Then Who?

Vice President Kamala Harris. Only Vice President Harris. She wasn’t ready four years ago. She is now – entirely.

Any Democrat who wants. to give her a food fight for the nomination would be/will be as selfish a fool as Biden had been to this moment.

Every one of the other Democrats being talked about for Pesident this week needs to say no I am not and will not run, I support the vice president – and no one else for president.

To do anything else or less would be as mindlessly selfish as the president was until the moment when the Detroit Free Press reported him down 7 points in Michigan, which could well have been what finally penetrated his wall of denial.

One thing the Democratic Party must do is to make it clear Harris is the candidate and cut the media off from its entirely stupid, empty speculation.

Then, the vice presidency?

The choice here remains Sen. Mark Kelly.

He is from a contested state, Arizona. he is married to and great partner of a victim of gun violence and with her, Gabby Gifford, a stirring voice for gun control.

He is a former military officer, combat pilot and astronaut – in sum a man, a hero if you will who the nation knows. He does not have to be introduced to the country.

We all know Mark Kelly. We like Mark Kelly.

He is a sensible, down the middle liberal and finally, juxtapose him with the the other, the fake – J.D.Vance. One has been in the Senate 18 months, the other for six years and twice elected after distinguished military and NASA service to the United States of America.

This space hopes its Kelly but is certain that whoever it is, VP Harris already knows and made up her mind weeks ago. She needs no one’s advice. It is her first decision as first Democrat and she will make a good one.

The only thing standing in the way of a massive Democratic Party victory is to have a nomination contest.

President Biden endorsed her within an hour of withdrawing.

The entire Democratic Party must and will in the days ahead – then watch the polls take off.
