Many of us did watch the debate, we are watching a reworked history in action.

I think therefore I am. René Decarte

[@ianleslie6971]

Well she's an American something. Certainly a great progressive spokesperson. I remember her impassioned plea not to have Biden step down after the first debate 👌🧐😎

[@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively]

Biden always intended KAMALA to run I believe. Bless them both. 💙

[@KathrynTanner-t8f]

Maybe. The timing does seem ideal. I suspect we won't know until Biden is retired and writes his book. Maybe he'll reveal what he was thinking.
