From UK, just seems like he wasn't given any leeway for being severely weakened in midst of covid and its aftereffects (very possibly a touch of long covid). Everyone has immediately jumped on his age. But I've seen him so incredibly articulate and impressive, inc the day following the debate. Its such a shame, after all he's done for everyone. I truly truly feel for this sincere, good hearted man and politician.

I like Jamie Raskin and he is looking so good and healthy, which is wonderful to see!

I feel immensely better about November now. HARRIS 2424

Raskin is a stunning patriot who has been through some trying times and ALWAYS, through it all, kept his finger on the pulse of this country and its health. He'd make a stunning VP, and then perhaps Prez in 2032! VOTE BLUE. It's really the only way forward.

Bottom line is that we cannot afford to allow djt back in the Oval Office! NFW José!

Great statement: "JD Vance is a man without convictions, and Trump has 34 convictions, he can share some with him.”

Jamie Raskin demonstrated his skills in the 2nd impeachment of "45". Wouldn't that be interesting if he was the V.P.

I'm already feeling a lot more optimistic about Kamala Harris. Given the circumstance Joe Biden was wise to step down and hand over the reigns to a younger candidate. I'm keeping my fingers cross that Kamala becomes our next president..

[jonathanstein]

Will CBS continue to be in Trump's corner, treating him as normal or decide to support America first?

[angelabelt]

Joe Biden is one of the best president we have ever had and a good man

[jonathanjourneys]

"JD VANCE has no convictions at all..but Donald Trump has 34 and can share some with him" the shade😅😅😅

I LOVE Joe Biden!!! *There's only 1 choice: Kamala DEMOCRACY over Trump AUTOCRACY!! I'm voting for Kamala!!!* 💙💙💙

[vkpormm]

That's good news coming from Rep. Raskin! The Democrats would be foolish at this point not to unite and support the VP to win in November.

[lilfaded]

Feel like I can sleep a little better tonight. VP Kamala so has this in the bag!💙💙

'She is a prosecutor running against a felon': Really says it all! Vote Blue!

[hideem]

Rep Raskin did the right thing. I know it must have been very hard for him to do this. Harris 2024! VOTE.

[edmundmazeika]

Now a sitting president will campaign for their vice president. That will be powerful.

[lindadspeed]

Love Raskin!!!! Thank you for your voice!!! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

[erinjane-r-u-kind]

I always take Congressman Raskin’s opinion and word to heart. We are so fortunate to have great leaders like him and our future President Kamala! Time to fight for our great democracy!

I don't think trump will debate her
She'll shred him in a debate
