No, she didn't have the clout to run this time she got the nomination because of the timing of Biden's decline finally becoming impossible to deny any more after the primaries but before the convention.

Has Biden publicly given a speech since that debate where they shit-canned him afterwards?
I feel like I haven't seen a video of him ever since.
You missed "vice president Trump" and referring to the 2020 election in the future tense? They set him up to prove the debate was an isolated incident and he sure proved them wrong.
He had an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC news after the debate to prove it was an isolated incident. Obviously in an effort to prove it was not an isolated incident, but he had a number of flubs during the interview as well. Biden has mostly disappeared from the public eye since then.

There was no clout to begin with. They bought a PR cycle for her that expired on sept. 1st.
Not at all.
She shouldn't have had the clout this time considering she couldn't even fucking win her own home state in a fair primary before that.
She didn't even have clout to run in 2024. Biden decided he'd run even though he promised not to (Don't um actually me as if it matters he personally didn't say it when his whole campaign was out there talking about it)
No they'll continue their right wing march and push Newsom. Or maybe they'll grab some "moderate" Republican from Ohio and run their first obviously blue dog
Here’s how John Kasich can still win!
lol no
lmao even
We will probably never hear about her ever again
She'll either be a discount Hillary or trotted out as an argument for why [insert slightly less right-wing candidate who is a woman or a POC or a POC woman] is unelectable and therefore can't be the dem candidate in whatever year it is we'll see a new candidate pull a "Bernie '16/'20"
fuck no
hell no
That would be funny, but no. She's going to go on a book circuit with Hillary.

Has anyone else ever run a third time after being unsuccessful twice? The thing about the DNC is they have a production line of anonymous tank-raised ghouls, they learned their lesson about hitching their hopes to one egg after Clinton I think

Biden has been running for president since like 1906.
Yeah, I am pretty sure this was his fourth run
I think Nixon ran several times before getting elected. He was VP to Eisenhower.
He won (as VP to Eisenhower) in '52 and '56, lost the election to JFK in '60, lost his gubernatorial race in '62, lost the primary in '64 to Barry Goldwater, then he won in '68 and '72.
Ah. I forgot he ran for governor.
they learned their lesson about
No they didn't, they learned nothing.
I don't think she will, I feel like she only has clout now because the liberals needed to push her as a valid option over Biden (and was already his VP). Even if she does win, I have a feeling she'll only get a single term before the Conservatives can find someone to beat her.
Trump will execute her following liberal J6
She had microscopic clout in the 2020 primary, but here she is. She is doing everything right to prove her ghoul-cred, and her sponsors will no doubt find further uses for her, even if not as presidential candidate. Heck, maybe she can be Secretary of Cruel and Unusual Collective Punishment under Trump
not a chance.
Ha. No. It'd be the end of her political career ( at least electorally) and she'll coast off of book deals written by ghost writers and do speeches for rich donors as payment for her time in office.
No, they're already prepping for Gruesome Newsome 2028. That's why he recently met with Xi. It's all prep work for his campaign in 2028.
No
It's Michelle Obama 2028 if she can sail through the primaries
I think she would, I think were stuck with KAMALICE posted from my raised ford 150
Whatever bridges she had, she burnt already...
There is no way she wins a primary after losing to Trump. It would very embarrassing for her to even try to seek nomination, and for this reason I doubt she will try.
If Drump wins, there will be no more elections. So no.
Please, elaborate.
The vast majority of voters rapidly support genocidal political parties. America has proven beyond any possible doubt that it cannot be trusted with self governance.
President Xi, please spread Democracy to America.
Wow. Sounds like this is "the most important election in our lifetime" - so why is Kamala shooting herself in the foot unequivocally supporting a genocide that hurts her chances? You think the most important issue this cycle is "securing democracy" but she doesn't.
As long as Kamala thinks killing brown people is more important than electing the first woman President, I will agree and withhold my vote.
Yeah, just like last time he won.
He'll be Chuan Jianguo (Trump the Nation-Builder) to China again, so I'm steeling myself for the repression to intensify domestically. We had so many people become socialists during his first term.
