    They were going to lose if he stayed in.

      No, they weren’t. But anyway, it doesn’t matter at this point. We will never know.

        Who was saying they weren’t?

          The people who mattered. Including the academic who has correctly predicted all presidential elections (except for the Bush/Gore one.)

          But anyway, I really hope that this Harris renewed wave is truly substantial.

            Which is who? The ones who mattered got him to step down.

              I don’t know, man. I just hope this plays out well - it seems to be the case so far. Crossing fingers.

                I’m definitely more hopeful now, especially with the conversations happening, the coverage the Democrats are getting, and the fact that there is energy around the campaign.
