Democratic strategists and organizers are hoping that if 2024 presidential nominee Kamala Harris performs well in the November election, there will be a down-ballot effect in gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and U.S. House races. Democrats have a small majority in the Senate, while Republicans have a sing...

    The article is about the change from Biden to Kamala is showing signs it will boost the House…

    It’s literally the first line in the article…

    Did you just read the headline and comments? That might be why you’re confused

      I get what he’s saying. You’re here grinding your anti-Biden ax, long after Biden’s no longer on the ballot. You might have had a valid question about why everyone was so hesitant to change horses mid-race. Jesus answered that question. We took a risk that could have resulted in a much worse outcome because frequently in history, it has. And Harris was an uninspired candidate in 2020, which many of us worried she’d be in 2024. That should be good enough to end this conversation…maybe with a ‘Gee, I’m glad Harris upped her game between 2020 and now because we needed what we got this last month,’ if you ABSOLUTELY have to.

      But you’re harping on Biden in an article about the House of Representatives. You’re getting heavily downvoted and questioned about your motive. Maybe read the room? Biden is yesterday’s news. The only reason we think you’re harping on him is to try to depress Democratic turnout and we’re telling you to knock it the fuck off.

        Mate…

        Read the first sentence of the article…

        Democratic strategists and organizers are hoping that if 2024 presidential nominee Kamala Harris performs well in the November election, there will be a down-ballot effect in gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and U.S. House races.

        But the whole article is literally about how switching from Biden is showing signs of helping the House, it’s what the article is literally about…

        How is commenting on the subject of the article not relevant to the article?

          First, I’m not your mate so knock that shit off.

          Second, the article is about the House, not about Biden. I don’t fucking care what the first sentence says because the article is no more about the first fucking sentence than it is about the headlines or comments. Again. We’re seeing your concerns and telling you to fuck off with that bullshit.

            Well, you definitely didn’t read any of that, because the whole article is quotes of people saying Biden stepping aside is helping down ballot races…

            Like this:

            Outgoing Rep. Ann Kuster (D-NH) also believes that having Harris as the presidential nominee instead of Biden improves’ Democrats’ chances of flipping the House.

            Kuster told The Hill, “The path we were on was unsustainable. To be earnest, I thought we were going to lose 20-plus seats. And lose the Senate, and lose the White House.”

            Or this:

            In an article Tuesday, The Hill’s Mike Lillis reports that Democrats are "increasingly bullish about their chances of flipping the House now that Harris, and not President Joe Biden, will sit at the top of the ticket.

            Seriously, it’s the entire article mate.

      I understand the content of the article, I just didn’t understand the necessity of your comment in relation to it. There isn’t a way we can quash this easily, let’s just move on.
