Do the Democrats Have a Path at This Point!?!

Nomiki Konst appears on The Hill’s Rising to discuss the state of the Presidential race and if/when President Joe Biden were to withdraw and how that would play out.

Bravo 👏 thank you for your clarity Nomiki !!

thank you Nomiki---stripping away the confusion!!!
well spoken, you crushed it

In fairness, polling on Kamala will improve if she’s the candidate. Joe is non-starter and a sure loss. It ended on debate night and the following weeks only fueled the fire. It’s Joever.

Nomiki is completely right and Kamala's chance against Trump seems to worse than Biden.

Open Convention is possible and would engage the public. Kamala, although on the “ticket”, is not who voters chose.

Interesting insights, democrats need to get their acts together very quickly.

Well done Nomiki but I disagree with you on one the time early voting kicks in, nobody is going to care or even remember what happens at the convention. Folks don't watch these things like they used pretty much the only ones watching the RNC were the already converted. I also am hopeful that Biden will step down a few weeks not my first choice nor even my third or fourth but I DO believe she would perform better than Biden, just a hunch. All things being equal, I would prefer Josh Shapiro.

“Do the Democrats have a path at this point” is an irrelevant, if not journalistically irresponsible, question. Who cares about the Democrats? Who cares about Republicans? Their sole constituency is #Oligarchy. There is one and only one relevant question;

“Do the people have a path forward at this point?“

Their best parh is lose and come back in 2026. All this machination actually makes the party split and them weaker. What a bunch of idiots.

Nomiki: Rising? Really?

You’re too good for this dumb show.

Bernie would have won. He would still win. Biden doesn’t have gaffes and it isn’t age-he has some sort of neurological condition. Bernie is older but has 10 times as much energy and is both conversant on the issues and inspiring.

I will never vote for another Democrat again but i am voting third party and for Cornel West for president. Im not rich enough to be a Democrat or vote for them just like im not rich enough to be a republican
