    She has a really checkered record wrt trans stuff altogether. I’m concerned.

    She’s better than Trump but a significant step down from Biden in terms of most of the things I care about which makes her a concerning pick, combined with the fact that she performs worse in polling (if that was the main concern). I hope I’m wrong but I’m concerned that this basically sealed the Dems’ loss.

      Here is the internal polling that was released, this was before Biden resigned

      Through 7/21, Biden trailed Trump 46-44 nationally; Harris was ahead 48-46. Trump is stuck at a ceiling of 46. Harris gains from 3rd party/undecided voters.

      • Young voters (18-34) go from Biden 44-36 (+8) to Harris 57-37 (+20)
      • Independents go from Trump 48-32 (+16) to Trump 49-41 (+8)
      • Harris picks up 7pp among Black voters and 8pp among Hispanic voters, almost all from 3rd party/undecideds
