    People want a ticket they can be excited about to make sure people get out there and vote in November. While potential Biden voters are not going to switch to Trump, there’s a real chance they might stay home. That’s essentially a vote for Trump.

      yeah but 100% no replacement will get people to be excited. There is always a chance that potential voters will stay at home no matter who is running. I won’t be one of them. Well actually I will because my state does mail in.

        People are less likely to stay home if they are excited about the ticket. Democrats aren’t very excited about the Biden/Harris ticket right now. On the other side, Republicans are very excited about the Trump/Vance ticket.

          true but what ticket would make them excited? Not just republicans are excited about trump/vance. I know I am and it certainly energizes my vote.

            I can just speak for myself. I’d be more excited about Harris or Whitmer or Shapiro or Newsom.

              can you say why though. I like biden because of specific white house actions that came out of this term. Because of that I like harris next in the hope she got the experience and will continue with the current direction on most things (I think bidens term was helped by lessons learned from obamas terms). The others. I would be more excited with yang.

      Yeah, the Democrats really need a Hail Mary. Kamala is the best bet based upon where she is right now.

      Yes, it’s a risk, but not as risky as keeping Joe as the candidate.

        I don’t even think Kamala is a Hail Mary. I think she’d be the favorite to win in November.
