Nearly all of Virginia’s 119 delegates to next month’s Democratic National Convention have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the party’s presidential ticket in November, after President Joe Biden abandoned his reelection bid.
Harris was already well on her way to locking down the nomination, but the Monday night vote added Virginia’s delegates to her growing tally of supporters.
“Our delegation knows that Vice President Harris is the right choice and leader not only to unify our party, but our country,” Democratic Party of Virginia Chairwoman Susan Swecker said in a news release Tuesday morning. “The Virginia Democratic delegation is thrilled to cast our votes for her historic nomination and support an incredible former senator and prosecutor in defeating convict Donald Trump this November.”
Democratic leaders in Virginia circulated an online form seeking pledges of support for Harris, but the party has not yet held a formal vote nominating Harris. The Democratic convention will be held in Chicago from Aug. 19 to Aug. 22.
Biden stepping aside freed Virginia’s delegates to support a new candidate for president, but no serious contenders have emerged to challenge Harris.

Let’s see the tape Johnny. Sat, I’m staying in the race, I am the only one that can beat Trump and protect democracy. DEMs worried about mega-donors. Sun, Biden, I’m dropping out of the race but I endorse Harris. Mon, Harris gets $100M in funding and starts winning delegates. Tue, who is Chuckie and Nancy going to select as her running mate?
Yeah, the DEMs are protecting democracy. This has got to be the biggest political farce I have ever witnessed!
Sounds like Trump got rope-a-doped and spent all of his time and money ATTACKING rather than coming up with solid plans.
Democrats didn't vote for her in the primary because that was fixed. This selection was fixed. It's clear no one has a say except the big money donors. Whoever dems put up for the election it doesnt matter because the big money socialists who have ruined this country under Biden's horrible tenure will continue to do so. Look at what has happened under Biden. Inflation, unaffordable food and housing for millions, wars we didn't have before, wide open borders affecting mostly blacks, schools that continue to decline and high crime especially in cities (again mostly affecting minorities). Don't vote for the same failed policies.
I read on Axios, apparently a reputable lib publication so the ghosts of John dutko should believe it. They were saying VA is a big reason Brandon finally quit. Polls were looking so bad in educated patriots utopia that joe had no choice. The Patriot, He was so confident weeks ago about VA
I love it when Republicans come out on the record and say that they will only accept the results of the election if they win.
A heads I win, tails you lose scenario.
And then the Heritage Foundation says that “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be".
Yeah, love the rhetoric.

We are just so far apart, and it makes us even more vulnerable to all the things we're afraid of. I worry that the problem is bigger and more non/bipartisan than even the perceptions that tear us apart now, and then we're in trouble either way. I really do wish the mainstream culture did things like practically work on things like communication and trust. It's only going to be more necessary in the robot age. Communication, especially on any charged subject, is an acquired skill, and we treat it like it's not. Chair Jefferson is right to have addressed that directly.
Democrats are the real fascists and threat to democracy. How's it feel to know primaries don't matter? Re Why vote for Trump- Pro America, Pro Freedom. But you fascists don't appreciate freedom. Go back to consulting chatGPT in your parents basement.
Primaries don't matter...
That's rich. Just like how Trump never showed up for any of the Republican debates because he was the presumptive nominee?
Did you hear about how he wants to ban condoms? You are all a buncha wackadoos.
Another statement by you that everyone knows is false. And what are you worried about, boy? You’ll never need a condom, the only action you’ll ever get is with your real doll.

Eliminate men’s preventive services from the women’s preventive
services mandate. In December 2021, HRSA updated its women’s
preventive services guidelines to include male condoms after claiming for
years that it had no authority to do so because Congress explicitly limited
the mandate to “women’s” preventive care and screenings. HRSA should not
incorporate exclusively male contraceptive methods into guidelines that
specify they encompass only women’s services.
You want to be Iran so much.
Mike your constant use of whataboutism is getting tired, can't you do better?
I'm sorry. I guess you are just fine with this.
It's not whataboutism if Project 2025 is your platform. If your VP pick fully embraces it, not whataboutism. If you endorsed it at a convention (well- documented) and your party also follows lock-step... not whataboutism.
Dutko 2.0, defend your position. Why should the average American NOT care about the plans that are currently being implemented?
Obsessed with Project 2025, alone, Mike Paulson is. Seriously considered by anyone, the Heritage Foundation’s product is not.
Here is the Democrat election scam broken down:
They create the illusion of support for a candidate by pumping them up
in the media apparatus that they fully control.
They use billionaires to launder money to the candidate through straw
donors on ActBlue. $3,300 max per person? No problem! Just funnel a
billionaire's $$ through hundreds of thousands of names. Wow look how
"popular" they are!
Polling companies work for them so that's no issue either. Just show the
"transformational" candidate with strong numbers based on imaginary
data. Now the public believes they "have a chance".
Then they register 8+ million illegals to vote. They don't need them to
actually cast a ballot and risk getting caught. They just need that name
on the voter roll so they can pump out a fake ballot and throw it in a
dropbox undetected in a few key swing states.
The Deep State FBI and DOJ won't even open an investigation so no
issue there, and if any judges start getting a little too close to allowing an
actual trial showing evidence, that judge gets a very threatening phone
call. Then boom, every single case is dismissed on standing - what great
luck for them!
Then when they steal it, they ban anyone on social media calling out
their scam, put up barbed wire around the Capitol, use thousands of
troops to keep the public away, and start new wars across the globe for
years on end.
We no longer live in a free country.
We live under a communist regime masquerading as a Constitutional
Republic.
Trump is their greatest threat and they just tried to put a bullet in his
head.
There are technically five counties in the world currently under a "Communist" regime, and the U.S. isn't one of them. Three of the five function as normal, (China, Laos, Vietnam) while the other two (North Korea, Cuba) are totalitarian in nature.
So no, no "communist" regime here.
I absolutely love the fanfiction.
Tell us: Why should we vote for Trump?
What does he bring to the table? Name some positives that he has campaigned on.
Because all of his rhetoric has been about assigning monikers against his opponents and promoting xenophobia.
Well, Americans just witnessed a Presidential Coup by the Democrat Party.
We know see who the REAL threat to democracy is.
There is a man crying somewhere with a warehouse full of "Let's Go Brandon" merch that will go to waste...
Perhaps here, but not in third-world countries, sadly.
We’re almost there, Dumpy, dems keep running the show much longer and we’ll achieve that third-world county designation. Been to Minneapolis (Little Somalia) recently? They’re ahead of the game.
@ Bubble
We deserve better, more qualified candidates from both parties. Republicans literally "sold themselves" out to Trump. On the other side, people like Gabbard and RFK Jr. being shoed away by the establishment. Kamala isn' the best choice, but she was the "runner-up" for the donor class. She'll have some cringe moments throughout her campaign, and ultimately will come up short where it matters most.
@Master of the Margin.
Funny how the best counties in America are all blue.
Just glad you no longer live in NoVA.
“All” EP? Well, according to AI, which your alter ego (Master of the Cloud) so loves, Collin County, TX (GOP); Hamilton County, IN (GOP) are some of the best counties to raise a family. Carver County, MN is top of the list of 25 Best Counties in the U.S. to Live in Based on Education, Poverty, and Life Expectancy.
We can always count on you to spew BS. You sway…. wait for it………nobody.
