    Come on you can’t be this naive. Biden stepped down because dems made him, despite what you wrote,

    What does it mean to not allow Harris to differentiate from his campaign? Or what? Harris made the choice to not differentiate from the Biden campaign. She’s an adult and an unpopular candidate who should own her mistakes.

      If she wanted the candidacy, she had to stick with Biden. Read the article.

        No, she didn’t have to stick with Biden. She chose to. Again, what would have happened had she taken her distances from Biden after having secured the nomination?

          Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money, she towed the line or lost that with no time to build her own support.

          Remember: 30 days to the convention. 108 days to the election. Piss off Biden, lose all his people and all his money. Good luck with the election!

              Which doesn’t help when the staff and money gets pulled. I swear, it’s like you do not have the first idea how politics works.

              Biden was President, you go with what he says or you get cut loose with no time to rebuild on your own.

                After dropping from the race Biden no longer had control over the campaign funds.

                Besides, even if we were to imagine that Biden could still hypothetically somehow take away the campaign funds, Harris still chose to play ball.
