Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.

Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.

Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.

    What happened to all the Democrats saying only Joe could win?

      I don’t think most ever said only Joe could win. I, and others, believed that Joe had the best chance at winning. It’s looking like we were wrong, which I’m happy with. Even if the very recent polling (showing her up 2 points on Trump, compared to Biden), and the large donation day hadn’t happened or Kamala looked worse, I would still be happy Biden dropped out if only because once Nancy and other top democrats started to challenge Biden. its not a good look to have an incumbent being challenged in that way.

        You know, I have to give you credit for admitting you were wrong. That takes courage and self-reflection. If Democrats can continue doing that, then they’ll beat Trump in a landslide.

      Same thing that happened to the tankies’ revolution. It was mostly bluster and bluff.
