There are forty five days until the Democratic National Convention convenes in Chicago. It is July fifth, twenty twenty four. This is the warning. During the next couple of days, the full impact of the catastrophic debate will be known. The full extent of the polling debacle will be fully felt. The impact so far as it is known as catastrophic. New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Minnesota, all states that were safely in the Biden column are now in play.
New Hampshire was a state that Joe Biden won by ten points. He is now losing to Donald Trump by two. The president is in a great deal of trouble and during the next few days it is highly likely that he will withdraw from the race, and when he does so, the Democratic Convention will open up. Who are the people that could be part of a national ticket that could
beat Donald Trump. The person that is the best known is the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, but after her there are a number of other well known and lesser known candidates. There is, of course, California Governor Gavin Newsom. Nate Silver points out though, that if Gavin Newsom is the nominee. There will be a four month debate about San Francisco, and it's not a winning proposition for the Democrats. There is Wes Moore, the young Maryland governor, combat veteran
eighty second Airborne. Wes Moore is a superstar, a rising talent in the Democratic Party. There's Kentucky Governor Andy Burshier. This is a Republican state. He's a very popular Democratic governor. There's the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer Big Gretch. Their senator Cory Booker. There's Governor JB. Pritzker of Illinois. There's Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, their secretary and former governor
Jinny Romando. There are a great many Democrats who could serve at the top of the ticket or in the vice presidential slot. The only thing that matters is winning. Let's take a look at some of them. Let's see how they answer questions. What do they look like giving a speech? Can they light up a room like Barack Obama did? Can they take the fight to Donald Trump? Can they prosecute him minute by minute, hour by hour,
day by day. For the balance of the campaign. One thing is for certain the position the President Biden now finds himself in is not one that he can recover from. What is the moment that he will pass Donald Trump? How will he make up six points with a great convention speech the September One out of three Democrats wants him replaced. Seventy two percent of the country believes he
is mentally incompetent. So the Democratic Party now must pay the price for its gaslighting, its denialism, and its delusion. And the good news is is that out of these candidates is a winning ticket. There are some great Democratic candidates in this mix, the type of Democratic candidates that bring with them a Democratic House and a Democratic US Senate and completely change the entire dynamic of the election, that instill it with energy, that bring young people back
into politics. The delusion is at a tent. The President is a fine man who has served well, but his time it's up and he must step aside because if he does not, then his only legacy will be a supreme selfishness that elected Donald Trump. So whether it's Vice President, Harris, governor Moore, Governor, Pursher, Governor, k Newsome, Secretary Romando, governor, Shapiro,
governor Pritzker, Governor Murphy. The Democratic Party has plenty of candidates that can beat Donald Trump, and it's time to stop the gas lighting about the fact that the only one who definitely can't is the only one who can. It's always been absurd and now it's just pathetic and reckless, and yes it is a corrupt act. There's nothing more important than the country. Country first, Country above the Democratic Party, country above Trump, country above Biden. We must think about
the country and it must have an able president. What is the proposition that President Biden can serve at age eighty five? If this is his condition at eighty one eighty two, the cinisen from the media, cynicism of Democrats and allowing this forest to go forward has all been unspooled. And let me ask a question, who is it that cynicism helps. It helps the king of the cynics, it helps Trump, It helps Maga. Where there is distrust, Maga flourishes.
But now all the light has shined in, and now we know President is not up for this fight, but these folks are, and they're all about to get a lot more famous in the next few weeks. Forty five days to go until the most exciting political convention of our lifetimes, Democratic Convention in Chicago. This is an election that cannot be lost to MAGA and Donald Trump. And because this debate took place early enough, it will not
be lost. It will be saved, and it will be saved by a mix of these people, the future of the Democratic Party. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite you to join. Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. Welcome to the community.
