A whole lot changed since my last defense of President Biden. Last week he decided to step down from his re-election attempt and put all his support behind his VP, Kamala Harris.
Democrats came together behind Kamala Harris in enthusiastic numbers I haven’t seen in a long, long time. Within two days, she had enough delegation support to win the Democratic primary. I suspect by the time the convention rolls around, she’ll have everyone’s support.
I am sad that President Biden had to end his campaign, but ultimately, he sacrificed his ambitions for the country, and he did the right thing: he gave us a candidate we can ALL embrace.
And I want to go down on record as saying I want to be adopted by the Harris/Emhoff family.

@bosslady Exactly. I never imagined anything but the usual chaos if he stepped aside. I couldn't be more surprised, and I couldn't be happier to be wrong. I voted for Warren in the 2020 primaries, but Harris was my second choice.
It really ended up being the best of all worlds. I feel very positive about this election.
@bosslady It feels good to have shaken that cloud of impending doom! The fight isn't over, but hope levels are way up.
