2023-2024 Presidential, senate, house, state and city election thread

I wouldn't underestimate Pete B. as a choice, he would carry himself quite capably in a debate:



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, his sexuality should have no bearing on his policy positions. Back when he was experiencing a surge during the 2020 primaries, I remember it was the African American voters who were actually his hardest opposition. This wouldn't be as much an issue now due to Kamala's presence and huge opening fundraising support from the African American community already. I highly doubt you'd see a lot of voters leaving because of his sexuality, and his military history is also a boon for him.

Personally, I'd still prefer Mark Kelly or Tim Walz as VP, with Beshear eventually replacing Mitch McConnel. Given what happened today with Bibi's congress address, I'm leaning towards Josh Shapiro being a bit riskier given his remarks on Palestinian protestors.

Not to disregard Shapiro as a choice entirely, because the idea of having him secure Penn is entirely sound. But one must also consider the current political climate, and the favorability Kamala currently has with younger voters, and now would be unwise to derail that enthusiasm.

I sadly think you're underestimating the homophobic bigotry of this nation still...

What a stupid fucking choice Trump made. I knew it before he did it and couldn't believe he could be this dumb. This fucker is going to drag down the ticket. Should have chosen nikki haly.

All polls outside of the very republican ones will show harris ahead in 3-4 weeks. This will remain so until the election. Harris needs to be at least 4+ in order to carry the rust belt the way she needs too.

ME: UNH: Harris +8
Harris: 48%
Trump: 40%
Kennedy: 4%

After Kamala effectively becoming the democrat nominee It seems like election odds have stabilized at about 60% vs 40% for democrats vs republicans.

I wouldn't say they've stabilised. If you click on "Last week", the gap is closing. And will continue to close.

I know it's still early, but it really does feel almost akin to 2008 again. Only Trump himself is a much worse (and older!) version of McCain and Vance is a much worse version of Palin. The age thing against a younger, more in tune with the younger voters, and historical candidate was really hammered home during that election cycle just as now.

I had really just about given up on American politics. Thank you, Obama. Biden did what he could at his age, but it's past time for something new and inspiring in the electorate.

It may be that I am being misled by all the spin in the "liberal" media (mostly MSNBC) but it does seem as if Harris has unleashed a tremendous amount of energy that just might be enough to pull it off. It isn't just all the positive spin, but also by measurements such as a significant uptick in campaign contributions, the number of people stepping forward to volunteer, the sudden apparent unity in the Democratic party, etc. Plus, the Democrats still have their convention ahead which will give them an opportunity to put their best foot forward.

Harris has always had a rough time knowing how to manage a campaign, but this time around she has a lot of high-powered help. They will need to keep the infighting to a minimum, something that always seems to be a management problem for Harris. She doe display a certain amount of intelligence, so perhaps she has learned something from previous experience. She has also received good reviews for her campaigning to date. Again, those are reviews from liberal spin-masters at MSNBC, so we shall see.

The senate outside of mt and wva will probably vote straight democrat. So probably for republicans 51-49??? This also suggest a majority for the democrats in the house.
