    I’m hesitant to make the comparison but I think it applies. Biden is like Hakeem in Toronto. He has moments but has lost a lot of his steps. He’s not completely done but is well past where he could carry a team.

    Biden is basically an example of political endurance via camoflague.

    He survived so long as a "tough on crime" Democrat, consistently leaning into the red zeitgeist as much as he could, and plied his longevity and the relationships that came with it into his golden ticket as Obama's VP, which, if we're being honest, is half the reason he won in 2020 (the other half being Trump doing Trump things).

    He's not really Hakeem as much as he is Steve Kerr, Andre Iguodala, or Robert Horry. Above average to good, but mostly just in the right place at the right time.

    WOW -- a full rebuke of both Biden AND Harris by the Democrat elite donor class.

    Ocasio-Cortez: Democratic ‘elites’ who want Biden to drop out want Harris off ticket

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...iden-kamala-harris-democratic-elites-nominee/

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a swing at Democratic “elites” who are pushing for President Biden to stand down from the 2024 race, warning they are also “not interested” in seeing Vice President Harris atop the ticket.

    Her comments came during an Instagram Live on Thursday night following former President Trump’s highly anticipated speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he officially accepted the GOP nomination for president.

    “If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “They’re not going to be fully honest, but I’m going to be honest for them.”

    “I’m in these rooms. I see what they say in conversations,” she continued. “I’m here to tell you that a huge amount of the donor class and a huge amount of these elites and a huge amount of these folks in these rooms that I see that are pushing for President Biden to not be the nominee also are not interested in seeing Vice President being the nominee.”
