In an interview on Thursday with The New York Times, Ms. Pelosi said what was widely reported around the time Mr. Biden dropped out: that she believed it was implicitly understood that his exit would be followed by an internal party competition for a new nominee, instead of an anointment of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The DNC endorsed her, not Biden. And they did it because they had hundred of millions of dollars in donations that only Biden or Kamala could use. And they also did it because they wanted Kamala the whole time and they knew she wouldn't be able to survive a primary. How does anyone square this shit away with the fact that they obviously wanted Biden to tank in a debate before he had a chance to grab the nomination? They wanted Kamala and they wanted to give her as little clock as possible to frick it up. And she still did it. Have fun in California, kam-kam.

You're either r-slurred, or doing a great job sharing low level misinformation

Where did anything I say go against what your saying? Your quote that Biden endorsed her immediately doesn't disprove that DNC had her in mind from the beginning.

Maybe I'm confused by what you're saying. But I'm pretty sure funds cannot be transferred from one candidate to another.

They can depending on circumstances (exactly what money are we talking about) but even that wouldn't be an issue, every last cent could be spent on anti trump shit without filing a single legal document.

See I read this from the FEC and I'm wondering how you came to what you're saying. Maybe there's is a loophole I'm missing.

This isn't even a creative way of doing it, they could use pacs, they could issue refunds with deadlines, foundations, so many things could be done, money is just so much fun

Okay but the new candidate is not allowed to communicate with thie new fund holders in any capacity, am I right? The new candidate's team would have to be completely removed with how the funds are used?

Again, it depends on exactly what money we are talking about. All things considered (including the new rounds of funding a new candidate would warrant) the dem ticket would end up with more money, not less

Actually, I can't even pretend my point isn't flawed. Now that I think about it, I can't say, "the DNC is in control of everything that happens" and then say, "well the money can't be used unless a third-party outside of the candidates control uses it".. I'll give that to you.

They can't give it to another candidate but they could just give it all to the DNC directly. It's a grey area with accusations of such being used as slush funds but still. Worst case they give it to charities of Biden's/Kamala's key issues who could make PACs of their own and spend it there.

There was something close to 300 million that only biden/kamala had access to per DNC rules. No way they can transfer it without having a real primary

Sure, if it's "dnc money" there might be some bumps on the road, but I don't see the dnc witholding money from the party's presidential ticket.

I doubt most of them knew how bad he'd gotten. Anyone at the White House who deals with him on a daily basis would know, but geezers are very good at hiding their health condition. For example, the Shah had cancer for the last 5 years of his reign and nobody knew until the end.
