Biden Is Out But Inoculates Harris.

It's a sad day. Biden bowed to the inevitable and inoculated Harris from a serious challenge for the nomination in Chicago. Most Democrats will be glad that this fight is finally over. Most won't want to make further destructive interparty waves.

So, Biden has dictated the terms and almost all Democrats will rapidly fall in line behind Harris. The fun part will be watching to see who Kamala chooses as her running mate. I expect a surprise and innovative pick. Not necessarily the usual gubernatorial suspects who are assumed to be natural choices. Harris' pick will reflect her view of the world and how she wants to move forward as the likely nominee.

We're competitive now. Finally. Hope we can make the very most of it.
