Why aren't other Democrats running to fill Biden's spot?

Pod Save America explains why Kamala Harris might get the nomination unopposed.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

IDK IF ANYONE JUST WATCHED KAMALAS HQ SPEECH BUT WE’RE IN THIS, WE GOT A RACE AHEAD OF US

[deannewilliams]

Can you imagine a Democrat debate at this point? You’re great! No, you’re great! You’re great too!! Group hug 🥰

Why don't you mention that in 2025, Mexico will have their first female President in history, and we are just as capable of breaking that fluffing glass ceiling.
President Harris sounds pretty dam good to me!

[chetsavage]

Except they won't run in 28, it'll be 32 at the earliest!

Dems: trump will destroy democracy! Also Dems: I’ll wait to run in the next election cycle.

😅it is the money....Kamala could keep the money the Biden-Harris campaign had already raised.

Ohio and the terrible timing of the dnc convention.

When I first saw this headline, it seemed like POD Save America wasn’t on board with the Democratic new solution.

[jenniferlinn]

Biden knew he'd probably not make a 2nd term which is why he chose Kamala to begin with to be our president in 2024

Am I thee only one who sees this ???

What is WRONG WITH YOU GUYS. Get behind Harris FFS

[beesnaps]

Why are you guys asking this dumb dumb question? We need to spend every second, minute helping Harris. Unity not division! We don’t have the luxury to play around.

[DeckerClips]

Just admit you fucked up with the suggestion, which now looks way off base with Kamala’s meteoric momentum. The real question isn’t why people didn’t run but WHY you thought that was worth what would have been lost (the last two fantastic weeks of Trump in shambles over “weird” and no plan).

[greenlionaxel]

Dean Phillips is still running a real campaign. Kamala could debate him to strengthen her cause and allow some democratic process to take hold.

[susanerickson]

Don’t discount the backlash from the base at how this came about from donors, party elite, and MSM. Black women groups, suburban women, older voters like me outraged at the idea that Kamala would get skipped over because she’s a back woman for some pie in the sky lack of a plan from strategists who think this is a game.

[millennial_talk]

The keys man. A contest will ruin the dems chances. Do your research.

[chriswest]

And why do so many people buy their wives anniversary gifts even though they said it was fine and that they didn't want anything?

[MD-jwlj]

I despise these men. Y'all spoke horribly about Pres Biden

[jimwoodruff]

This whole process is undemocratic and a sham.
