Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.” Details of the meeting are only coming out now.
Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket. Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.
(Via Politico) – […] The discussion in that meeting of the California delegation, which includes 40 members, took place in the Capitol on July 10, at least partly focused on the complicated next steps for the Democratic Party if Biden left the ticket. And they specifically talked about the potential political downsides of party elites quickly crowning the vice president as the next nominee, according to four people familiar with the discussion, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.
[…] The concern wasn’t about Harris’ strengths as a candidate — and in fact, several people made clear Harris needed to be the party’s next pick — but instead centered on worries that party bosses were choosing the president, rather than the party’s base.
“Nancy was leading that charge that it needed to be an open process,” according to a person briefed on the meeting, who was granted anonymity to avoid blowback from House leadership. (link)
Additionally, the list of democrats who are calling for Biden to make an exit announcement now includes members of the congressional black caucus. This is the first crack in the only remaining Biden coalition that was standing firmly in his defense.
WASHINGTON – […] Hours later, four more House Democrats, including two who hail from the congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — groups that have strongly backed Biden — released a joint statement calling on Biden to step aside.
And then another and another. And another. By the evening two senators had joined.
It’s a signal that the party has run out of patience and believes a decisive moment is at hand — and the latest indication that Biden has failed to staunch the flood of Democrats urging him to step aside since his disastrous debate performance on June 27. Since then, more than 30 Democrats have called on him to step down while top congressional leaders are urging him to reconsider his decision to remain in the race behind closed doors.
Hakeem Jeffries is also reportedly telling any members who wish for Biden to step aside that their timeline to make that announcement is now. According to Politico, “aides to House Democratic leadership, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have told members as recently as Friday that if they want to call on the president to step aside, the time to do so is now, according to three people familiar with the conversations.” (link)

I love it! With their future so uncertain, Democrat “leaders” are unable to remove the Biden family by promising what Joe, Jill, Hunter and the clan want and need most: Immunity from future prosecution.
I don’t think Jill is going to let Biden drop out.
Probably. But, Jill, in actuality, has no real power. They tolerate her.
Jill could reveal who is actually behind the curtain, and the deal they made with the deep state. when Joe was installed. She probably has the equivalent of Epstein’s black book. She can use it for money and leverage.
Exactly – that’s why the price that the Biden Crime Family is so high. They’ve got the goods on everyone in D.C., just like everyone else has the goods on them. Typical Mexican Standoff.
Oh, but she does- she has Joe and the large pot of money attached to his campaign.
You’re right- the DNC can boot him (SD’s article) but doing so puts them inna conundrum. No direction for them is good.
I posted on it- not repeating (it’s down thread) but it’s worse than a rock and a hard place.
No immunity, no mercy, and no quarter!
What concerns me the most is a Harris/Obama ticket in which if they defeat Trump then Harris would be President for a few months and then they would find a reason for Harris to step down and then Barry Obama could have a 3rd term. Since he would not be elected President the 20th Amendment would not apply. The democrat ticket must be crushed by MAGA
You are mistaken. You cannot be a VP if you do not qualify to run as President.
Who is gonna enforce it? The Supreme Court? And what army?
Kamala doesn’t qualify any more than Obama did.
This uniparty is lawless….total disregard in order to destroy.
He didnt qualify the first two terms due to non citizenship
Isn’t Obama the President now anyway. What difference would it make?
Why is this misconception still circulating? Obama cannot be VP. The 12th Amendment states:
“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
Obama is ineligible to be VP and will never be VP for anybody.
True. But then your argument is based on them adhering to the constitution, which might be a problem.
If they win O will become their pick for the Supreme Court
Harris polled at less then 5% before she dropped out of the 2020 race, I say bring it on, Trump will crush her as well.
If the DNC bigwigs successfully remove Joe, they may allow Kamala Harris to get the top billing if only to let her get crushed by Trump. That way they never have to bother with her again. Yes, that means 4 years of Trump, but during that time they can invest in a couple of rising stars to groom them for the 2028 election to go against JD Vance.
And she was getting trounced by Bernie Sanders… in California.
Everyone realizes Joe believes he can win because he has the cheat machine but just can’t say it aloud apart from senile moments?
I’ve always thought that Narcissist Joe believes his own made-up stories and it’s worse now with his dementia.
I think pResident Brandon actually now believes he won the last election and, since he’s the Great Joe Biden, he’s the only one that can do it again.
That’s why it’s been so hard for the Dims to convince him to drop out. He believes he won with 81 mullion votes and he believes he can do it again and get even more votes.
I’m pretty sure he really believes he’s the only one who can defeat PDJT.
(Edited typo – H.R.)
Totally true statement. Brandon believes
Actually he said it out loud in 2020.
That face is so ugly it could make a freight train take a dirt road!
He looks like the Rev. Henry Kane (the main antagonist in Poltergeist II)in that pic:
I am ordering popcorn by the pallet. 🤣👍👌👏
If they pick Hillary, all the ads will be her getting but hoisted into a limo, the chicken neck head swivels, NS call for her medical records, Uma, and she is a bit of a crone.
Sounds like Nancy is stating that Joe doesn’t have the balls to stay in the race…
Also sounds like Nancy is a racist, misogynist trying to bypass such a highly qualified WOC. Shame, shame, shame…
So, whats the argument, behind closed doors?
“K is dumb as a sack of rocks, we have to replace her.”
“So, Joe is an idiot, and we installed him, and propped him up for 4 years,..we can do the same with K.”
“K can’t beat Trump, even with our cheat machine.”
“Well then, NO ONE that we have, can beat Trump. So, might as well have HER lose to Trump, and we’ll save Gavin for ’28.”
Michelle Obama?
Just stop….seriously.
But Dutch, the conundrum for them:
They keep Kamala, they are all in on the President but it allows for easier cheating; however not enough to win. And then the down ballots are toast.
They choose anyone else- they give up on President but have chances down ballot.
But not choosing Kamala has IMO bigger fallout than just not winning the Presidency.
And, Democrats, how stupid are you as a voter block? Seriously, how stupid.
Refer back to what they did to Bernie when he was going to beat Hillary. Now, they have been pushing FJB for four years, he’s the best, competent, on top of things, the Democrats man! And when people pointed it out: meh, cheap fakes.
They run a one candidate ballot for primaries. And now, they are going to do again what they did to Bernie….but worse because they will replace him with someone you never had a chance to weight in on because they didn’t run in the primary.
And they tell you stupid Democrats that us MAGA are a threat to Democracy….lmfao, you dang dumb ass people….look at your own primary, 2016 and more so now. Stupid fools.
Me to any libtard: “Tell me more about this threat to our democracy”
Any rule(s) changed or created by the DNC will be acceptable within the framework of ” by any means necessary.”
This is a re-enaction of the scene in the movie “Fargo” in which the obnoxious accomplice was being shoved into the grinding and roaring woodchipper by the lunatic murderer as Sheriff Marge Gunderson appears.
U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a long-serving Democrat from Texas, has passed away at the age of 74. Pancreatic Cancer.
Does Abbott name a replacement?
Nothing good to say.
Lots similar comments on gateway pundit!
Well, bye.
Does Abbott name a replacement?
Anyone?
No, they have a special election, I believe
No – Vacant Representative seats are only filled by elections – primary & then a general. Doubt there is time to do it before Nov, but could be wrong about that.
Article I-2:
“When vacancies happen in the Representation from any state, the executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies.”
The governor names a replacement for a vacant U.S. Senate seat not a House one. A special election would have to be called to have someone fill out this current term.
Suppose Newsom gets the nom- do the Dems have the same restrictions regarding two nominees from the same state should Harris ( another Californian) be on the ticket as the R’s? Just curious
Harris can register to vote in Washington DC.
Problem solved.
Actually, if the truth were being told she’s not even Constitutionally eligible.
With the ballots already printed and delivered… Brandon has to be the nominee. It is Harris they have to find a black female replacement for.
My state hasn’t even had a primary. We are a long way from “ballots already printed”.
It’s written into the Constitution that the President and VP cannot be from the same state.
No it isn’t. It says “The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. ”
So it is binding on the VOTES of a single state’s electors.
<“do the Dems have the same restrictions regarding two nominees from the same state”
The restriction is that the electors (in this case California) cannot vote for both President and VP who are “inhabitants” of CA. Assuming we know what “inhabitant” means for this (eg, does Harris “inhabit” DC?) The obvious solution would be for CA electors to vote for another VP (though you have the problem of states forcing electors to vote for a party’s official candidate). In that case, no one might get a majority electoral college vote for VP and the Senate would decide.
The Constitutional restriction in this scenario is: The California electors would have to cast their votes for either Newsom or Harris, they would not be allowed to vote for both of them.
Pelosi’s Nephew is so dislexic that he cannot even read. Newsom has ruined California, land of $6 gas.
He can’t fix a state, a country is a helluva lot tougher!
He had plenty of help, starting with moonbat brown, who should have never been allowed to run again. He illegally served 4 terms.
Lotsa oil out there, Califonry way..
Pelosi is the devil’s bit..h
Botox will get her way, she always does. And we all know who she wants to run.
The wonder od KaMALA is that she will be the First Prostitute President of 50% Indian, 25% White and 25% Black Jamaican slave owner blood raised in Montreal, Canada.
Exactly. She NOT Constitutionally eligible!
Born to parents who were in the U.S. on student visas at the time of her arrival into this world.
Mob Boss Lady.
Would love to see how the Dems are going to spin Biden not being well enough to run but still capable of remaining in office until next Jan.
“Pelosi Calls for Open Convention as List of Democrats Calling for Biden Withdrawal Increases.”
And just where were all these concerned democrats on the day before that first debate?
These people are turning pretending into an art form all its own.
I’d like to see the decrepit old coot and the hideous battle-axe duke it out in the Thunderdome.
Two (wo)men enter, one (wo)man leaves.
It’s a pity Tina Turner isn’t around to oversee the fun.

Open process?
Oh that’s rich, coming from pelosi….allegedly and anonymously speaking, of course.
Funny, for my whole life, I have watched Presidential debates, and after each one, read op-ed opinion pieces, debating whether Debates actually had any effect on election outcomes.
And here we see incontrovertible evidence if a debate having a major effect on election outcome.
Nanzi is all for a transparent process now, when it suits her purposes, but was just the opposite during the House behind closed doors in the basement Impeachment hearings, because it suited her interests.
Ironic the old, white rascist mysoginist pervert is losing his black and hispanic support, and its that that signals the end.
I guess he still has Whoopies support, but thats about it.
Fractal, the fractal computing company, says that if the election were held next week, Trump would lose. The Democrats are starting off with a potential advantage of 400,000 to 500,000 illegal votes in the swing states. NGO’s have been registering illegal aliens under addresses where people don’t live. For example, abandoned warehouses, vacant strip malls, etc. The illegal aliens don’t vote themselves. Instead, these leftist NGO’s have a vast network of people who pick up these fraudulent mail-in ballots at these locations where people don’t live and the NGO’s fill them out to vote for the Democrat candidate and drop them off at drop boxes. Corrupt postal employees work with NGO’s to facilitate this fraud. Check out Omega4America.com for videos explaining all of this in detail. The key to stopping this is to provide lists of the illegal registrations to the Secretary of State in each swing state so that the state does not mail them to these locations. Unfortunately, it may be too late to keep enough of these illegal ballots from being mailed. Looks like the only way Trump could win is if he gets so many votes that the Democrats cannot introduce enough illegal ballots in time to overtake his massive lead. It’s not looking good for Trump right now, folks.
Problem is, the laws are pretty specific on how to challenge an active voter registration (AVR). It’s not just a matter of “providing lists”.
The reason the Democrats want Biden out is because they are going to cheat again like they did in 2020 but this time it will be hard to convince people that a decrepit, quickly deteriorating Biden beat Trump again. With a younger candidate they at least can make a plausible argument that enough people chose to go with a younger candidate. And of course the media will push this narrative aggressively.
Nance really needs Damien Von Hairgel in the WH. Somebody has to be able to keep the DOJ off of both Pauls. Sr. Isn’t going to stop drinking and crashing and Jr. May have to answer some tough questions about Burisma..
Also, Kash Patel might look under the hood of her miraculous stock trading vehicles.. Sounds like twubble..
Waste of time. Trump will take over the White House and get rid of some of the communists in it!
It’s all about the DOWN BALLOT RACES.
Clyburne has also floated the Open Convention but included that Harris would be involved and fight it out with the others.
I could have sworn I just heard him say he did not support a work around Harris , that if it was not Joe Briben then it would be Harris HOWEVER I don’t trust a word any of they say.
He also said the polls were wrong and that he was still ridin with Biden. So who knows
Well, that’s the beauty of this whole thing- a power vacuum is forming in the DNC and you have several factions all vying for control and power: the old Hillary contingence, BHO and his group of radicals, and now, the Pelosi wing (half of her family is in office as governors: Hochul, the govs of Washington abd Oregon, and Newsome).
They will eat themselves because BHO’s group of radicals won’t relinquish without a fight. It’s not 15 years ago.
I suppose that pesky Constitution might try to be in the way again ?
Oh well, it won’t be the first nor the last time they ignore and trample over our rule of law.
<“Constitution might try to be in the way again”
In the way of what? Nothing in there about “parties” or “party nominees”. It’s all a state function “Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors”
I am loving all of this!!! Democrats in turmoil is what they deserve.
Bullet Proof Trump 2024.
I’m Ridin’ with Biden on this.
As long as Dr.Jill says he is running he stays and there really isn’t much they can do other than assure his defeat by stopping the money flow.
I am surprised the Hur audio hasn’t been leaked yet.
Give it time, give it time.
An open transparent convention but scripted down to the last word.
Holy cow I have went from “Creepy Crooked Joe has got to go” TO “Hey Joe please don’t go ” IN record time.
I so hope he gets to stay in the race because he has earned his chance at feeling the crushing defeat that is headed his way in November.
Everyone knows if it’s not Biden it will be RFK………
Although the calls favorably adopted by MSM are gaining momentum, the Democrats remain divided!
Yes, the key is if the DNC 2024 rules committee goes ahead with the “virtual roll call”. You have the 739 “super delegates” but the other 3,933 will be whipped by their 57 “state” delegation heads to fall in line.
DNC’s convention rules committee met yesterday, it’s credentials committee meets today. If it goes like it’s planned, virtual roll call vote to nominate “Sleepy Joe” will take place between 8/1/24 and 8/7/24, nasty public debate about leaked private conversations included.
The demon-crats installed a corpse in 2020 who did not even campaign. He is a physical wreck.
They will install whoever they desire and demon-crats voters be damned.
Why aren’t Democrat voters raising hell about being disallowed to elect a candidate of their choice?
perhaps a way to put her nephew, Newsome, in the White House with her pulling his puppet strings?
*Doctor* Jill is holding out for a sweetheart deal. She’s got the first ballot sewn up. That alone is the million dollar ticket and Joe isn’t about to ride into the sunset without a wagon load of cash.
The Biden Campaign released a statement on Friday that they are “in it to win it”! Without Joe’s consent, he ain’t goin’ nowhere and the DNC can go pound sand. All they can do is leak stories to the New York Times. Joe’s a street thug and it is showing. .Well, son of a b___”.
Where’s Pierre Salinger when we need him!
Talk about a coup!! An open convention when the nominee with enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot hasn’t declared that he isn’t running? What are they waiting for? A “medical condition” to quickly arise? Biden needs a food taster and so do the members of his family.
Just think, 6 weeks ago the Democrats were touting Biden as the greatest thing since the invention of the gas powered automobile!! The were in complete denial that he had any form of dementia. They downplayed his falls and his gaffes.
Then came the debate and suddenly the sky was falling and we were in a terrible place. Then they called for a cleanup on aisle 1600 and, lo and behold, the cleanup was worse than the debate. Now the rats are jumping ship, reversing everything they ever said as though they actually believed it in the first place, and calling for him to immediately withdraw from the campaign.
Remember how they downplayed the Hur report. No basis for it they said. Overexaggeration they said. Not important they said. What changed? How about one honest answer from Pelosi, Schumer or Obama? The one thing that changed was that the American people finally got to see the real Joe. They kept him locked in the basement in 2020 and stole the election with the Covid rule changes. They discounted EVERY piece of actual evidence of the steal by labeling those who wanted answers as conspiracy theorists just like they did those that questioned the origins of Covid and the vile jabs. The truth is coming out and Democrat elites are terrified of THAT. Remember how they poo-pooed Joe’s admission that they had the most extensive vote stealing operation in history. They denied it all just like they denied their involvement in GoF research and the development of Covid. They blamed Russia for the rise of Donald J. Trump, for the “disinformation” that turned out to be truth, and for Hunter’s laptop.
How many lies must the Democrats be caught in before even their loyal plantation voters cry foul? THAT is the greatest fear of the Democrat privileged few. I wonder how many of those pictured above truly believe they are doing what is best for the country and how many are simply doing this to deep the party in power and themselves rolling in illicit cash. My bet is 32 for the cash and power but 0 for the country!
Get ready for Mooch aka Big Mike.
Just stop already, that will not happen.
Biden has to run in order to bring down the party as it is today, they are between a rock and a hard place and still brainstorming, there are two side in war we see the bad side, while the good side are working in the shadows, America needs saving the good guy are making head way watch and enjoy. remember they cheated and election, that is treason.
Interesting: The Democrat Party calling for a democratic method of choosing their next candidate. Will wonders never cease ….
If you ever wanted to know how Democrats roll, this is it. The U. S. Constitution, laws and decorum are absolutely meaningless to Democrats.
Baltimore Nan’ and Chuckles will not be able to dump Fraud Puppet 2020 (our installed president), but they will sure try.
Anti-democratic? Yup.
Bullet Proof Trump 2024.
It’s purely a matter of the DNC 2024 “call to convention” and convention rules. Nothing to do with Constitution or laws.
My oh my how the democrats are couching their words to not say how inept any Harris ticket will be. Run Joe run, make them do a coup on you as well as they did to Trump.
And right now Biden is asking for too much in the opinion of the DNC kingpins. However, as they get closer to the convention, the price may seem right given the polling. I’m sure the main asks from the Biden clan includes a full pardon for Joe and his extended crime family, a $50 million book deal for Jill and he keeps his entire campaign war chest, appointment of Hunter to be the ambassador to Colombia (gotta keep him in blow), among other things.
Sure seems like the overthrowing of elections to me, by a concerted group of policitians, after the citizens have already voted and decided.
Are we gonna’ pretend none of that happened either?
Sorry, citizens don’t “have a vote”. Delegates do.
I think if they announce Newsome over Kamala tge DNC will have another problem on their hands – a bigger more violent volatile problem .
And if they do: Trump’s team needs to attack and point out how the Dems use minorities to get votes and then throw them away- it opens the door to flip “look they’re racists!” back onto the Dems.
They are screwed no matter what…either decision screws them.
However if they use Kamala- they are all in on the Presidency. They go with Newsome- they are in on down ballots. They can’t do both…
The cheating- Wisconsin is front and center….out in the open, even with media reporting on it.
That’s a lot of stats in play. That is where I would concentrate my assets.
The whiners are saying they are sitting ducks. Please send troops.
And by troops, we all know what they mean. 😉
He’s too far gone to run but they’re ok with him serving the rest of his term. Square that circle. Dr. Shrill and the Huntard will have 6 more months of running the country. What could go wrong?
Hat tip on “Dr.Shrill”
6 more months of ruining the country. FIFY
Similarities—-Habitual criminals, keep committing crimes instead of working. Dimorats, keep lying and cheating instead of doing something for the people.
