In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.
Dems changed to Harris before actually nominating Biden.
Trump is already nominated. Changing at this point would be a much bigger problem for either side.
Even if they somehow did who would take his place? Vance has been very unpopular so far, and they’ve already had a full primary this cycle; we already know they don’t have anyone better than Trump.
Also it would make them hypocrites, not that they care.
A nomination does not mean that the republican party needs to back Trump. They could have simply chose someone else or even remove him from their ticket. It’s all in their control.
A primary is merely to check and see which way the political wind is blowing before the election. And nominations are not written in stone.
Show me the election where Harris was at the top of the ballot.
Sooooo… what’s your point?
Trump’s free to drop out and let Vance run for Prez
Almost a fair point; dems may not have rallied around Harris under other circumstances. But she’s only formally run one other time and that was four years ago and against a former VP (Biden). Not quite the same situation today.
Also the line you quoted doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the point you’re trying to make.
