Monday After Biden Quits Campaigning

 Indiana politicos, delegates react to the Biden withdrawal, and are for Harris. Of course, the Republicans grumble.

Eugene Robinson wrote Biden did his part. Now here’s the next step. for The Washington Post.

Not incidentally, Harris is by far the most qualified Democrat to serve as president. The vice presidency is often compared to the federal witness protection program, in that it requires self-effacement and blending into the scenery. But she has spent the past 3½ years soaking up a first-class education in foreign policy and sharpening her command of domestic issues.

“Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump,” Biden said in announcing his withdrawal and endorsement of Harris. “Let’s do this.” That should be the spirit that animates Democrats between now and November. Fourteen million voters chose Biden as their presidential nominee, but in voting for the Biden-Harris ticket, they were choosing Harris, too.

Some news for Indianapolis, Marion County becomes majority non-white. This would be a shocker for our forefathers who wanted a whites-only Indiana,

Marion County, Indiana’s most populous county, became majority non-white between 2020 and 2023, according to recently released U.S. Census Bureau data.

The consolidated city-county recorded a net loss of about 8,000 residents over that period.

It gained about 7,000 Black, 5,000 Hispanic and 3,900 Asian residents but lost nearly 200 Native Americans.

I got off early, had an inadvertent nap, cleaned the kitchen, had a late lunch, and I am waiting for the beans to cook. I can do nothing more with the living room.

Still stuck on John Ford:
