pbs #Biden resolute desk address
biden
I had no connection for over an hour.
The #Biden for President campaign committee has filed paperwork to change its name to the Harris for President campaign committee, according to a new FEC filing https://breaking.iavian.net/article/369922
To all my #US followers despairing over Joe #Biden dropping out from the presidential race and endorsing #KamalaHarris 4 months before the presidential election, I would like to tell you about another woman who was handed the leadership of her party just 7 weeks before the 2017 election and went on to become, imo, NZ’s greatest Prime Minister of my lifetime. Her name is Jacinda Ardern and her election campaign slogan was #LetsDoThis

Reuters Exclusive: All 50 Democratic party US state chairs back #Harris
All 50 Democratic Party state chairs have thrown their weight behind Vice President #KamalaHarris to be the party's new presidential nominee, acc/to sources.
The chairs held a conference call on Sun after #POTUS #Biden announced he was stepping aside as the party's candidate.
There is "full support" in backing Harris to be at the top of the ticket, one source said.
“America’s going to have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope & hate, between unity & division.
We have to decide: Do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect? Freedom, justice & democracy?
In this moment, we can see those we disagree with not as enemies, but as fellow Americans.”
- President Joe #Biden, July 24, 2024
#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!

Great video kids interviewing MVP #KamalaHarris
The last kid kills me.
Harris: “I don’t like mean people.”
Kid doesn’t miss a beat: “I don’t like Donald Trump.”
Harris: “Yeah, me neither.”
Kid’s face is priceless. I don’t think he expected her to be so honest.

#GOP eyes #legal challenges as #Harris assumes control of #Biden’s war chest — tens of millions, could get tied up in the #FEC & then #court.
Charlie Spies, a #CampaignFinance lawyer, said both Biden & Harris would have to have been officially nominated by the #Democratic Party at its convention BEFORE a handoff. Then, a provision in campaign finance #law allows a VP nom to take control of the depository if the presidential nom withdraws.

Donations are pouring in for Vice President #KamalaHarris' presidential campaign after #President #Biden dropped out of the 2024 race on Sunday.
The #Harris campaign said Monday morning that "everyday Americans have given $49.6 million in grassroots donations to her campaign" since Biden's endorsement.

"#Biden may well be remembered as a real hero of American democracy, who ran in 2020 to get Trump out and walked away in 2024 as the last best hope for stopping him again
But Kamala #Harris and we, the voters, have to save his legacy."

#Harris is beating #Trump by transcending him
The sudden & radical shift in the trajectory of the 2024 campaign owes to more than the replacement of President Joe #Biden w/MVP #KamalaHarris as the #Democratic candidate. To a degree that’s still not fully appreciated, #Harris has embraced an entirely new strategy: She’s not just pushing back against Donald Trump’s #politics of #cultural #division. She’s bidding to #transcend it.

🤦🏻♀️A divided US Supreme Court refused for now to bolster the #Biden administration’s ability to extend school discrimination protections to #transgender students nationwide - Bloomberg #SCOTUS #LGBTQ
These are just a few of the Biden-Harris accomplishments you must tell your friends (and those who say they won’t vote) about. Pass this info on!

Exclusive: #Harris leads #Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
MVP #KamalaHarris opened up a marginal 2-percentage-point lead over #Trump after #POTUS #Biden ended his reelection campaign & passed the torch to her.
The poll, conducted on Mon & Tues, followed both the #RNC where Trump on Thurs formally accepted his party's nom & the Biden announcement on Sun he was leaving the race.

#Biden: "The guy we're running against -- what's his name? Donald Dump? Donald... whatever..."

Politico Playbook: Aides to #Biden and Harris are considering plans to bring President Biden back to the campaign trail, according to three officials familiar with the plans.
Biden is expected to be deployed strategically — such as to states he won in 2020 like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan — and target constituencies where he polled well, such as older white voters.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Vice President #Harris is pledging not to raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year if elected in November.
That extends the promise President #Biden made central to his admin's economic agenda.
"Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency."

In the face of new Democratic momentum, [#crybaby] #Trump has grown increasingly upset about #KamalaHarris’s surging poll numbers & #media coverage since replacing #Biden on the ticket, complaining relentlessly & asking friends about how his campaign is performing, acc/to 5 people close to the campaign….
“It’s unfair that I beat him & now I have to beat her, too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend. [um, you never “beat” Biden, dummy.]
