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.
Kelly
Evil incarnate. He will do everything possible to take away your gun rights.
Kelly has MIC donor
money he would bring from AZ.
Yup….like it has all been planned out.
Do you think he would subordinate himself to Kamala?
He subordinated himself to his wife, then used her shooting for power. He’s got big money.
Just remember this “Word salad is a type of dysfunctional language, sometimes seen in those with schizophrenia, consisting of an odd mix of seemingly random words and phrases. Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder that affects how a person interprets reality.”

I think this is a very likely scenario – now they can steal Arizona again, with impunity, and “astronaut beats Marine” in the VP category…
Yep I think this is spot on.
I can’t imagine anyone with future aspirations wanting to be on that ticket. However, strategically, the Arizona play with Kelly makes sense.
It’s a winning choice for him no matter the outcome. Even with a loss he will forever be “former astronaut and vice presidential candidate” Kelly. Gotta be worth at least 40% more in speaking fees with that addition on the title. Nothing like getting your resume enhanced with little to no effort.
People in Arizona do not like Mark Kelly. He won because our elections have been corrupted.
Machines and ballot drop boxes don’t care about feelings.
And will become VP because our elections are STILL corrupted.
Unless….
They have the McCains still doing dirty deeds.
I’ve read that he is not popular in Az.
A Nikki Haley aligned Super PAC announced they’re backing Kamala.
Harris/Haley 2024 — The “Preparation H” Unity Ticket You Deserve!
or hilliary double will be picked.
Gotta steal AZ!!!
Bret, are U up to calling AZ at 1% this year?
Machinegun Grabber Kelly
Continuity of Government, this should be researched deeply.
Time travel and ask the royal family
But I don’t live near any Costcos
My bet Eric Holder
Just like when W hired Dick to do the search. He only found himself eligible. Ha!
I’ve had Holder in the back of my mind for awhile now wondering when he would surface. Don’t be surprised when he names himself.
He looks like a badger. I am not kidding.
I suggest she pick Hunter Biden so the DNC can save a ton of printing costs by reusing old signs. If you don’t mind the order, BIDEN/HARRIS works OK for HARRIS/BIDEN. [/silliness]
That’s hilarious. 🙂
If it be JB Pritzker, Harris can FJB. Wherever they go they can be greeted with FJB chants.
I can’t stop laughing Uncle Al.
Yeah, that’s perfect!
So, we go from basement joe, to word salad cackler kamala, to crackhead hunter!
Who could ask for more?!
Notice I never capitalize anyone I don’t respect.
How about Hillary: Cackles/Cankles 2024!
So does this mean Newsome in the 2nd or 3rd round of voting at the DNC Convention is not going ti happen?
I think not, because too many people have finally seen that Noisome is quite stupid. Terribly stupid, even for a Dem.
And Harris isn’t? That’s the part of this that baffles me. Harris carries huge liabilities. She’s going to make it very hard for them to plausibly steal this one.
She’s been playing the fool and not doing anything just so she could get to this point. No liabilities like losing the Hispanic vote because of cracking down on the border cuz she didn’t. Mark Kelly specializes in keeping low profile. While I’ve appreciated the humor here I’m not laughing. This is very serious threat and in the hours that it has taken me to finally come here to say this it looks like everyone is lining up very nicely. Next year you might learn who Kamala has been hiding and you aren’t going to like it.
I don’t think that “cracking down on the border” would have much effect on the legitimate “Hispanic” vote. They are damaged as much as or more than most Americans by the influx of illegal aliens.
Huge divide and cost friendships.
Of course she is! Vapidity and smugness on top of stupidity. But the Dems are stuck with having to deal with her one way or another and Noisome is closer to an avoidable choice.
After the failed asassination of Trump they figure that this round is lost but they will try to make a good show with Cameltoe. Noisome is keeping his powder dry for 2028 and letting Kneepads take her lumps so they can dispense with her and her word salads and the sides of giggle dressing for the foreseeable future. The VP spot is just a trial run alternative for the 2028 Presidential/VP spot.

talk about stupid. listen to Harris.
Dems don’t care about stupid.
Heck, look at their bench.
It seems like the party machinery is lining up behind Kackles.
Empress Piglosi is not going to stain her pretty nephew with following this dumpster fire of an administration.
His turd will need another 4 years to polish…
theory is it would bring Arizona completely blue…
🤣🤣🤣
Arizona is SO red. Katie Hobbs and Kris Mayes won by election fraud and not by many votes. As you know many of us were denied access to the polls in November 2022.
People are livid about all of that. You never see a Biden sticker or flag. Trump flags are everywhere.
Tru dat!
Quite right as machines and ballot drop boxes don’t care about feelings.
Our daughter is stationed in Tucson. Illegals are flooding into the area, and she is trying desperately to get relocated to a safer base (2 babies under 3). The city of Tucson was given Federal money to (process, funnel, expedite – pick one) illegals through their city, according to our daughter. Pedestrians are struck by cars on a daily basis. Migrant tent camps are everywhere. She said the residents are furious.
Right there with Georgia, Jazz. But I love me some granddaughter named Giorgia!
“As you know many of us were denied access to the polls in November 2022.”
What has changed in 2024 that would grant Arizonans access to the polls that they were denied 2 years ago?
I’m waiting to hear.
After January 6 hunts started I never see them in district 8. NEVER.
https://rumble.com/v57kzsy-the-secrets-lawmakers-keep-in-arizona-the-real-findings-of-the-arizona-2020.html
Kelly is the logical pick…
NC seems like an easy W for PDJT…
But if the Ds feel they can steal it there, Cooper may be the choice…
All the others have obvious warts.
Harris/Cooper equals dumb and dumber.
She’s just been playing at that dumb thing. She doesn’t talk like that to her people. That right there should disqualify her but won’t happen. She took that spot, took that paycheck for 3 1/2 years and deprived us of someone who would do the job she wouldn’t do.
No, it’s not play. She has a history and every bit of it reeks of stupidity.
God help us.
Top Dems threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he dropped out, set him up to fail at Trump debate: Sources
Excerpt:
Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.
https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned
We have yet to see Kelly file for the Presidency under the rules quoted up above. Just what is Kelly’s national presence? I know only he’s another hypocrite, husband of Gabby, former astronaut & an identical twin. I don’t think he brings that much to the table other than grabbing guns.
He is another odd baldy dude that looks like Evan McMuffin and Utah Cox and Bezos. Not as ugly as NBA president Silver thought.
It gives them a pretense to cheat in Arizona.
I hate to say this because it’s shallow, but this is a blood sport, Kelly doesn’t have the ‘look’, his look is what we always called in peds/neonatal medical field FLK (funny looking kid) There have been FLK politicians before (Cheney, Christie arethe only ones I can remember) but he really does not have the look. They’re a little desperate though and may have to overlook that.
I think we also have to consider which of them are likely to be willing to run on that particular ticket. I imagine there aren’t very many that are interested…
It’s a losing ticket, whoever is on it. Whatever realists remain in that party are looking at 2028. Those people see that it’s futile for 2024, and are happy to let Kackles get crushed and then fade into oblivion. The uber Commies like Obama, Pelosi, Clyburn and Schumer will stop at nothing though, but they may have actually been outmaneuvered here. Joe’s endorsement of K after he quit may turn out to be the ultimate middle finger ever given to Zero.
Buttigieg had best decline, rather than debate Vance over East Palestine.
And then she goes into the basement previously occupied by one Joe Biden for three plus months.
Take Cooper cuz Mark Robinson is going to be NC next Gov :):)
Yep and he’s so dumb he won’t over shadow her.
New York Mayor Eric Adams Declines to Endorse Kamala Harris
https://www.newsweek.com/new-york-eric-adams-endorse-kamala-harris-president-1928224
Willie Brown too.😉
Who in the list could have future POTUS aspirations? The person selected may indicate the demonrats thoughts on their chances for victory. Pick someone who really doesn’t seem to have POTUS aspirations (Kelly, not Newsome) would indicate they don’t think they can win. Don’t want to pick someone who would lose and then have little chance in the future (the various governors, etc).
They could pick a possible sacrificial candidate and start fresh next round…….Hopefully.
Brett Baier falsely called Mark Kelly a moderate, so the uniparty has chosen Mark Kelly.
They’re both moderate communists.
Been lots of local news chatter the past couple days.
https://ktar.com/story/5583851/sen-mark-kelly-of-arizona-floated-as-potential-vice-president-running-mate-for-kamala-harris/
There is no such thing as a “moderate” Democrat.
There hasn’t been one of those since, who? Ed Koch?
We had moderate Democrats until Obamacare was passed. Most of them were pushed out or saw the writing on the wall and left in Obama’s second term.
Whitmer and Newsom are rising stars in the DNC stable. I don’t see the party throwing either into this cycle but I do see one or both giving keynote convention speeches, as Obama did in 2004.
“Right on track, the process seamless. Almost as if this was the plan all along.”
Something occurred to me today. Here in a purplish area of Massachusetts (yes, they exist) I have not seen a single “Biden 2024” yard sign or bumper sticker. NOT ONE. There has been nothing, in my area of Massachusetts, promoting Biden’s candidacy all year.
I’d be curious if people in other areas of the country have observed this as well. Because it seems to me like the DNC withheld its campaign materials, knowing this was the plan all along. Also, I fully expect these materials to begin springing up like mushrooms now that the switch has taken place.
I just commented above in this thread that I haven’t seen any Biden stickers or flags in Arizona.
I have seen stickers but neighbors aren’t putting up signs like they once did.
On Long Island, NY, I have seen exactly zero Biden signs, bumper stickers, or any sign of support, although here we usually don’t start seeing those until late summer or so. But I have already seen Trump lawn signs, many Trump flags in the back of pickup trucks, Trump banners on people’s porches, Trump flags flying in people’s yards and on their boats, and bumper stickers – especially since July 13th. The election will not be close on Long Island.
There is one on Mackey in Port Washington!
I have seen ONE Biden/Harris sign, in someone’s window facing the street.
That sign has been in that same window for the past four years.
In the meantime, the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government is running on autopilot.
hmmm
did the reaper harvest Joe ?
Does any one think now that Democrats didn’t rig the 2020 election? There were 10 ways they were ALREADY rigging the 2024 election in the year 2023. Democrats’ 2020 and 2024 election-rigging schemes? Nothing but 2 sides of the same coin.
Both cases show that there is no task the party of “democracy” won’t undertake to ensure its hold on state power. (In fact, Democrat efforts to rig the 2024 general election have been underway since Biden took office.
If any one needs further proof that Democrats will go to extreme lengths to rig elections in their favor; we see in the last recent few days how Democrats are rigging their own election.
Gretchen Whitmer.
Take it to the bank.
Then buy those veggie seeds NOW! 🙂
Whitmer has got that FBI kidnapping sting slung around her neck like the albatross. Makes her look really bad. She was a total nazi gestapo to her constituents during covid shut down. People there haven’t forgotten. Can not believe that she actually won Michigan second term. Spin that Dominion dial. round and round she goes. Where she stops nobody knows.
I believe she bowed out this afternoon.
Yeah, she’s vice-chair of Harris’ campaign.
A bank has no problem spotting a counterfeit three dollar bill.
So BO’s 4th term? I assume they already have all the ballots ready to count.
Omega4America has documented that there will be at least 1/2M mail in ballots available in every swing state. Unless they’re successful at stopping them from being mailed.
Wouldn’t be surprised if The One says, in an off the cuff way, why not choose Eric Holder to be Harris’ VP choice? in the same way GWB ended up with Cheney as his running mate?
Keep a close eye on what Harris does (assuming the fix is in and she takes the oath of office on Jan 20) and run Obama’s real agenda. Two birds, one stone. Having Holder right over her shoulder would keep the cackler in line.
Can’t have two Jamaicans on the ticket.
Mark Kelly
“Vote for me. Somebody shot my wife, and I’m an astronaut.”
buttplug because he checks the DEI boxes and he’s used to bending over and being controlled.
Plus the optics of a POC female being the Leader and the white male being subservient.
“Take that you patriarchs!” /sarc
The Executive Branch has been running on Obama “autopilot” since 2021.
It’ll be Kelly. His name seemed to pop up 3-4 days ago seemingly out of nowhere as if it was already a foregone conclusion 🙄
It won’t matter, Kelly won’t move the needle as well as Giggles so we just need to make it Too Big to Rig!
If we don’t get more than 1/2M new votes in every swing state, it’s not too big to rig.
See Omega4America.com
I don’t disagree, but the other side to that is you assume that Dems will show up. I believe when all is said & done, Dems stay home & we increase Black & Hispanic male voters even more so now then expected. We may even take California, that’s how unpopular she is. No amount of re-branding is going to save her once Oppo-research starts coming out, she has a horrible record & reputation. Mark my words, she will self implode & take this campaign with her.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Pritzker.
…..but I haven’t yet made one correct prediction. So there’s that.
He’s way too fat & ugly. He’ll lose the women vote.
True. But…Biden was demented when running 2020 campaign from basement with VP pick Kamala polling at 1% ( I believe)- yet somehow- here we are.
TDS + ballot harvesting
but he will get the pervert vote
since MO and HC werent really in, i too think Kelly maybe tho Mi, but she brings her baggage.Kelly brings anit guns. Have a good week all be safe
Still can’t see Harris as the candidate, although I readily admit it may be a deeply rooted defense mechanism on my part. Good Lord, that laugh, that voice, that vapid cranium of hers.
I was looking at YouTube yesterday, and Harris’ face popped up in a campaign ad! I let out a gasp and closed the page! She’s pure evil.
Gretchen Whitmer.
They’re gonna go for a twofer, since they want to make sure all the power goes to “people” with different body parts than men have.
wait… what is a woman?
A lot of Democrats were taking comfort in having their “Grandpa Joe” in office. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been spiffying himself up and putting himself in front of cameras as if he intends to step into the National Grandpa role.
Stink, Stank, Stunk.
That only accounts for 3 of the 9 contenders. Can we do the Hollywood Squares thing? I’ll add skank, swank, humperdinck and tiddlywink. (And yeah, the bottle of red blend is about half full now…)
They can’t sell a Kamala win; even the left can’t stand her. We need to decide what we are willing to do, if they commit fraud again and deny the rightful win to PDJT.
They could get rid of Kamala by enforcing the rule about eligibility IF they wanted to. Paving the way for the VP.
I wondered about that – it appears that the plan was to force Joe to step aside and then nominate Kelly at the convention, but someone (Dr. Jill?) threw a monkey wrench into their plans by sending out the second tweet saying Kamala was the “one” and now they are having to scramble because they can’t rig 80 million votes for her and they know it!
So, do they bring up the eligibility issue and force her off the ticket and then Kelly gets the top spot? And what would that say to every woman and minority who has sold their soul to the Democrat party? Nope, sorry, actually, we’re going with another white guy…can you IMAGINE the chaos?
The Democrats are basically robbing all of us while in power. We need a national divorce if they retain power.
If they win, only God will save us.Overthrowing democratic elections is now the norm for the left.
I wonder if they practice at home for their activities abroad, or are their activities abroad practice for their home election actions.
You might want to copyright that before Kamala steals it:)
Could it be about securing Biden’s $100 million?
I’m sure that’s exactly what’s going on. That’s why they don’t want to let voters decide because they’ll dump Kamala and all of that money will need to be sent back to the donors.
So 7 governors, 1 senator and a Buttigieg walk into a convention. Whoever performed worst will be the one chosen, because the Chosen One decides whose career is over when the Dems don’t win the election.
Cooper is disposable.
“It’s all a performance folks.” True that……
“I just can’t wait to vote for my candidate of choice from the primaries during this upcoming November election!” said no democrat voter, ever.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
oh crap! What would Putin do? What would i do if i were him?
..better go down and buy another case of ammo and wild turkey.
For the woman who attracted a grand total of 129 votes in the 2020 New Hampshire Primary.
And dropped out before Iowa.
Even Democrat voters can’t stand her.
This is their “Democracy”.
PDJT is going to crush this fake nominee well outside the margin of fraud.
P.S., she’s an ineligible anchor baby.
I think you are mistaken. I have met women in red Oklahoma that can’t wait to vote for her.
Women who have not been paying attention and don’t know her at all. Her word salads are almost as bad as Biden’s stuttering mumbles.
They don’t know that they are low info voters and while everyone brings up the responsibility of voting nobody brings up the responsibility of doing your research and that’s exactly the way our “betters” like it. Then people like Samuel Jackson confirm that it’s totally OK to vote for someone based on skin color and NOTHING ELSE.
Our exclusive interview with actor Samuel L. Jackson reaped some interesting results, as the 63-year-old revealed the reason why he casted his vote for President Barack Obama. “I voted for Barack because he was black,” Jackson confessed.”Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people—because they look like them.”
https://www.ebony.com/samuel-l-jackson-says-i-voted-for-barack-obama-because-he-was-black/#:~:text=Jackson%20reaped%20some%20interesting%20results,because%20they%20look%20like%20them.%E2%80%9D
He also did a get out the vote promo stating the importance of having the opportunity to vote for someone “who looks like me.” Never bothered to qualify it with the other necessary criteria. Goes right along with Hillary’s stated intention to make voting mandatory.
That “looks like me” has been echoed by so many dimwits since in almost every field of endeavor not realizing that they are saying I only got the job because I am a person of color. They think that they’re being edgy and revolutionary. I immediately eliminate that individual from my mind as someone to remember. It’s not a thought process, it’s just natural healthy revulsion as if I just ate some bad food.
NC Guvnah Roy Cooper
Never heard of him.
That’s the plan.
Kamala is the Border Czar that never talked to the Border Patrol Chief. She is an empty suit. She does make a good word salad though.

@AliBradleyTV
I just confirmed that VP/Border Czar Kamala Harris has not talked with Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, who has been in the position for the last year.
The same goes for retired BP Chief Raul Ortiz who disclosed back in March that he never “had one conversation” with the Border Czar during the two years he held the position under the Biden Administration.

Last 2 Border Patrol chiefs say Harris has not spoken with them
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/border-coverage/kamala-harris-border-patrol-chiefs
Are the dems going to figure out that their votes in the Primary have been wiped out? That the Party is choosing the candidate and not the voters? I wonder how long it will take for them to figure this out.
Don’t hold your breath friend.
They must not care. Or they’re too dumb to notice. You don’t any stories about Dem base voters being angry. The media is acting like this is all normal and how it’s supposed to go.
“I wonder how long it will take for them to figure this out.”
Many will not.
Many that do will rationalize being screwed over for numerous poor reasons.
At this point, IMO very few will “switch sides”. IMO those that do will be far fewer than in 2016. In 2016 you had people energized to vote that had no interest in voting in decades.
My now 87 yr old mother was one of them. She has stayed engaged ever since.
lets face it,,,, all kamala can offer Putin, —realistically, honestly, no-joke…
is an exaggerated form of fellatio.
he aint stupid. He KNOWS!
Let’s go for broke, Pete Buttigieg
Wait… what happened to the plan for Gavin Newsom to be their presidential nominee?
He doesn’t want to lose to Trump. 🙂
He’s keeping his powder dry, or powdering his wig, until 2028.
It might happen, stay tuned.
My logic:
-white guy because even Democrats can’t tolerate a double-DEI ticket
-beta because the guy needs to be subordinate to Kamala
-needs to have existing name recognition
-needs to attract a demographic
I’m sticking with my Pete Butti prediction from yesterday.
Are there prizes for getting it right? 🙂
It’s Holder or Petey.
I’d luv to see J.D take it to Buttjob at a debate over East Palestine. That is one for the ages. But otherwise, you’ve got 2 incompetents (Harris & Buttjob) who have sucked at their jobs for almost 4 yrs now. I don’t think those 2 together are sellable to most Americans.
