ActBlue Rakes in Nearly $47 Million in 7 Hours After Harris Campaign Launch

I'll be joining that group as soon as she secures the nomination. I don't trust the Republican Party to pull some kind of a zinger just to upset the apple cart.

I have to say, though, that I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast the division in the Democrat Party disappeared, actually almost immediately after Biden made his decision.

When I used thr word "zinger" in my #3, I was thinking about Speaker Johnson's threat to file a lawsuit over "switching out" Harris or Biden, which he claims is illegal in some jurisdictions.

House Speaker Mike Johnson reiterated Sunday that any attempt by Democrats to sub in a new candidate in place of President Joe Biden is likely to be met by legal challenges.

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Johnson said, "Every state has its own system, and in some of these, it's not possible to simply just switch out a candidate."

Johnson's assertion, which echoed remarks he made during the Republican National Convention, suggests a strategy Republicans could be looking toward should Biden decides to withdraw from the presidential election. "I think in states where it can be contested, I expect that it will be, and they'll have an interesting battle on their hands," the Louisiana Republican said Thursday of a possible switch.

Technically, Biden has not yet been formally nominated to be the Democratic presidential candidate and won't be until a vote of the delegates selected to the Democratic National Convention. Still, Johnson said there might be grounds for a challenge, given that Biden was the overwhelming winner of the party's primaries.

"I think they would run into some legal impediments in at least a few of these jurisdictions," he told host Martha Raddatz. "We'll see how it plays out."

I don't know how serious this threat is . . . or if it's just another Trump engineered "Hail Mary" . . . but it sounds like Biden's decision has thrown Trump and the GOP into a tailspin.

Trump, as usual, will respond with anything he can think of to create chaos in the Democrat nominating process, even if he has to take it all the way to his BFF's in the U.S. Supreme Court to get his way.

#8 REIN

You could be right. The next presidential debate is Sept.10th. (the Democratic Nat'l convention is Aug. 19 - 22.)

However, Trump himself may be looking for an exit. He's pushing back on ABC because he says they're biased. So he wants FOX (lol) to host the debate.

Harris is not going to agree with THAT idiotic idea.
