Democratic internal conflicts: Democratic fears of a Trump electoral landslide led to a contentious poll and internal conflicts over potential nominees, including Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton
The Michigan poll indicating a seven-point lead for President Trump was a turning point for Democrats, who were afraid of a potential electoral landslide and the loss of key seats in the Senate and House. This poll, which was tactically scheduled before the debate, was described as an "arrow in the chest" for the Democrats. Additionally, there are reports of internal conflict within the party regarding the potential nomination of Kamala Harris, with her team threatening to label those who oppose her as racists. Hillary Clinton is also reportedly interested in the nomination, but would need to secure the support of Harris and the Biden delegates.
Democratic Party's nomination dilemma: The Democratic Party faces a dilemma over who to nominate for president in 2024, with potential contenders including Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Josh Shapiro, and Mark Kelly. A DEI controversy may arise if a non-black female is chosen, and transparency regarding Hunter Biden is a concern.
The ongoing speculation surrounding the Democratic Party's nomination and potential running mates revolves around the current situation with Vice President Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Biden has enough delegates to secure the nomination, but he doesn't want it, and his delegates remain loyal to the Biden-Harris ticket. There's a possibility of an all-female ticket with Hillary Clinton as the running mate. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly are also strong contenders due to their popularity and the importance of their respective states. A DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) war may ensue if a non-black female is chosen as the nominee, as Biden previously promised to select a black female based on DEI criteria. Additionally, there are ongoing calls for transparency regarding potential deals for Hunter Biden. Overall, the Democratic Party faces a significant decision with potential implications for party unity and the political landscape.
Secret Service changes, Democratic candidates: The disbanding of the Candidates Nominee Operation Section and departures of some Democratic candidates have created challenges for the Secret Service, raising questions about the security situation for potential nominees and the potential complications if an unfit candidate becomes president
There have been significant changes within the Secret Service regarding the protection of potential Democratic presidential candidates, following reports of the disbanding of the Candidate Nominee Operation Section (Cenas) and the departure of some candidates from the race. This has raised questions about the security situation, especially in light of the ongoing speculation about Joe Biden's qualifications to serve as a presidential candidate. Some believe that if Biden is unfit to run, his continued presidency is problematic. The situation is expected to create challenges for the Secret Service, as they scramble to reassign agents and adapt to the evolving political landscape.
Harris's presidency: Some argue that Harris might benefit from becoming president sooner due to perceived incompetence, while others worry about her readiness and Biden's cognitive abilities, potentially leading to a backlash against Democrats and benefiting Trump
The speaker argues that it might be beneficial for Kamala Harris to become the president sooner rather than later due to her perceived incompetence.

The speaker believes that Harris's incompetence would become apparent once she takes office, potentially leading to a backlash against her and benefiting Donald Trump in the upcoming election. The speaker also suggests that Biden's cognitive abilities raise national security concerns and that he should resign as soon as possible. The speaker predicts that the Democratic nomination process will result in a clear front-runner by early August.
