The 2024 runner-up is weighing a 2028 bid that evokes dread in the vast majority of Democratic operatives and donors. Why? Aidan McLaughlin spoke with more than two dozen of them to find out—and get a sense of her deliberations behind the scenes.
I think the problem is they tried this. Kamala was frontlined initially by the Biden admin. She was crazy unpopular, a bad public speaker, and really terrible off the cuff on questions. She’s just a very poor politician, or maybe a politico from an era that doesn’t exist anymore.
The most support she had was when Biden dropped, before she talked. If Biden had dropped later and the elation and excitement that was generated by him dropping out was carried into the general, Kamala wins imo.
I keep hearing she needed more time, no. She needed less time, the country had forgotten she sucked when Biden dropped, she had plenty of time to remind them.
