Thank you, Joe

President Joe Biden has decided to drop out of the presidential race.  He supports his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to be the Democratic presidential nominee  I celebrate this decision and his choice.  Thank you, Joe.

He has been a very effective president, from ending the disastrous COVID pandemic by getting vaccines into most of the nations arms, to his infrastructure bill, to his support for fighting global warming and climate change, to his masterful leading the democratic nations to stop the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Thank you for a job well done 

I support his endorsement of his Vice President. 

Kamala tics three really important boxes.

First, she is a woman and women are the top Democratic constituency, and this should be the women’s revenge election for the outrageous Supreme Court Dobbs decision to overthrow Roe v Wade’s empowerment of women

Second, she is black and the black vote is a significant Democratic voting constituency. I think blacks were angrily supporting Joe because they thought anti-Joe movement was actually anti-Kamala.  

Third, she still tics the Incumbent box and presidential prognosticators Alan Lichtman insists that a challenger overthrow of the incumbent predicts a loss. Kamala is the incumbent party and is not a rejection of the incumbency. 

She may not be my first choice as a campaigner but this former Prosecutor should easily be able to Prosecute her lifelong Criminal Opponent. 

Go Kamala. Take down the orange fascist menace and his extremist theocratic, oligarchic, anti-democracy cult following!
