Harris 2024

Something I said six days after Trump’s attempted overthrow of the United States government:

The aged leaders of both parties are beyond their “best if used by” dates. Biden has said privately he would be a one term president, and I hope that’s what he does. This raises the prospect of the next four years being a de facto co-presidency. Harris 2024?

Media-um Well

As it turned out, Biden dropped the idea of being a one-term president, and Harris was a typical low-profile vice president. I was losing respect for Biden until he finally accepted reality and dropped out of the race. Harris has a lot to prove between now and election day, assuming she is confirmed as the Democratic Party nominee.

It’s all over, except for the voting. Trump will serve another term in the White House.

“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” — Republican Vice President hopeful J.D. Vance

What an irresponsible thing for a United States senator to say. I see this event as being the latest in a long series of mass shootings. What Vance should be doing is promoting an assault weapon ban.
