Who and how do they decide who runs? Doesn't it have to be Harris? It doesn't HAVE to be, but it gets a bit complicated and awkward if it isn't.

The onchain/blockchain betting markets will be the first to know. This one is pretty darn good. polymarket.com/PolyMarket is owned by Peter Thiel and run by Nate Silver after Thiel funded millions into PAC's. No thanks. They don't know anything more than the betting markets or the prognosticators, especially at this point. It's all mindless speculation. Biden went from -185 to +900 in hours the other day on multiple offshore books, then swung all the way back down to +250. We'll know when we know. I guess you can say betting is mindless, but 1.3 million dollars bet on a 99% sure thing that Biden would drop out today prior to today. Mindless or not that's a darn good bet.

The deadline to change the candidate has passed in Nevada and Wisconsin. It is illegal to change the candidate after the primary and before the convention just because that candidate might lose in the general election. This is a coup.

On no planet was it ever 99% implied probability. Just like Trump never got north of -210 to this point.

It was not a surprise. The onchain/blockchain betting markets has been predicting a Biden surrender What Biden should do now is resign and make her president...that would absolutely blow minds..... Maybe the only thing I've ever agreed with you on politically.

The "July Surprise"...great timing because it takes the focus off of Trump and puts it on the Dems...Harris/?...or it's going to be a $#!t show.... Can both be true?

This is what happens when you can't see the see the forest for the trees. It is similar to a sports book site. Who cares who owns it.

Hillary just endorsed Kamala. She's not running. I voted in the poll Kamala, and I'm sticking to that.

And no, I've paid attention the last month more than I would like to. Narratives shape events, it's that simple. From a mathematical standpoint, the probability was never 99%. High? Sure. But not that.

It will be Kamala. Biden's delegates will vote for her, giving her the nomination. Unless several high profile Democrats come out and endorse another candidate. Which I don't see happening with Biden and Clinton behind her.

Which I don't see happening with Biden and Clinton behind her. It would be pretty awkward if they didn't choose Harris, for a variety of reasons.

Logical and only practical choice. Curious to see who joins the ticket. Rumblings around a few candidates.

Still blows my mind a bit that the Republicans haven't nominated someone not named Trump since 2012.
