Wow. That's telling. And it was more 'vote against Trump' than it was 'vote Biden'. Just imagine if the Democrats had a decisive, commanding candidate that moderate conservatives could get behind. Is it too early to put Fetterman out there for 2024?
Not if he wins the Senate seat by an amount that makes it clear moderate conservatives voted for him over a tv con artist. President Obama was nominated at the same point in their Senate term. Plus, with a likely Dem governor, it wouldn't hurt the party should he win (I think...I'm not exactly sure what the rules are in PA for replacing a Senator). Still VERY premature, of course.
The ever so elusive moderate conservative voter that we're keen to please, who are they, where are they, and why do we think they going to vote democrat? Clinton and Biden were the moderate picks. It doesn't seem like they have tamed the flaming division. We could go to Klobuchar, Manchin, or Romney, I'd still have a hard time believing it will tame the division, or finally, find the Dems some huge pocket of the mystery moderate republicans.
I think Fetterman/Harris would be a good ticket. Or maybe some other running mate, not sure if there's some residual Biden stink on Harris or what sort of beef moderates have on her. Better than Beto, who seems to be a grassroots favorite among lefties.
If President Biden is out, Harris is out. The stink on her is of her own making. She’s done nothing to stand out.
Maybe not or maybe behind the scenes. Strategically if they see he can't win, then I am sure they play any card they have if he is steadfast about running.
I feel bad for Hunter. In this family being forced to launder money. Can't kill himself so just runs through poon and drugs as a coping mechanism. If his dad was a shareholder instead of a Public Face he could have been stuffed in a corner office with a fake job and had a good life.
Biden embraces a signature Trump achievement on first trip to the Middle East, aiming to bring Israel and Saudi Arabia closer https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/13/politics/joe-biden-israel-saudi-arabia-trip/index.html excerpt: When President Joe Biden arrives here on Wednesday, he will do something he has never done on a foreign trip: Embrace one of his predecessor's legacy achievements. While much of his foreign travel in his first 18 months in office has focused on reversing the foreign policy of former President Donald Trump and shoring up battered alliances, Biden on his first trip to the Middle East will embrace the Trump-era Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries and pursue an expansion of growing Arab-Israeli security and economic ties. In the lead-up to the trip, US officials have been working to deepen Israeli-Arab security coordination and broker agreements that will inch Israel and Saudi Arabia -- which do not have diplomatic relations -- closer to normalization. People familiar with the matter said Saudi Arabia is expected to announce this week that it will allow all commercial flights to and from Israel to use its airspace and allow Israel's Muslim minority to take charter flights directly to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Biden will also fly directly to Saudi Arabia from Israel, a moment that he called a "small symbol of the budding relations" between the two countries. Senior Biden administration officials said full Saudi-Israel normalization remains out of reach, though covert coordination between the two countries has expanded. "It's changed the security situation in the Middle East," a senior US official said of the Abraham Accords signed in late 2020. "Our job is to go deeper with the countries that have signed up and to go wider if we can." more at the link

the New Normal from the Democrat-cheering side of the media? White House assurances on inflation spark backlash from frustrated swing-state Democrats https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/14/politics/democrats-frustrated-biden-inflation-2022/index.html excerpt: (CNN) The White House has been so wrong, so often, on inflation that its latest assurance that the painfully high cost of living has peaked, after more record-busting data, didn't pass muster -- especially with swing state Democrats in an election year. New statistics on Wednesday showing consumer prices rocketing 9.1% in June year-over-year -- a 40-year high -- dealt another blow to a reeling administration and posed a fresh test of President Joe Biden's capacity to drag his party out of a deepening political hole. After months of failing to accurately predict the inflationary crisis, the White House was back on a tightrope from which it has often toppled, trying to show Biden feels Americans' pain but confidently predicting relief is around the corner. Biden insisted in a statement that the figures, while "unacceptably high," were "out-of-date" since they did not properly take into account 30 days of falls in gasoline costs as well as easing prices in commodities like wheat. The President's claim on the granularity of the figures may well be justified. And Biden is hardly the only Western leader saddled by high prices following pandemic-caused supply chain disruptions exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. But his message was also oddly discordant given the months of frustration millions of Americans have felt. While improvements are possible next month, prices are likely to remain elevated for some time. And since Biden last year said high inflation would "change" more rapidly than people expected, while his aides were calling high prices "transitory," his predictions are unlikely to instill much confidence in imminent relief. more at the link
I'm a moderate conservative voter and a Democrat, there are a lot of people in the middle that resemble me and I think a large segment of voters are like me. There is nobody that can tame the division even the division within the Democratic party. Moderate Republicans are the reason we don't have Trump and 2 senators from GA.
