Newsmax host Rob Schmidt asked Trump campaign surrogate Kimberly Guilfoyle to speak on behalf of Black women after the network reported that Joe Biden would not seek the Democratic presidential nomination.

(FTA)

Wait? Did I miss something???

Yeah, I thought I must have stumbled across satire. What is going on?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

only thing I can think of... is that they mean... like... back before 2020?

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Maybe. I was too tired to look, but now I have to. I'll edit this post with what I find.

Edit: Seems to just be rumors based on what people 'close to Biden' have said. All it really boils down to is that he is not 100% set on staying in the race anymore. Again, all rumor. I believe more Democrats have stepped up in asking him to leave the race, and it looks like they postponed his nomination until August. I'm fucking exhausted, so sorry if I mixed some shit up.

don't put too much effort into it. It's fucking newsmax. I just assumed they were full of shit.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Oh, cool, thanks!

[-] LimeZest@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 months ago

August was always the planned date of the Democratic convention when a nomination becomes official, it hasn’t been postponed.

Thank you again for the corrections and information. I'm dealing with a really rough family emergency and am running on fumes. I am by no means trying to spread misinformation, just relaying what I found.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
