So who is going to be the next president? It already looks to be a 3 horse race. It’s a two party system, it’ll either be “sleepy” Joe or “grab her by the cat” Trump. Not that it matters as the popular vote literally means nothing. Only the 538 voting members of the electoral college votes count and who knows how they’ll vote. They don’t always go with the popular vote. |

Just to say when I did this thread I had no clue on an assassination attempt on Donald Trump life.
So apologies if the timing was imperfect and came across as tasteless.

C’est la vie Pretty poor response. One thing to be opposed politically and another to actively wish for assassination! |

I didn’t wish assassination and it’s wild leap to make that assumption. It’s just a shame the gunman failed and Trump will more than likely now end up in the White House in January. |

I found it ironic that some of his supporters were criticising the lack of gun controls despite Trump being a big fan of opposing gun controls and a fan of the NRA

All the sudden the presidential race gets more interesting. Not big on US politics but it was clear for anyone to see Joe Biden was in no fit state to stand again.

Agreed. Now it is game on for the Democrats, it was obvious to anyone that Biden could not continue, Trump would’ve sailed home. Hopefully now nominate a great potential President and elect him/her to be the next President of the USA and also take the house and Senate and then have the power to change the crooked and biased Supreme Court. |

I don't think many in America would call Kamala great thou. Also was the anger with Biden or Democrats in general. As we know here (rightly or wrongly) changing Rishi would not have reversed the fortunes at the election. People just didn't want to listen and it may be the same for the Dems now. Some of the big names now endorsing her are likely thinking that they would be better for her to fail leaving the field open in 2028 for a completely fresh field of candidates (no Harris, Trump, Biden, Clinton etc). |

The Presidential election is very much a person election, the party election tends to be for the Senate or the Representatives, it's also why the office tends to flip between Democrat and Republican so frequently even if the Senate doesn't change. It should be remembered though that in the polls Biden and Trump was showing as too close to call, but that was with a very senile Biden running. In my opinion a too close to call poll would be a Trump win simply because many Trump voters won't admit it. But changing Biden should naturally increase the Democrat vote simply as they'll now be fielding a credible candidate instead. There's also talk of unrest in the Republican camp now because a lot were banking on Trump winning against Biden, but I still think it will be a very close one. |

But I always thought she polled worse on a approval ratings then Biden? That's why I'm surprised so much weight has been thrown behind her as opposed to having a quick, but open contest. |

It’s not a done deal that Kamala Harris will be the next president, I think she would be amazing.
Joe Biden won the 2020 election on when Trump went low, Biden went high. This time the Democrats need someone that when Trump goes low, thy need to go lower. There is a treasure drove of stuff to use against Trump form his first run as president.
The Presidential campaign is back on.

The Presidential campaign is back on. Can I ask why she would be amazing? Perhaps iv seen different videos but all iv ever seen is someone who doesn't answer a question then gives out some nervous strange laugh which makes her look unsympathetic or mental. . To me Hillary Clinton was still the best candidate to be the first female President. |
