose his VP, as we gear up for the Republican National Convention next week. We'll be there.

    The cold feet over Harris being the candidate are actually damaging to their future votes.
    Maybe she would be an effective candidate, maybe not.
    But to freeze her out, is to tell women and black voters that the party don't consider their vote to be important or numerous enough.
    Or that they consider them a captive vote, that can be taken for granted.

    I watched the end of the Summit and the presser (which started a whole hour late for unexplained reasons). Apart from referring to President Zelinsky as 'President Putin' and to VP Kamala Harris as 'Vice President Trump', his cognitive performance was acceptable, 'though he looked ancient (despite the hint of a tan, thanks to make-up). Hardly an encouraging performance, I'm afraid.
    One key issue is that Harris seems possibly to be even less popular than Biden. Additionally, if another candidate were to be chosen, how would they raise sufficient funds for the key electioneering season, given that Biden's war chest would pass only to Harris (as his VP). Furthermore, if there were to be a brokered convention in Chicago, there's a risk it might degenerate into the chaos last seen (again in 'The Windy City') in 1968.

    And if Biden makes bad choices, isn't that a reason for Biden to step aside?
