Not really a huge fan of wheeling out Hillary when a speech by historically unpopular Biden - as sitting president - is already unavoidable. We want to maintain this momentum of Harris being something new and fresh and not associate her with all the establishment democrats everyone hates.
At least Obama is a great speaker, and maybe his speech can lead to more deranged racist statements from Trump to further derail his campaign.
Hillary speaking only helps Republicans.
Giving her the mic is an incredibly stupid move, but her egos too big to ever shut up.
I'll probably just watch Obama's speech on its own.
Voters don't want or care about Hillary and Biden, we need to leave them in the dust to show voters the party is going to follow voter's wishes instead of unpopular party insider's opinions on what's best
Voters rejected Kamala pretty hard in the 2020 primary. I'm pleased with the current momentum and thrilled with her VP pick, but associating Kamala's run with respect for voter's wishes is a bit of a stretch. It was the Democratic establishment that positioned her to be the candidate, not voters.
Everyone who voted for Biden in the 2020 general also voted for Harris. We're sticking with the Biden administration, it's just that Biden is retiring from it.
Everybody who voted for Biden didn't even vote for Biden. The 2020 election wasn't about Biden or Harris, it was about Trump.
I agree about Hillary but disagree about Biden. His reelection campaign was extremely unpopular (and rightly so) because of his obvious decline in health, but I disagree that a Biden speech will be ill-received now that he’s made the historic sacrifice for the good of the country and passed the torch. I think his speech at the DNC will be a very positive moment.
As you imply, you pretty much have to have a Biden moment, so we’ll just see how it goes (and I hope I’m right!)
Agree completely. Just keeps popping up like herpes.
