#Biden moments away from addressing the nation on his decision to stand down from the 2024 #election.
If you think he has earned a beer for ~50 years of public service, donate $5 to help elect VP #Harris (and show #Mastodon is worth looking at)!
Or, you know, a six-pack for $30. 😇
@heidilifeldman has started this #MastodonForHarris ActBlue fundraiser and it is blowing past expectations, approaching $200,000 as we speak!
Reminder: President #Biden will address the nation tonight at 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET.
📌
Both a nod to the #Kamala Venn meme, and the worst kind of doublespeak: #Biden ensured T•••• remained free
"With #Harris as the Democratic nominee, however, #Trump is caught in a no-win situation. If he continues to hang back from the campaign trail while she's out there hustling, he'll start inviting the questions about whether he's too old and weak, the exact questions that plagued #Biden. But if he starts doing more media and events that are outside the MAGA bubble, he will draw negative attention and remind voters why they hate him."

Jonathan V. Last reports on what just happened when Brent Leatherwood, head of the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, praised Biden's "selfless act" in stepping aside. Within 14 hours, he was fired after Southern Baptist leaders expressed outrage that he praised Biden's selflessness.

"A new CBS News/YouGov poll taken after Joe Biden dropped out found that 79% of self-identified Democrats want Kamala Harris to be the nominee. That is the will of the voters. …
The one issue bogging down President Joe Biden’s poll numbers against Trump—his age—is now not only no longer an issue for Democrats, but it’s been completely turned around on Trump, who is the oldest nominee for president in our nation’s history."

"especially for those in the news industry – who might actually benefit from what the New York Times Editorial Board considered an 'exciting' contested Democratic convention.
Glaringly, Black women were missing from the calls for Biden to step aside. The graphics showing the legislators calling for Biden to step aside were telling. Most were men. All were white."
"Perhaps what needled me more than anything was that most of the people publicly calling for Joe to step aside were white men, or folks in the so-called 'donor class,' or members of the punditry. Folks who certainly want to win, and who would certainly suffer under a Republican administration, but who wouldn’t feel the full brunt of Project 2025 and –"

"The grassroots machine that came together over the last two days to lift up Kamala Harris is made, mostly, of women. Women who woke up on a rainy November day in 2016 to listen to a woman in a purple suit tell all the little girls to keep dreaming. Women who began marches, attended rallies, ran for office, and created an infrastructure for activism unlike anything that the Democratic party has ever seen."
Joe #Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 #US presidential race has kicked off a six-month race to solidify his administration’s foreign policy achievements, particularly in the two areas most likely to shift dramatically under a Donald #Trump presidency: the Middle East and #Ukraine.

#Trump agreed to a 2nd #debate w/ #POTUS #Biden in Sept hosted by #ABCnews, but backed away from the idea of an #ABC debate since Biden dropped out [shocker¿]
Early Tues on social media, Trump called ABC “a joke”, said it was biased toward his opponents & declared the network “not worthy of holding a Debate…”
Trump said he thinks the debate should instead be held on #FoxNews.
[#FauxNews is worthy?”]

#Trump’s team, eager to get the 2 candidates on a #debate stage, had agreed to many conditions pushed by #Biden’s team. The first debate, in June, was disastrous for Biden & led to his withdrawal. But MVP #KamalaHarris, who is likely to become the #Democrats’ nominee, could be a more formidable opponent.

#Bernie pushed #Biden further to the Left and it turned into a huge success for his presidency (passing more Progressive legislation than he campaigned on.)
One of the best things Biden did was to embrace many of #Sanders' policies.
"The Trump campaign spent two years creating a political bomb concerning old age. They assumed that they could plant this bomb at the feet of Joe Biden.
Trump is now the one holding the age bomb. He is not only a full generation older than Harris—everything about him looks geriatric by comparison."

"In the coming weeks we will find out if the people who said, 'I hate Trump, but Biden is too old' really meant it.
Will they find some new excuse for why they have to vote for Trump? Will they become unconcerned about the risks of old age and cognitive decline in a president?"
"Harris’s own qualifications pale in comparison to the case against Trump. That case is simple and easy to make. Donald Trump is a fascist. He is a felon. He will be the oldest president in American history. All the Democrats need is someone who can repeat these facts again and again. Joe Biden sadly wasn’t that person. Kamala Harris is."

"Trump’s entire political career has been built on divisiveness over race and sex, starting with the lie that Obama might have been born outside the US and gendered attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016. As Biden, Prospero-like, drowns his book, the election of Harris, a Black woman, would provide this era’s last word in poetic justice."

"Instead of chaos, we have seen something quite rare among Democrats: consensus and discipline. The combination of excitement, the outpouring of love for Joe Biden and acclaim for Kamala Harris, the opening of voter wallets and donor dollars, the grassroots organizing that already has sprung into place—"
