| "given the stakes for this election for democracy, we are going to disregard the primary elections and pick someone else." --the DNC seemingly without irony |

Yeah, not a good look. Any other dirt on him? |

Given the candidate's incapacity, we're going to pick someone else. The RNC should have done the same, given the candidate's disqualification. But they're too chicken. Or too dumb. But I think it's chicken. |

He went to rehab for alcohol abuse after this scandal while he was still the Mayor of SF. I think he’s been clean cut since that incident. |

Has the mayor's new girlfriend, who is only 20, been drinking? By Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross Oct 15, 2006 San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's new squeeze, Brittanie Mountz, just turned 20 last month -- and that raises a couple of questions about the couple's nights on the town. The biggest question is whether Mountz has been drinking, and it's been swirling since the pair made their first public appearance and walked down the red carpet together at the San Francisco Symphony in September. At the time, Mountz had a MySpace page that said she was 19. It now says she's 26. But according to the Sonoma County registrar of voters, the Rohnert Park resident turned 20 on Sept. 17 -- three weeks and two days before Newsom turned 39. A model by day, by night the Sonoma State alum works as a hostess at San Francisco's trendy Aqua restaurant, where she and the mayor met. Photos of Mountz holding a wine glass during the opening of the new Westfield San Francisco Shopping Center, where Newsom also made an appearance, raised some eyebrows. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Has-the-mayor-s-new-girlfriend-who-is-only-20-2468236.php |

💯 agree. But, despite all of that, he is 81 and it’s time to step aside! Good lord. He should have done it earlier in the primary, and by not doing so, he caused this impossible situation. |

David Letterman will headline Biden fundraiser with Hawaii governor on July 29
HONOLULU (AP) — David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race. The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July. https://apnews.com/article/biden-fundraiser-2024-election-2400c00956ac9dacb368b113b3ec8b71 |

DP. That's juicy. And democrats would care more about that stuff than Republicans. The polling doesn't matter when stuff like this hasn’t been reported widely yet. |

Yes, ultimately it's Joe's ego that lead him to try for 2 terms. If he had committed to 1 term that was implied when he was the stability vote, there could have been a robust primary process. Not evident in the DC echo chamber, but I think people underestimate the emotional wounds of covid on huge portions of the country though, and Democrats are suffering from covid policies that were (and more so in hindsight) intensely unpopular: vaccine mandates and school closures. |

+1 with slick hair to match. I'd much rather have Kamala. |
