2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'

Kamala couldn't reach 1% support in her home state when she ran in 2020.

The fact is that Biden is behind and has been for some time.

Citation needed. The polls I've seen have all been pretty much neck and neck.

FiveThirtyEight average of national polls shows Biden was only briefly level and now the gap has opened up again.

I guess Biden won't be doing any interviews with Carl Bernstein:

Carl Bernstein: Sources say Biden’s debate ‘horror show’ far from a ‘one-off’

blackchubby, you are a smart guy -what do you think are the Democrats best options? And if you had a magic wand, who would you want to contest the election?

Looks like President Joe Biden is staying in the race til the end. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...tep-rcna160104

Here's another polling average which is even worse - Trump up by 2.9% nationally.

The picture in the swing states is not good - Trump is well ahead in all but Wisconsin.

Another Question For My Fellow Posters: President Joe Biden says he's not leaving,and will remain in the race til the end,even though most polls have him trailing Donald Trump. Do you think that by him staying the course,is an attempt by him and his campaign
to squash all the calls from Democrats for him to step aside and let somebody else run in his place?

Polling results have not been reliable since at least 2016. Hillary Clinton was supposed to win, according to polls. Since Biden was elected, Democrats were supposed to lose in midterms but didn't. Initiatives to preserve abortions were supposed to fail but didn't. Also, today is July 3rd. The election is in November.

I think if the Democrats won't support their own candidate (who has pledged delegates and millions and millions of dollars in campaign contributions) then there's no reason for anyone else to support their candidate. They need to learn to commit and support. Hand wringing won't move the needle.
