All of this should have been done a couple years ago for presidential hopefuls to gather resources and prepare for the elections. The assumption that Biden was seeking a second term stalled a lot of minor steps needed to build a campaign. Biden stepping down a month before the DNC is gonna be a shit show. Who’s gonna run for becoming a candidate? How are they gonna fundraise quickly enough to get the word out? This is a clusterfuck of poorly timed decisions and I only hope the new candidate can gather enough support to win the presidential election. Given the Democratic party’s penchant of favoring people from their inner circle, I doubt they’ll be well received by the general public to begin with.
Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).
If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.
Kamala can have access to Biden’s fundraising, and now all the GOP talking points are mute. I think it’s actually quite effective if they run Kamala. Also, she will eviscerate Trump in a debate, unlike Biden.

Non-issue. Kamala Harris is the heir apparent.
Who is a black woman. Which means that unfortunately she has a pretty steep uphill battle to win the presidency.
In fact I think it would drive more of the non voting republicans to the polls.
Honest question, are there that many non voting Republicans? They tend to be pretty rabid.

True.
You know who would’ve been a good candidate in my opinion?
Pete Buttigieg.
