If there were a contested convention, the Dems would not be unified during that period and of course that would be covered by the media as a time of disunity. But would Whitmer-Booker be polling ahead of Trump by Sept 10? I think that's the real question. I don't know the answer to it.

I don't know, but Whitmer/Booker, or any ticket without Harris at the top, would have less money and organization. Under FEC regulations, only Harris could inherit the Biden-Harris campaign donations. The VP people voted for has inherent legitimacy as a replacement that no alternate can match.

I have written extensively about the shortcomings of American political journalism. But I don't view the last week as a huge media failure. Two very important questions are being discussed: 1. Is the president up to four more years on the job? 2. Can he be an effective candidate?
