This just in from Scott Dworkin!

“Democratic State Party Chairs in AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA and WI reaffirmed their full support for Biden in a joint letter released today: "As we enter the final 100-day stretch, President Biden has proven he can beat Donald Trump if we all do the work.”

“We understand the anxiety. But the best antidote to political anxiety is taking action,” the letter reads.

“When we all lend our voices to contrasting the Democratic vision—from Biden-Harris straight down the ticket—with the MAGA nightmare, we win.”

The letter is signed by Democratic Party chairs Ben Wikler of Wisconsin, Lavora Barnes of Michigan, Sharif Street of Pennsylvania, Anderson Clayton of North Carolina, Nikema Williams of Georgia, Yolanda Bejarano of Arizona and Daniele Monroe-Moreno of Nevada.

“We know tough races…We’ve all experienced the 'poll-er coaster,' the ups and downs, the moments that supposedly change everything only to be superseded by another moment that changes everything a month later.”

Let’s be sure to spread this far and wide today, to make things clear that President Biden is staying in the race. And that the party leaders are behind him.”

Full letter at the bottom of link.

I read all of this after learning that President Biden has now retracted his candidacy. At this point, there hundreds of hundreds of thousands of disappointed voter. One thing that Scott Dworkin wrote particularly caught my attention: "But the best antidote to political anxiety is taking action".

Every one of us must continue working as hard as we have been on behalf of Joe Biden, to get whoever the Democratic candidate on the ballot may be. Joe has nominated Kamala Harris for the presidency. I believe she would/will be an excellent president.

I'm as concerned as many may be about American misogyny and racism, even on the "left", but it's essential to get through to every voter the ramifications if they don't all vote Blue, Trump is elected and Project 2025 is implemented.

I will continue posting links about Project 2025 on my FB page, just did this one: https://people.com/what-is-project-2025-inside-far-right-plan-trump-presidency-8622964

I will also continue to write Letters to Voters using lists for registered voters under the age of 35. Votefwd.org Others are writing massive amounts of postcards to voters. These are among the easiest ways, for some of us, to GOTV.

Thanks Judith. Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky is mentioned as a possible VP candidate, and that sounds like a dynamite ticket to me.

If not VP Harris, and I understand the difficulties inherent in her candidacy, I also think Josh Shapiro (PA) is a good alternative.

Gov. Shapiro is my governor. He'd be a great president/veep candidate. As much as I'd miss him as governor, I'd be happy to see him serve on the national level.

Alas, Biden has caved.

I bet there's bottles of champaign popping at the Bulwark offices too.

Fuck them sideways.

I hope that Obergefell is reversed and Sarah and Tim are shocked to find that they are no longer married.

Sorry, I am just fucking pissed at those gloating fuckers

I’ve been hearing it from people here for about 10 days that they weren’t going to vote for president but would still be voting down ballot since our senator is also on the ballot this year.

Agreed. Reminds me of when Biden was pushed aside in 2016 and Hillary was the nominee. How did that work out.
