By a virtual roll-call vote of the delegates who will show up in Chicago on August 19, Vice President Kamala Harris has passed the threshold she needs to stop being called the "presumptive" Democratic nominee. Obviously, more than a torch has been passed. (We love this image.)
This is thrilling and fun, even though at the same time we're still feeling sad for Joe Biden. But after an interval of paw-wringing, we know he did the right thing. And Dark Brandon unleashed — he's out of you-know-whats to give — is a glorious thing.
Biden has been in his element, teasing the press at Joint Base Andrews about last night's celebrated release of American prisoners from Russia ("You're stuck with me as President for a while, kid") as well as outside the White House, when he was asked what else he can do to get another prisoner released ("You want me to tell you ahead of time so he doesn't get out?"). Spicy!
Perhaps this weekend the world will learn Harris's choice for her Vice Presidential running mate. We have no advice for her, since she has a terrific field of candidates to choose from and she knows what she's doing. But we hope that the man she picks (and it will be a man) will be as good a partner to her as Joe Biden was to President Barack Obama for eight years. That is a non-negotiable job requirement, and it will take a special person to fill it. After all, Joe Biden's special. We cats PURR.
