Very unlikely. She has repeatedly mentioned she will not enter politics.
I think its safe to presume Kamala will be the candidate. The VP pick is up for grabs though. Not sure who they will pick.
I think in a 1v1 debate she'll do fine against Trump. But questions remain whether she can win the actual election. When she's the official nominee and not a hypothetical anymore, it'll be interesting to see the polling.
I'll vote for her
Who's the one who looks like Mathew McConaughey ?
I assume swing-voters who were worried about Biden's age won't find any excuses to not vote Harris.
Trump hasn't really been up against someone who can make him look like the clown he is.
Buttigieg
And Harris has those attributes. She also spent 3.5 years as the VP.
I really don't know if this is good or bad. Which speaks to the dire situation American "democracy" is in. Biden wasn't a good candidate this time around, and I'm not sure Harris is either. Ideally Biden would've announced he wasn't running ages ago making it possible for the Democrats to figure out what to do. I hope they've been working on some kind of plan in the background before this was made public.
I agree, and I don't know. Some of the people on the CAF don't seem to like her.
That's probably not true given that Harris' popularity is pretty much where Biden's is, and she doesn't have the excuse of saying its because she's too old.
Those who were always going to end up vote republican will easily find a reason.
That's the one.
Unleash the mysogynist racists!
She will be going up against the oldest nominee who is displaying clear mental decline.
It will be interesting to see how the media handles this shift in reality.

Well done to bernie and aoc for tying themselves to this genocidal corpse when everyone else could see he was done for
Congratulations to Trump. This is going to be a landslide.
Americans are way too thick to vote for a name that complicated.
I heard Kamala isn't particularly popular.
But, hey, she loves..Venn diagrams, wtf !

To the Americans on here. Out of the two parties today, which has the biggest core base of voters? As in those they can absolutely guarantee will vote for them? Maybe it's better to look at States due to the way your elections work.
From the outside I would expect Trump to put up similar numbers to last time and therefore the republicans gave the larger base. Without Trump I'm pretty sure the Democrats would traditionally have the larger base though.

Yep there really is no guarantee Harris will do any better than Biden.
Their “strategy” didn’t even last 10 days. They are truly the dumbest people in American politics.
She doesn’t want to do it
MAGA - about 35 million.
Dems - probably a little less.
It's the independents that matter.
Yes but this is the US election we’re talking about. It’ll be identity politics galore and people will complain about it whilst engaging in identity politics themselves. It’s basically unavoidable unfortunately when you have a black woman running for office.
Biden would be giving the nominee the best chance if he resigns, otherwise he will be still looming over the campaign, in my opinion.
How vicious will Trump's rhetoric be against Kamala, y'all reckon?
It is only 6 or 7 States that decide the result. Dems should pick the ticket that has the highest probability to carry these States.
Newsom is a happy man right now.
Republicans having a meltdown on Twitter. Some calling anti democratic, apparently the party shouldn’t choose its own candidate 
Alright, listen up, because here’s a gem from the guy who nailed it when he said last year that Biden’s too ancient to run and that Trump would absolutely wipe the floor with him in the debates.
Kamala Harris? Yeah, she's a real powerhouse—if you count zero accomplishments and the appeal of a soggy toast. Plus, she's got the glorious distinction of being on the ticket with a guy who bailed mid-race. It’s super annoying because this race is totally winnable. Now, if someone like Whitmer, Beshear, or Newsom (assuming they’ve got the guts) jumps in, they might actually have a shot.

The initial name change // purposeful mispronunciation is probably only a few tweets / the next rally away.
I can’t see Kamala winning. Americans didn’t vote for a woman against Trump last time let alone a one with Indian heritage. White America will not like it.

They are upset because all of their data and analytics modeling up to now has been focused on Biden. Removing him from the race would obviously put them back to square one.
It’s a bit strange that the main argument against Harris’ chances is that she’s a black woman, yet the fantasy pick seen as a certain winner is … a black woman (Obama). I think Harris could be just right for this situation. She has the air of an incumbent (and can sell the achievements of the current administration way better than Biden). And this election is about turnout. You now have both the anything but Trump motivation and an appeal to female, black and progressive voters. Give her a vanilla male running mate from a swing state like Shapiro or Walz and I think she’s a strong candidate.
Just hammer home abortion, Trump being a felon and stuff like that and I'd be surprised if the Dems don't win.
