Short Take Politics
Quoting the Declaration
Heather Cox Richardson this morning quotes the Declaration this morning. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” That used to make sense but the Supreme Court overturned it. The President is now above the law. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/july-3-2024-aea
Who could replace Biden?
The current name being floated is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Vice President Kamala Harris, perhaps the most qualified and accomplished veep in the last 50 years, does not appear to be receiving serious consideration. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-replacement-gov-whitmer-denies-draft-gretch-campaign-her-star-rising
Wrestling with reality
Vice President Harris, a trailblazer as a prosecutor and senator, is somehow cast by the corporate media as weak and indecisive. That image is an impediment to her stepping in as candidate to replace President Biden. https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-told-ally-weighing-whether-151745457.html
