I’ll admit that I didn’t expect Biden to decline the nomination and Democrats to quickly coalesce around Harris as the nominee. The enthusiasm surrounding this shakeup in the race is a welcome relief after a month of uncertainty about Biden’s ability to campaign effectively. I don’t think Biden’s senile or anything like that, but his blind support of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza have been an albatross around his neck preventing the majority of his base from actively supporting him financially or vocally, myself included.
When Harris was first endorsed, I mistakenly said on Bluesky that this would be my first time drawing her because she dropped out of the 2020 primaries so early. I did once in 2021 when the White House was still enforcing Title 42, and she told migrants not to come. Should she win, I hope her administration would change course and avoid the mistakes of Biden’s that have hamstrung the best domestic record of a presidency in my lifetime.
