Who's here now that Biden just dropped out?

[sabaha]

In any case: dims policies remain the same.
No change.

[Rebirth]

Lol, arguing over who is the better candidate to lose to trump. 🤣

[pecquet-dubalaix]

Yea, lets get Newsom, he wants to keep Trans Children a secret from Parents. He would make a great delegate.

[bllasae]

I hope they choose Newsom - guaranteed victory for the Republicans.

[scott]

They'd have to go with Kamala or lose all that money raised for Biden/ Harris reelection

[Publius-]

It seems that the Democrats future is suddenly burdened by their past.
It may have something to do with the passage of time.

[jmalen]

Geeee it seems there is an unknown person by the name of Kennedy who could have prevented this mess. Freudian slip?

[derek_]

How could they choose Newsom? Look at California that’s insane

[bruceprobert]

Thank you, for addressing my concerns.

[TheTeach]

This guy is working so hard at self censorship that every second word is "you know"

[stewartabernathy]

If Biden does step aside then all of the delegates should be limited to chosing from the other primary candidates. It isn't fair to them that someone else can just pop in and not have to spend the money. It's an unfair shortcut.

[victorteo]

Useless Kamala Harris? That’ll be a sure lose for the Democrats.

[levannguyen]

It Biden drop out, Democrat party will have a chaotic convention for sure 😂

[fastlx]

Newsome, Harris, Clinton or Obama will guarantee Trump a landslide win...
Their ship is sinking and they are turning on each other 😂😂😂😂😂

[jrtstrategicapital]

Noooo! We support you to stay in the race Bernie! 😉

[bruceprobert]

Joe must be asking himself,
Should I stay, or should I go?

[sandsandwich]

Didn't Newsom say he wouldn't run now and only later.

[stagemanager]

Clinton 2024!

The right wing is already panicking lol!

[skennyp]

Question- If the delegates are loyal to Biden would they not also be obligated to support Harris by-proxy?if not she should invoke the 25th amendment
