Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Won't this be the second time in as few days you've been warned about such remarks?

There are hundreds of posts on here discussing Trump's sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels. I'm only repeating the claims made by Willie Brown, one of the greatest politicians in modern American history.

An American friend of mine has been talking up Beshear a fair bit.
I don't know anything about him but he's apparently been very impressive during his stint in Kentucky?

He also thought it was funny that the RNC just spent 3 days telling everyone why Trump is better than Biden, only for Biden to get off straight after

I think we can do better than amplifying GOP’s sexist attacks Martin.

Like any candidate she has some weaknesses but also some strengths. More prosaically we only have ~ 100 days and she at least has a campaign org already set up and the only one who can use the Biden/Harris campaign contributions.

I didn’t know anything about the relationship with Willie Brown but it seems like a big bunch of nothing. They had a public relationship for many years. Brown was legally still married but had been estranged from his wife for about a decade. Then Kamala eventually got a job years after their relationship had ended.

On a scale of sexual impropriety from 1-Trump this is about minus 1000

He is physically painful to listen to.

Interesting article

Clintons back Kamala Harris but Obama does not commit

Joe Biden and several influential Democrats backed the Vice President – but then her hopes of a smooth coronation took a blow

We’ll see if these polls change once she is no longer a hypothetical nominee


She basically has 100 days until the election to define herself to those who don’t know her well and contrast against Trump.

Tough job but hopefully she can do it.

I'm not sure many democrats know much about her tbh, she was an uninspiring candidate in the run up for many, and a quiet VP bar some small gaffes (tiny in comparison to Biden).

The biggest issue she has is for all the swing voters who pretend not to play identity politics but still will (woman, non-white, Californian, lawyer, POC betrayer, etc.).

Strong running mate from a southern state and she puts her lawyer eloquence on and she has a really good shot. With Biden, Clintons and hopefully Obamas coming behind her too fingers crossed it gets easier.

Biden didn't tell us why he isn't running. Is someone in his close family ill or something?

He's got covid, plus to put it midly his age is against him with his gaffs - only right they have a swift competition to choose the correct candidate his nomination may win it- more than likely anything to beat two fascist taking over the free world - that Trump is defeated imo critical in so many ways of the future of the world.

He did appoint her to a post, assistant DA of Oakland iirc, whilst they were dating in the mid 90s which was very inappropriate. Although CA politicians at the time (and still unfortunately) had a bit of a habit of selecting their friends for posts.

However their relationship was pretty brief and I’d say in the 2000s has been more of a millstone round her neck than a benefit to her getting elected to more senior positions. Things like promising not to apply the death penalty probably swayed more voters to her side than anything Willie Brown said.

He is just a really weird, deeply flawed, irrational clown.
