Potentially recognizing that there is going to be a contest. The Democratic candidate has to be chosen by the DNC in August.

    At least it’s going to be entertaining. Just like Rome before it, the USA runs on bread and circuses.

      The Trump/Julius Caesar analogy is pretty spot on

      I look forward to Trump’s adopted son ascending to the position of American Imperator

        Nah he’s a Sulla, his dictatorship will be focused on violently reinforcing the privileges of the aristocracy instead of “balancing” class interests under the imperial state

    No chance the DNC chooses her though, right?

      I think she’s the only candidate eligible to inherit the donations that went to Biden, so she’s got a serious chance based on that alone.

        Well, ”A candidate’s authorized committee may transfer unlimited campaign funds to a party committee or organization” [0], and the party committee can spend as much as they want on candidates, so donations are unlikely to be an issue (unless the Biden campaign splits from the DNC and doesn’t give any money back, which I don’t see happening).

          It wouldn’t be a problem problem, but it might annoy them enough that they decide not to bother trying another candidate. And what would the parliamentarian say?!? NYT:

          But there is a catch, one that has been informed by recent precedent. If someone other than Ms. Harris were to lead the ticket, the Biden-Harris campaign could certainly transfer that $96 million to a federal super PAC, which could spend it on advertising for the new Democratic ticket.

          That would be less than ideal, because money at an outside group cannot be controlled directly by the campaign, and super PACs have to pay higher rates for advertising time. But the money would not go to total waste.

        Yeah, that’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason. It makes for a smoother transition for the canpaign since she’s already on the ticket and everything already has her name on it

      I imagine the ERB people are really grateful they don’t need to do Biden again, even if they are still condemned to their increasingly-shitty Trump.
