#MSNBC mentions in passing that Republicans are demanding #Biden immediately resign from the presidency. Yeah, whatever.

#Politics

#MSNBC talking about some voices in the Democratic party calling for a "mini-primary" before the convention, or at the convention.

There are no mechanisms for this.

The DNC would have to hold a vote to change the convention rules. Why would they do that? It would only introduce more chaos.

My guess is that #Biden will address the convention, release his delegates, and ask them to vote for #Harris.

I don't think the DNC leadership will tolerate any other nominees.

#Politics

#MSNBC reports a DNC conference call just ended. #Biden has endorsed #Harris but has yet to release his convention delegates.

#Politics

Personal observation ... For years, right-wing talk radio described #Obama as a "Half-rican," because he was of mixed ancestry.

I suspect that offensive term will be resurrected in the next few days.

The only thing the racists hate more than a black person is a mixed-blood black person.

Among her other duties, VP #Harris has chaired the National Space Council, an advisory body which, to be honest, doesn't have much influence on #NASA or US space policy.

That said, a Harris-Kelly ticket, with a retired astronaut as VP, certainly would seem to give #Space more visibility in the campaign than it usually gets.

For what it's worth, Harris chairing the last National Space Council meeting.

The #Biden #Harris campaign website still hasn't been updated. I guess the campaign I.T. doesn't work on weekends.

Idle thought about Mark Kelly (D-AZ) as a potential VP candidate ... If he wins, he takes a Dem vote out of the Senate. Arizona has a Democratic governor, so she would appoint a Dem to fill the seat until a special election. That creates the risk that a Republican could win in the special election and flip the Senate to the GOP.

I know ... Hunter Biden for VP! That way, the Dems can say, "We're running a convicted felon too!" 🤣
