2024 US Presidential Election - Kamala Harris/Tim Walz vs. Donald Trump/J.D. Vance

[That Venice Bitch 26,854]

While we’ve had quite a few threads for the various events that have already happened this campaign season, we didn’t yet have one for the general election.

 

Former President Donald Trump chose US Senator J.D. Vance to be his running mate at the Republic National Convention on July 18.

 

The majority of the delegates won by President Joe Biden have since pledged to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention, to be held next month. This makes VP Harris the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

 

We may not know Harris’ VP pick until the convention, though sources say the following are currently being vetted:

- North Carolina governor Roy Cooper

- Arizona senator Mark Kelly

- Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro

- Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer

- Minnesota governor Tim Walz

- Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also seeking the presidency, running as an independent. Neither he nor his running mate, billionaire Nicole Shanahan, have any prior political experience. Also seeking the presidency as an independent is philosopher Cornel West, along with his running mate Melina Abdullah. Jill Stein will be the Green Party’s nominee, having also been the party’s nominee in 2016 and 2012. Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat will represent the Libertarian Party on the ballot.

 

The election will be held on November 5, 2024.

Do we think there is a chance fot Kentucky’s governor as well for VP?  Saw that he was one of the most popular governors in the country

Hmm interesting, he looked like a really good match to me 

especially taking into consideration his popularity and his progressive views in a traditionally red  state

I think the title of the thread is a bit premature, as Kamala is not yet an official candidate (although it seems almost certain).

As described in the OP, Kamala has gained the support of the majority of Biden’s delegates. She is presumptively the party’s nominee

Biden might die before the election, which would make her the President. He hasn’t been in the public eye for a few days. If that happens, and he dies, it would give people the opportunity to see how she does perform as the President. 
 

Trump was President for four years and he has a strong base though.

Kentucky is a weird state bc they’ve only elected 3 republican Governors since World War II, yet they are pretty solidly red in federal elections.

lowkey want Pete B. for Kamala's VP

[Strangelove 1,803]

Trump already won the election.

 

Why not have Joe resign and Kamala become President and figure out a way to FDR her into her second term? 
 

Just an idea.

Far too soon to say who's won (or even who is winning). Kamala just raised $100 million in largely grassroots donations. The party has banded behind her. And all the attention is on her. 

 

Keep in mind, no polls have yet been conducted with Kamala as the main choice for the Democrats (all of them were in the context of all in which you came Biden still being the presumptive nominee). 

 

Only a fool and a contrarian would want to claim this election is decided one way or another.

i’m excited to have a candidate who can ijbol here and there

Additionally, it wouldn’t be “FDR-ing” her into the Presidency it would be “Truman-ing” her into the Presidency. Which any wannabe pundit should at least get right.

I didn’t misspeak. You’re just wanting to sound eclectic (for some reason?). 
 

Pretty funny to think you can have a set up of DT/JB/KH/DT all in a span of less than ten years.
