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.
ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business. They try to make Crooked Joe into a brave warrior because he didn’t have the “guts” to fight it out — He quit! They then tried to make “Sleepy” look like a great President – he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not. ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, is not worthy of holding a Debate, of which I hope there will be many! MAGA2024
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/112833851440631840
Then when her poll numbers take a nose dive she can step down and they will have Joe’s replacement. Those disenfranchised 81 million voters are going to be mad mad, HAHA.
How mad can 15 million pieces of paper get? We all know that those 81 million ballots that Joe “got” in 2020 were in no way, shape or form attached to 81 million actual distinct living American citizens. Sadly, had Joe only gotten President Trump to have argued for holding the debate between the two conventions, he would still be the Democrat candidate for 2024 because the “revelation” of his diminshed capacity would still be hidden by the media and the Democrat leadership. Otherwise, how could they have turned that ship around so quickly?
I also remember the Republicans doing nothing despite all of the evidence that whistleblowers and poll workers were reporting. Hate to say it but they are part of the problem.
My guess is that Gruesom is pretending to support Kamalama knowing she doesn’t have long before her numbers soon have her being shown the exit door as well.
Then Gruesom steps up like the magnanimous team player and starts his schmooze play.
Change my mind. LOL.
….stick his hands in his back pockets and get to work…watching everyone else work
Uh so they would run another coup after the convention but before Nov? I think they’ll ramp up the ballet harvesting op as long as she’s within 1-5 pts in key states. By the way, twosome is nothing. He’s slick with nice suits but doesn’t have “it”. Comes off like a used car salesmen(no disrespect).
Two women? I’m not sure the country is ready for that just yet. Especially when one of them has been on the nest and trying to lay that egg for four years and the other was a key player in a plot to kidnap herself with a little help from her FBI friends and fiends! Maybe with the new illegal aliens they have a chance but that would be their only hope. Illegal aliens are easily controllable because Obama and Holder know exactly how to threaten and intimidate them with mass deportation threats and then blame everything on Joe.
I don’t know about Kamala being shown the exit door; after all, Biden was around for 3 1/2 years
when he shouldn’t have even been allowed in the door.
He’s been extraordinary all right. Extraordinarily destructive for the moral fiber of the country. Extraordinarily moving to destroy the Constitution and make the US a Democrat Dictatorship. Extraordinarily vulnerable to mind control. Extraordinarily adept at lining his and his family’s pockets at the expense of the American people.
He has fought hard for the working people. He worked hard to take away their incomes or at least diminish them to the point that they become welfare dependent (aka on the Democrat plantation). He worked hard to destroy the nuclear family because two parent households are only for the elites–control again. He worked hard to make the things that many consider necessities now become luxury items only for the political elites (car, house, food, clothing, etc). As far as delivering–he did. But not astonishing, more like depressing. Impactful? Yep, for destroying American citizens. Selfless? In that he was never in control but was merely a figurehead for the shadow government controlling him!
Wes Moooree

Wes Moore has the Obama /Vance blueprint.
Yup, Mark Kelly.
Agree. Than the Hobbit will appoint herself Senator, since AZ has term limits for governor. Appears a democrat senate seat is for life now days .
Please, oh please, pick Whitmer!!!
Sam Brinton! Harris/Brinton for the win!
🤣🤣
ANYTHING to get that evil demon out of my state!
Her ego is too big. She will never accept being the second fiddle.
Maxine Waters! Please please please – The “hiding in the hills somewhere” comments would bring therapeutic laughter all around. +side, Kamala would be a Mensa candidate in comparison.
…AOC for vice…winning ticket…
This…lol
What a thought.
Dumb and Dummer.
Maxine’s hair wig would steal the show.
Giggle box and wig woman.
😂
Well, can’t have Jewish person or 2 POCs or 2 women and/or mixing a POC/woman with an LGBTLMNOP+.
As liberal as they claim to be, liberals won’t go for any of that, especially a kosher.
And the ones that would be considered viable, i.e. Newsome and Whitmer, won’t hitch to a losing ticket because they’re eyeing 2028.
She’s probably begging at this point.
Today’s democrat party has a deep bench of unpatriotic corrupt marxists. Anyone “they” put up, will continue to do great harm to our Constitutional Republic.
.
IIRC, when No Name ran for president, the allowance was instituted in AZ that he would not have to give up his Senate seat in order to run for the federal office.
Hence, Kelly could be on the ticket, lose in the vp spot, yet retain his Senate seat for AZ.
Probably Newscum , he has already been anointed by the CCP.
Dr. Rachel Levine as veep on the Dem ticket. Somehow it just seems fitting for this complete clown show.
Oh geeze you win my prize for the best comment (although almost comatose to read all). Think it will be interesting to see the DEMS self destruct even more than have already. If Kamala passes go, I think I will go insane if she utters one more word salad utterance or I have to hear her turn on her “laugh track.” Maybe that’s the plan.
Jusr like the signals broadcast to some US Embassy. Don’t have any idea why this comes comes from, it might be a movie, but “they sh**t horses don’t they?” When it’s time to put the horse down Eric Holder will be providing the weapons.
Found the link. It’s a movie :
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065088/
It’s a creepy movie too. Ugh!
Somehow it just seems fitting for this complete clown show
Clown show? Aw, man, that’s harsh …
….the girl on the left…hot-tay!
Who’s the woman that is covering her breasts?
Tranny in a Rose Garden fete.
What Cackles doesn’t seem to understand is that as soon as the VP choice is officially made, she is expendable in Dopey’s eyes…
Think about it. Endorse Cackles. Put your choice for President in the VP slot. Stage a false flag to eliminate Cackles.
BTW – when checking a you tube video out tonight it was preceded by a Cackles ad “Trump evil, send money.” Hit refresh 7 times – all 7 times the result was a Cackles video (3 different ones, random order). Talk about putting another finger on the scales…good work Gulag!
either or.
I don’t think people in the USA understand just how corrupt and tyrannical ALL western politics are now
Everything is moving into tyranny
That’s why I predict world tyranny this decade
Easily
I think I have relatives in Hungary. Might need to look into that….

Sundance has called it perfectly.
This is the first part where the First Black (well not really) Woman President rules for her short time…
…only to lose to PDJT…
…while The Powers That (Should Not) Be work furiously to subvert people around PDJT and to capture back both houses to make a replay of their evil during his first term.
We need a lot more sand…
It’s not at all clear to me that old Joe is alive, or even that he was alive when he returned from Las Vegas.
But if he is not, then one reason for hiding it and temporarily keeping The Cackler from ascending to the Oval Office is that she would then lose her seat as the tiebreaker in Senate … losing the left the majority.
It is quite apparent that the current Democrat Communist Party of the USA has resurrected the old Democrat Slavery Party’s Tammany Hall system of the “Party Elites” choosing the Party’s candidates and pretending that the voters matter.
The leaders of the new Tammany Hall are the Kenyan Obama, Nasty Pelosi, Hawking Jefferies, Chuck Scummer, Hilldawg Clinton, Val Jarrett, et. al. Eric “Wingman” Holder is the Obama front man who will “handle” the Kamala problem. Stick a fork in Old JOE! He is done.
My bet Holder will pick the most radical DEI pick he can find. My best guess would be Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. However, I admit, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly could surely be in the mix..
We all know Obamany Hall is the controlling force behind all this performance the same as we all know the Obama cabal was behind the JOE! charade. I also smell that conniving Hilldawg Clinton in the mix. I believe they are looking for a way to dump the loser cackler Harris and Eric the Commie Red was picked to insure her failure.
Hilldawg Clinton is frothing at the mouth to have a rematch with President Trump and is working to usurp the Cackler. When the Clintons proclaim they are behind you, it is never a positive outcome for who they get behind. Get a second fork ready for the Cackler.
When the Clintons are behind you, beware the shiv…
might as well get the new emperor’s memes out and at the ready
Scotty Kilmer?
In drag?
Ring that bell!
I had a kulmulla type supervisor once. She cackled also and 90% of the time answered with, I know thats right.
She was dumb as dirt also.
a donkey would be a good parody of her toothy grin
I wanna know how many will turn down the offer… who in the HELL would hitch their wagon to that Train Wreck?
such are offers they cannot refuse
Pet stores sell rats as well as rabbits but a rat will never be as popular as a bunny…because of that damn tail!
It just gives people the creeps!
You can give a rat a bath, attach a little pink collar with jingle bells on it and put it in the front window of the pet store…but no matter how you dress it up, it’s still a rat, and most people don’t like rats!
No matter how hard MSNBC, CNN, ABC, The Washington Post, Alex Soros and all his globalist pals try to dress Kamala up to make her look appealing, she’s still a rat.
And America doesn’t like rats.
Kamala Harris makes DEIrector Cheatle look like she is in MENSA. Although people who are not pretending will have to admit Kamala “worked” her way up if you get my drift.
But if we were actually looking for someone who might not finish the rest of the Lightbringer’s goal, Andy Beshear would be my bet.
Sigh — lefty women were so excited about her being VP. They are probably just thrilled with the prospect of her actually being president. As always, failure is not a problem — Dems always fail up!
It is gut-wrenchingly sickening that that thing, that word salad expositor, that communist egotistically entitled cackling cliché spewing NON natural born citizen thing is to become the first female president of the United States.
I can’t believe this has happened to us. It’s like what happened to Minneapolis. It’s not even America anymore.
BUT. Since The Cackler should be far easier to beat than Mark Kelly, and she is the one who has obtained the delegates, I don’t think we should encourage her to step down for him or another to run; make the left live with their ridiculous choice.
It doesn’t matter. They’re all competitors in the same sick and evil twisted ideological game. America needs justice and the 2 parties have continued raping our constitution for much longer than we’ve been alive. We need treason charges far and wide with fortitude to see it through. America can’t heal until this evil is purged and God is everywhere again. I don’t see it but I’ll do my part in putting the boot to the communists throat.
Spit!
And I don’t say it enough but thank you for Conservative Treehouse. I’ve been booted from just about every so called conservative site but you put up with my cynicism.
Michael Avenatti to the rescue! Who better for VP? Kamala can just change her residency to Washington, D.C., and easy-peasy, they are in like Flynn.
The Creepy Porn Lawyer sent tingles down Brian Stelter’s leg back in 2019.. The geniuses on The View touted Avenatti as the person most feared by President Trump.
Avenatti is serving time, on multiple federal convictions, of defrauding Nike, Stormy Daniels, and his clients.
No worries. All he needs is a pardon from Cadaver Joe or whoever is signing Joe’s name on official documents now.
if she changes her residency to DC
I would suspect the party with Pelosi’s assistance
chooses Newsome
Whomever she selects, they will lose. Designed for it.
Kamala cannot be on a TV set for more than 5 seconds.
Guaranteed. She is unwatchable.
They are all pageants.
This Democrat process is a “perverted, twisted, crippled” process playing out before us. See The Hustler for the reference. I only hope the Demonrats were able to get the correct name on those thousands of, so far uncounted ballots.
Kamala is a GREAT choice…(as if they HAVE a choice) even better than Joebama……don’tcha know The Lightbringer is enthralled with such a ticket?
Wish I could celebrate with him….some doobage and Van Morrison…./S
How about the guy who carried Clinton’s purse in 2016? He knows the drill.
Oh no Sundance, how about a “chest feeding” degenerate to show the world how ‘progressive’ the late great US has become?
God help America.
MAGA
Drew Barrymore must be moist in her pants because Mamala could be President, or so she thinks.
Or did Drew know the plan and was promoting Kamala to be in charge as directed by her media bosses?
How does this new “ticket” qualify in each State when the filing date is WAY past. I know, they never follow any rules, but this is on each State – any of them brave enough to say it’s too late?
Then, there’s the issue of the ballots already printed, at individual State expense, or at least on order. This cannot be legal! The expense to individual taxpayers just went up!
Where are the Republican attorneys filing in each State against this illegal mess??? We should be raising holy H, at this point.
Oh please let it be the Whitbitch. Get her the hell out of Michigan.

Trump surviving past July 13th wasn’t in their plan.
Kamala Harris shamed by Jamaican father over pot-smoking joke (Father is named “Donald J -Harris”. Also her real last name should be “Emhoff” as that is the name of her husband/handler)
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/20/kamala-harris-father-pot-1176805
I doubt it’ll be Kelly.
The recent oligarch civil war is still raging, since Trump has survived their years long monolithic effort to remove him. Now the oligarch monolith is fracturing. Some will stay with Kamala, yes. Some tilting to Trump now. The war is ongoing.
Kelly has no natural support amongst the oligarchs. They may have supported him tactically in part, but strategically? I doubt it. He’s a wild card. The oligarchs generally purchase a sure thing.
Ukraine is lost, and Deep State and supporting oligarchs are about to take a severe hit here. Worse, their enemies have attacked Israel, and they have to choose now, and they will choose Israel, obviously. So, Ukraine is lost.
So, the oligarchic faction that willingly abandons the Ukraine disaster in favor of Israel will fight its corner in the civil war. Kelly is not their guy. I suspect Kamala has already come over with them, and so will the eventual VP.
The oligarchs agree on so much, almost all. To study them, you gotta explore the potential fissures between them, and see who might get dinged if those fissures widen. Deep State and the Uniparty are downstream of the civil war opening up these fissures. There’s a few more potential fissures, too.
Scoop: Senate GOP plots new attacks on Kamala Harris
https://www.axios.com/2024/07/22/kamala-harris-senate-republicans-nrsc-president
The fox is going to decide which other fox to parachute in to care for the chickens.
Shapiro, maybe Pritzker.
Wow, I didn’t see that coming. Kamala could not be a worse candidate. The gap between her in Trump is way too large to cheat.
I’m not convinced she’s the nominee.
I’d say it’s best to group these names into logical(guessed) groupings, and see which group wins out, and maybe why:
IC/State/Deep State/Uniparty/MIC: • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, • Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. These are pure stooges, and would try to do all things for all oligarchs. Tough to pull off in a civil war.
Boutique/MIC/Uniparty: • California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Pelosi and her oligarchs have a massive pool of ballots, but little else but appetite. Bigger crocs will subsume them.
Abandon Ukraine for Israel and cut out all dissenters: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, • Illinois Governer JB Pritzker
The Rest: A subset of oligarchs could purchase one of them. Kelly probably not, as he wouldn’t be a reliable purchase.
The oligarchs all plan on Dimon at Treasury and Powell at Fed, so they’re all set there. Now it’s about their unique interests. That’s the civil war.
So OBAMA Must have told Karmella he’s running the show, or No Go.
Kellly gives the appearance of being the most benign. He is also vulnerable in Arizona. Kamala may not realize what she is setting herself up for though by “allowing” Holder to make her pick for her. Holder may be the only person in history to be worse as AG than Garland. Evil does not begin to describe Holder’s “term” in office nor the damage he did in only four years to the UNITED States of America. THAT was the most divisisve period in American History (and, yes, I’m including the Civil War Years) when every action the administration undertook was through the prism of race.
‘Democrats Relish Harris vs. Trump Contrast’
Never before has a party’s biggest vulnerability been so suddenly neutralized — and then weaponized. At age 78, Trump is now the oldest presidential nominee in U.S. history, and the candidate known for mixing up names.
Democrats are salivating at the obvious contrasts between Trump and Harris.
Trump is a 78-year-old white male with a white male running mate half his age in Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio); Harris is the first Black, Asian American and woman vice president in U.S. history.Trump is a convicted felon who has been found liable for sexual abuse; Harris prosecuted alleged sexual abusers as district attorney and later served as California’s attorney general.Trump has boasted about appointing three justices who helped the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade; Harris has made abortion rights her signature issue.
Virtually overnight, Harris has revitalized a Democratic Party that had spent weeks consumed by the threat of its elderly, unpopular nominee losing the presidency in a landslide.
It’s going to get BRUTAL, watch the polls change by next week, putting Harris on top.
Joe would have been easy to beat.
https://www.axios.com/2024/07/23/trump-harris-message-fundraising
Just watching a slow motion train wreck.
Can’t imagine any capable vp candidate looking forward would want to be tarred with a potential blowout in November. Better to wait until ‘28
‘Harris’ VP candidates already have camps on Capitol Hill‘
At least three of Vice President Kamala Harris’ prospective running mates already have members of their state’s congressional delegation pressing their cases from Capitol Hill.
Several lawmakers, eager to see their states represented at the top of the ticket, told Axios they are privately making their argument to the Harris campaign or plan to do so.
Treehouse readers won’t determine the winner unfortunately. Independents will. 90% of the press will be 100% pro-democrat and 100% anti-Trump 24/7 until mid November. We have an uphill climb. She might very well be incompetent, but she’s less of a vegetable than Joe.
THAT could be a problem
Should she prove to be a bit more difficult to manage than Joe, she has to have a VP that CAN be manipulated
Enter Roy Cooper
Holder is in there now – partly for the symbolism vis who is in charge. You think she had a choice on that one?
Harris will have near zero real power if elected. She will perform as directed.
Neither one of them is competent.
IMO, they are both incompetent in their own ways.
The only difference now is that Joe now has an unnamed mental condition. But he was incompetent long before that ever happened.
Less of a vegetable than Joe? That’s debatable……she is the word salad maistro! And supposedly….has a brain!
And this is her brain on weed…
THEY have an uphill climb with a base that lacks enthusiasm.
Cheating makes up for that!
It is going to be tight, no blowout, and patriots are not in charge of counting ballots.
With Holder on his second fast and furious mission, his job is to deliver O’s 4th term.
And a probable 5th term
You are the only 1 who has commented thus far that seems to have a grasp of the situation, imho. 😢
I find it very telling that Republicans don’t seem bothered that Holder didn’t go to jail for his crimes, including Congressional Contempt- but Bannon is and Navarro did. They did nothing about Holder when they held the reins…
good point. I think for the more famous / infamous of the bunch, like Newsome and Whitmire, that would be true. But for the ones who perhaps have less name recognition, they might perceive this as an opportunity to get it. Like the old adage; their’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Its not like running for POTUS/VPOTUS and losing is all that harmful to a career.
Look at Romney, Ryan, Tim Kaine,…
