Actually think the Democrats have - to my intense surprise - played an absolute blinder here.
I agree. Behind the scenes somebody fixed an agreement for Kamala not to be challenged. She got her feet under the desk at lightning speed. How did it happen? Who pulled the strings? The Dems are supposed to be crap at unity. The NYT has an arselickey piece about Kamala brilliantly pulling it off by just phoning everyone. But there must be more to it than that https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/us/politics/kamala-harris-democrats-nomination.html

The dems are absolutely not going to win relatively easily. Might just be close now, but it's going be too tight to call. IMO.

Actually think the Democrats have - to my intense surprise - played an absolute blinder here. Wind totally out of Shrapnel Trump's sails, Genocide Joe no longer a thing and the only doddery old white man in the race now is standing for the Republicans.
Throw in the JD Vance sofa-shagging hilarity and it all adds up to a superb week or so for the Democrats. I think they're gonna win relatively easily here. People have now got something to vote for rather than something really shit they have to accept with as much energy as they can muster to prevent something horrendous happening.
