Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris stopped her fans from getting too wild with their Trump bashing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday.

On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.

“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.”

Everyone wondered what Harris had been doing as VP. It’s this. Preparing to be president.

The debate schedule was the key. One at the beginning and one near the end. If Biden had killed the first debate like he did with Paul Ryan, he’s the guy. If not, Harris is ready and waiting.

I honestly think the race was never as bleak as it seemed. The Dems know what’s at stake and have finally woken up.

I’m never going trust that the dems have a plan.

Yeah Harris may have been waiting for her shot, and she’s getting my vote absolutely, but this wasn’t some dem moonshot to beat Trump. I voted for Biden against Trump. I’d do it again. But there’s many people I would have rather had as our president as a dem voter. I think Kamala will do great, and I’m glad she’s up for the nomination, but this was a moment of a good president realizing he’d do better for America by stepping down, not some ingenious dem plan to keep the White House.

We don’t; we’re just a surprised as you that things are suddenly back on the rails.

They finally seem to not be tap dancing on their own dicks.

Tampon Tim was a good choice. He's already pwned Corporal Couchfucker from the Public Affairs office.

Ok don't believe me just watch.

I honestly think thatbthisbwas the plan all along. Biden pretending to go for round two and then last second dropping out and stepping aside for Harris

Agree. Ultimate 4d chess when Trump had been aiming all his energy at Biden since b4 the corrupt Ukraine call. Switching to Harris 100 days out is genius.
