Can the delegates endorse Kamala before convention?

Media outlets pushing this as if the Dems are going to have to scramble to get a candidate.

No way this happens if they don’t have something in mind.

It’s gotta be Harris

As a registered democrat I would vote for Harris. I probably would have voted Biden but didn’t feel great about it.

I don’t think this does anything. I don’t think Harris will defeat Trump. Gotta wonder why exactly this is going down. Maybe the polling showed things they didn’t like and it’s not been talked about or revealed?

Harris will be the nominee. The question is who will be her running mate.

Shapiro seems like a safe pick to me. I feel like it's gotta be a boring white guy in a swing state. He will probably mop the floor with JD Vance in a debate, for what that is worth.
 
Harris won’t get the moderate vote. If they run her they are handing the election to Trump and allowing him to destroy the country.

It needs to be a very powerful and unifying moment.

I think this will be handled well ahead of the convention. Biden probably got assurances of that. There might be a few that don't go along with the program, but I think even most of the furthest left in the part are pragmatic when it comes to things like another Trump presidency.

I just don't see this being like 2016 where Hillary's people ran a snobby campaign, the DOJ and Russian interference hurt her a bit, and people didn't think Trump could turn out as bad as he did.

Everyone knows who Trump is now. Harris isn't despised or envied in the way HRC was. Dems will coalesce around her.

I'm thinking it's going to be Roy Cooper from NC. Darkhorse. NC's been turning purple and he's older, he has nothing to lose and a lot to bring to the ticket.

Shapiro and Whitmer still have stuff to do in their states. Also, picking Vance, from Ohio, won't endear the Trump ticket to PA and Mich voters -- they hate all things Ohio, especially Ohio State. Vance's positions on things like women's rights won't play well in those moderate neighboring states, either.

In picking Vance, the GOP might have given the Dems a break in PA and Michigan.

I could see it being Harris/Cooper but that's a boring safe route. I think the Dems need more vim and vigor. Harris/Kelly is probably the best bet.

Can't. Candidates from the same state can't share a ticket.

I suppose if he resigned to run that could happen though.

I thought because she was VP she wasn’t a California representative anymore. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
