Nikki Haley announces

[Renauda]

Her campaign turned out to be a forlorn hope after all. Sad.

[Mik]

Never say die. I would not be at all surprised with an independent run.

[Mik]

More like ecstatic.

Although I agree with you in theory, I fear that she would draw enough of the Republican electorate away to guarantee a win for Biden.

Biden is going to win unless he dies. When he wins, it essentially guarantees a GOP win in 2028 against Kamala. So there is hope in the future...

I still think @LuFins-Dad right when he predicted a while ago that once President Biden has enough delegates, there will be a way to announce he is dropping out (medical reason or something like that). Since he will have secured the nomination, he will be able to appoint someone to take his place, and I don't think it will be VP Harris.

Yeah, the guy is going downhill. If the trend continues we'll see an even slower Biden in the summer.

The decline over four years is amazing. I wonder how much we’ll see in there next months.

I think unfortunately it's been accelerating recently. I watched a clip of the 2023 SOTU because of LuFin's thread. He didn't look great - but he didn't look as slow as has recently.
