I actually think Harris would by default expose the deep racism and misogyny inherent to Trump and the MAGA party—they wouldn’t be able to stop it from consuming the campaign, as we are even seeing with J.D. Vance’s wife right now.

And she is far, far smarter than Trump, Vance, and most of the MAGA politicians at the forefront of that campaign, so would also highlight the idiocy and chaos of the “movement” at pretty much every point without even really trying.

I think Whitmer would also be a great pick from a competence standpoint, but I am not sure she will disrupt the Trump campaign in the same way.

I am still to be convinced by Newsom, if I am honest, but I should probably not go in to my reasons right now.

Otherwise, as usual, you and I generally agree on the ramifications of this decision.

All of that said, I think I’ll just go for that nap I mentioned before I go down the rabbit hole with other posters actually sharing very questionable opinions! ;-)

Kamala will expose MAGA batshittery purely by standing.

They'll overreach. Possibly she'll win just by doing what Biden did last time. Let Trump hang himself.

This. The GOP will not be able to help themselves. Many are already calling her the DEI candidate.

I’ll be amazed if it’s not Harris.

If you’re a Gavin Newsom you’ll want to keep your powder dry til 2028 surely.

Sadly I don’t think there’s much they can do now to stop Trump this November.

Maybe 2032 though. If Harris somehow wins she’ll run for term 2 obviously. And he’d need to position himself ahead of her in 28 if she loses, assuming she’d run again.
