It was a sad day for Delaware as its beloved hometown hero was forced to the sidelines. Aubrey Plaza was spotted on crutches at the WNBA All-Star game, where she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee playing knockout.
In general, Democrats reacted to Joe Biden’s decision to end his re-election campaign with relief, and most quickly line up behind VP Kamala Harris. Some, however, were more distressed. Chris Coons actually teared up on camera, which prompted the right-wing propaganda media to crow about a “liberal meltdown” rather than the actual response.
Republicans, who relished the chance to run against someone even older and more feeble than their guy, reacted as you’d expect, threatening lawsuits to force Biden to stay on the ticket and shifting effortlessly from slagging Biden to slagging Harris. In fairness, talking shit is the only thing they’re actually any good at.
One big benefit of Biden’s move: Because it’s unprecedented, pundits have to admit they don’t know what happens next. They do, however, get to speculate on who she’ll choose as vice president. One report says Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear are already being vetted for the post.
The floor’s yours.
