Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after President Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.

The vice president has Biden’s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.

“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said in a statement. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Biden’s “extraordinary leadership,” saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.

Now we just need to get Trump to step down. Then we can have a less insane election.

He really should. He has no business running.

Even if the assassin had finished the job, his cult would prop his corpse up and wait for him to come back to life.

Rumour has it that Trump shits his pants, or at least pisses his pants. There was a whole "real men wear nappies" thing in support of him when it was around.

I don't think we can have a president with one fucking ear anyway.

There's just no way.

It's all or bust for trump. He's not gonna choose bust.

[–] xenoclast 1 points 4 months ago
