That’s not what I meant
It’s usually announced in a press conference or in person.
Not via a letter posted to Twitter.
I don't think they can run anyone but Kamala now without severe backlash. And I don't think any hot ticket names willing be willing to put their political futures at risk with 3.5 months till election. But they could decide to really go rogue with Kennedy. I don't think Trump is gonna pull any of these former Biden voters over. But I do honestly think Kennedy is gonna pull over 15% of the vote now, if he isn't the D nominee.

"He will go down with a legacy unlike many people as one of the finest and surely a patriot, an American," Manchin said of Biden during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." "And so with that, I come with a heavy heart to think the time has come for him to pass the torch to a new generation."
* later that day *
Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) is considering re-registering as a Democrat and entering the 2024 presidential race, Axios has learned.

Biden's at home presumably with covid.
The convention is this week. Better to get the story out and ahead now.
Dems need to get huge youth turnout again. So posting it on social media first was by design for it to go viral faster and to reach that audience in mass.
Oh come on - you actually believe he has Covid?
Yeah. It's too close to the election and there isn't anyone other than maybe Gavin Newsom with a national profile, who could come in this late in the game and make an impact.
Harris is also incumbent just like Biden, so it's a safer play. I don't think RFK will still as many votes from Harris as he would have Biden.

Pardon the snickering at this - but like it was gonna go viral if it was on tv or on Twitter.
Everyone’s gonna know. The speed doesn’t exactly matter here.
With stuff this big- presidents usually address the nation live or as a statement at least

I think people absolutely think rfk is a better candidate than Harris and will absolutely push the button for him over her
Biden has a convention speech to give. More eyes on that this week in primitive.
Sundays and Fridats are slow news days. Get it out the way. This is how politics has always worked.
I think the assumption is that Harris is far more liberal than Biden. And I don't many of the moderate Dems will get behind her. So I think they vote for Kennedy.
The worst thing for the Dems would be to have a mostly split vote at the convention.
people are really overestimating how much people would vote for RFK if it means Donald goes back to office.
Again the anti-Trump vote is just as prevalent and in play here as it was four years ago.
No it isn't - After 4 years of the Biden disaster and the failed assassination attempt that sentiment is much lower. Plus its a sentiment wideliy concentrated in the more radical leftsists as opposed ot the moderates who are open to new mindsets.
He did fine in that respect the last time Joe wasn’t in office, so maybe?
