If I were DNC Chair, here’s what I’d do in the first 30-60 days:.1. Cut ties with consultants & special interests.2. Bring all Dem orgs to a summit.3. Build a roadmap for 2026 together.4. Hire a fresh digital team for a stronger online presence.

Kamala can do this. I’ve been saying it for weeks. She’ll have the cash, infrastructure and name recognition to get us across the finish line. We’re finallly seeing the data to prove it. Pair her up with Shapiro or a governor from the Midwest and let’s win this thing.
It's never really as cut and dry as it looks, but it's an open secret that the Biden team's argument behind the scenes has been that he has to stay in because Harris would do worse. There is very little evidence for that, and a lot of data that suggests she just has more upside.

When I voted in the primary, I was unaware that Joe lacked the mental sharpness to really attack Trumpism, Project 2025 and defend his record. Stakes are too high, there are no second chances. We have to win in November and Kamala is ready to go. Please Joe, step aside.
When I voted in the primaries, I didn’t consult George Clooney, Tim Miller or Steve Schmidt, and I voted for Joe Biden. I stand by my vote. Like Pete Buttigieg said: What he’s really good at, is BEING president.

This proves Kamala has a higher ceiling. She maybe even or a little behind in head to head polling now, but she can gain with the right message, rollout and campaign schedule. She’s kind of our only shot at salvaging this.

I’m highly offended that the Sanders campaign has decided to paint all Warren supporters as affluent because they don’t know our stories or struggles. I’m with Elizabeth because she’s a unifier not a divider. She builds coalitions and not silos. She knows how to get stuff done.

I’m a 34 year old African American male. My parents divorced when I was 10. My mother was my primary guardian and a school teacher. When I was 12, she went back to school to get her masters degree. She completed but because of her student loans and our household expense she could.

I need everyone to start viewing the Joe crisis through the lens of an independent, because if you're a democrat and you're currently tweeting about the election, my assumption is you're voting for whoever the nominee is at the end of the day. I'm concerned about Independents!.

Reasons why Kamala should run now:.1. Biden won’t make it 4 more years.2. Kamala will excite more voters.3. We’d get to vote for a Kamala VP/Administration vs have it established while in the middle of a term. 4. More people will get active (donate & volunteer).5. She can win.

I’m sick of “the coconut tree is racist”people. No one is calling Kamala a coconut. If she had referenced a maple tree there would be a maple leaf. Context matters. Any references to the coconut tree is 100% fine. We have massive engagement and enthusiasm and they’re being weird.

Biden should step aside and Kamala should step up. That would be a nice media shift. Then we go on an all out media blitz of commercials, radio, some interviews. Put Kamala on the road with some big names. It’s possible, we just have to believe.
The smartest thing Dems could do is plan to yank back the news cycle on their terms on Monday. Letting DJT ride the hero wave until election is ridiculous. Now, they've been gifted a reason to lose that is not their fault so they are going to take it!.

So Merrick Garland’s seat and now the most recent hypocrisy with Ms Anti Roe v Wade. You’re ok with Republican Senators packing the court with conservatives but not ok with the court being balanced again?.
I would never vote for Trump, who is despicable. But I’m almost certain to stay home rather than associate myself with a man who won’t take Court packing off the table. Those of you who are defending Biden’s behavior had better hope I’m the only one who feels this way.

Voters don’t want this. A smooth transition to Kamala would be best. Let’s move on. Get to Trump / JD. There’s work to do now.
A Dem senator, eyeing the weeks ahead, tells me the party needs to “throw it open” if Biden drops out. This senator acknowledges @VP would have “an inside track” but says a contested convention would be galvanizing - and get them in the “rarefied air” of Trump-level attention.

This is why moving forward we must demand open primaries for every cycle. Just because you are the incumbent does not mean the democratic process should be rigged for you.
One under discussed thing is majority of dem voters didn’t want @JoeBiden to be the nominee back in 2023. It took a disastrous debate performance to get donors & congressional dem to be against him. What if he agreed to debate earlier in 2024 with @marwilliamson & @deanbphillips?

For the people who voted for Warren but now back Kamala for VP. When Biden asks his VP if he should cut the Defense budget by 10% to help marginalized communities, do you want the person who says yes or no? It’s that simple. Age has nothing to do with progress.
