Well, there’s the answers. The DNC has announced they will proceed with the roll call vote for nomination next Wednesday [link]. That puts Kamala on track to announce her VP selection around this weekend. And the cherry on the cake is Eric Holder doing the vetting for the Harris campaign.
Right on track, the process seamless. Almost as if this was the plan all along. 🙄 lol
July 22 (Reuters) – Former Attorney General Eric Holder and his law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, will conduct vetting of potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for the U.S. presidency, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Harris is running for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden announced on Sunday he was stepping aside.
A campaign spokesperson for Harris declined to comment. (more)
The top list of the VP possibilities are:
• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, • Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, • Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, • North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, • California Gov. Gavin Newsom, • Illinois Governer JB Pritzker, • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and • Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Which one do you think Obama will select?
My bet is on Mark Kelly.
(Politico) – Delegates to the Democratic convention could begin voting on the party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees as early as next week, under a draft plan released Monday by the Democratic National Committee.
The proposal is scheduled to be taken up on Wednesday by members of the DNC’s Convention rules committee.
Such a timeline, if it were implemented, could result in Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden’s endorsed successor, selecting her running mate by the middle of next week.
Harris, who announced her own bid just 24 hours ago, has already effectively cleared the field of would-be challengers. She’s drawn a cascade of endorsements, from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to every Democratic governor in the country, many of whom have their own national ambitions.
In a call with reporters Monday night, the DNC previewed their nomination rules, which they pledged would represent a “transparent, swift and orderly process,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. The DNC committed to a virtual nomination process back in May, defending against any Republican-backed legal challenges that might keep them off the ballot, particularly in Ohio.
“We will deliver a presidential nominee by Aug. 7 of this year,” Harrison added.
The DNC laid out three qualifications to be considered for the nomination: A candidate must file a formal declaration of candidacy with the DNC, meet party and legal qualifications to be president and secure at least 300 delegate signatures, no more than 50 of whom come from one state delegation. The DNC said it would provide a delegate directory to those candidates who were interested in running for the nomination.
The nomination process, depending on how many candidates qualify, will be completed between Aug. 1 and Aug. 7. (read more)
~ LIKELY SCENARIO ~
It’s all a performance folks.
Please remember, it was always going to be this way.
In the meantime, the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government is running on autopilot.

Meet Shawn Tillman.
@KamalaHarris
raised money to bail Tillman out of jail.
Upon release, Tillman brutally murdered a passenger at a rail station in St. Paul, MN.
Kamala Harris is radically liberal and dangerously incompetent.
Meet Christopher Boswell: Twice-convicted rapist kidnapper bailed out of jail by Kamala Harris…
Meet Donovan Boone: Charged with strangling his girlfriend and home invasion; bailed out by Kamala Harris…
Meet Darnika Floyd: Stabbed a man who refused to have sex with her to death; bailed out by Kamala Harris…
Pure Kabuki theatre. But they thought Trump would be dead. Next Zelensky plays his role and Kamala and Joe solve their war!
I nominate Rep. Hank Johnson!
HARRIS / Johnson 2024…them islands ain’t gonna tip themselves!
Are they sitting on multi-millions of completed (Biden / Harris) rigged ballots that have just become obsolete? Are they up against a ballot replacement production challenge now?
Not likely, they’ve probably printed the new ballots with the new names a long time ago.
It would be interesting if somebody looked into the government contractors who print the ballots and when the new plates were ordered. Could be very telling.
Open the envelopes and you will see Michelle Obama’s name already printed on them.
This is my guess. The courts would probably order that Biden/Harris ballots be counted as Harris ballots.
In some states I believe this wouldn’t even be necessary because when paper is needed for a recount or audit they just print out the ballot image in the machine and call that the ballot. So it really doesn’t matter what’s printed on the ballot ahead of time; they can always change it as needed to fit the results. Images can be altered with Photoshop, if the machines aren’t already set up to be able to alter the images (or create new ones out of nothing) internally.
Her donations since becoming the nominee is a money laundering scheme. Prove me wrong!
Act Blue was up and running before Joe could get his first nap in!
Fingers crossed for Whitmer. The Double Witch Ticket is so 2024.
If you like commie b*tches, vote double witches!
I agree here it will be either Kelly or Cooper from North Carolina!!! Mark Kelly and his twin brother ARE UP TO THEIR NECKS WITH THE CHINESE IN QUESTIONABLE DEALS!!! The Blake Masters campaign in 2022 WAS SO PATHETIC THEY NEVER WENT HARD TO NAIL HIM ON THESE CONNECTIONS!!! The Kelly brothers could give the Biden’s a run for their money when it comes to the Chinese connections!!! 🤔
I’m not sure that corruption ever figured into a modern Demonrat’s calculation. That’s what “ballots” are for.
Martha Coakley would make a great running mate!
Ok Sundance. I was originally going with Newsom / Rice.
Now that things have changed — Kamala and Newsom.
These two are on Teams Obama and Pelosi, the two powerhouses in DC.
I still see Newsom in the game. We shall see, not wagering any money on this. Lol
Newsom-Obama 2024
OR
Obama-Newsom 2024
Only remaining question.
BTW: This is how you don’t “run” for the office; you just wait until your underlings to crown you.
Kelly, to me, makes a ton of sense. He’s an almost nameless, faceless automaton that MIGHT help in Az, and probably won’t hurt much of anywhere else. He’s in a state “led” by a Democrat- which means Democrats won’t lose the seat right away. He’s also a globalist, which always helps in that party.
I haven’t followed his positions on Gaza, but I will say I think the Harris pick will be someone who is at least neutral, or has no record, on being pro-Israel. I think this is why it won’t be Shapiro, etc.
Kelly seems like just the kind of ineffectual little dweeb Democrats always seem to land on.
Mark Kelly=Lex Luthor’s doppelganger.
“In the meantime, the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government is running on autopilot.”
Or rather, its being run by a cabal behind the scenes, like it has been.
Watched a few clips of Kamala taken in the last day or so. First time I’ve actually watched her. My God, there is something seriously wrong with this damn fool, she can’t stop laughing. Drugs? The institution of US President has become a mockery, between biden and her now being swapped in to run with the full weight of the dems behind her. Think about what the rest of the world thinks about us now. That seems to have been part of the Plan
Doesn’t matter who the cackling meat puppet selects as VP. This election will be decided on two factors: (1) How many votes can the Dems get by cheating and machine manipulation? And (2) Abortion. Suburban women will vote Democrat 80-20. Trump has been trying to moderate the Rep’s position on abortion with little success. Evangelicals are not going to turn out for Trump, who they know is getting “soft” on abortion. Throw in RFK and this could be a close one. I hope not because if the Dems get control of Congress and the presidency you can kiss this country goodbye. We need a landslide for Trump!
BLM (ActBlue front for SEIU and the teachers unions) is already rebelling.
Bring on Michelle, as planned.
Deep state gonna Deep State.
There is your bumper sticker.
Can be reused in perpetuity until they are wiped out of every corner of our government.
He doesn’t have anything to lose. 😐
I’d think Obama’s choice for VP would be someone who, unlike Kamala, can actually communicate well (spew bs) and fool alot of shallow, unstable voters in the middle who could easily be seduced to the Left…+….and yet has no aspirations to run for Potus in 2028 in lieu of the possibility that their election rigging operations are somehow not enough to keep Trump out of the White House (this assuming Trump survives, for which we daily pray for him), as a failed candidate usually does not fare as well in future runs.
Harris / Kelly — Space Cadet and Space Cadet
Awesome!
Mark Kelly is an awesome guess. He’s a committed utopian, statist, collectivist and his whiteness will calm the utopian, collectivist i.e. liberal soccer mom contingent and his commitment will calm the statist contingent.
Kamala didn’t appear on a single primary ballot so how can Joe roll his money over to her?
