Joe Biden is being encouraged to replace Kamala Harris with a blast from the past to aid his floundering chances at re-election.
Biden, who has struggled in the polls nationally and in key swing states, has left Democrats wondering if major change is needed to beat Donald Trump
Questions and doubts exist over the health and ability to perform the job of Biden, at 81
Harris - the first female and first black vice president in American history - has also struggled, with poll numbers saying a majority of Americans don't think she would be a good president.
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker wrote Tuesday that Democrats should look to their recent past for a new VP.
In her piece, she wondered why no one has floated Hillary Clinton as a potential running mate.
Clinton, of course, served as First Lady, Secretary of State and a United States Senator before losing to Donald Trump in 2016.
Parker argues that Harris lacks 'competency' which deters voters who see Biden's 'steady decline over the years' and that Clinton could provide reassurance, despite being 76 years old herself.
'If Biden needs to step down, even those who didn't vote for Clinton would have confidence in her ability to keep the country on track,'
She also believes that Clinton's 2016 loss - which she's spent the last eight years playing the blame game over - still rankles her and leaves her with unfinished business.
'At 76, she might want no part of it, but it's hard to retire when you feel your job isn't done,' she wrote, citing Clinton endorsing a candidate in a New York Congressional district to unseat 'Squad' member Jamaal Bowman.
Parker, a Pulitzer Prize winner, called it 'impossible to ignore' Biden's ''stumbles, his search for words, his occasional blank stare.'

Someone at The Conservative Treehouse(THT) said Hillary physically transformed herself in anticipation of VP->President.
Democrat George Washington Plunkitt of Tammany Hall said he saw opportunities for “honest graft” and took them.
Hillary sees a chance to be VP & then President. People who stand in her way can be unlucky.
Someone else said the Obama people running the WH would not tolerate Hillary given the bad blood between Obama and Hillary.
I tend to think the VP will be either Whitmer or Hochul. Joe will pick a VP by gender (Harris) and fervor for baby murder. “Safe, rare and legal” Hillary has no chance at being Joe’s VP.
A possible prerecorded message:
My name is Joe Biden.
It has been my great pleasure to serve the America people for over 50 years.
I wish I could continue to do so for many more years, but the pills my doctors give me are not going to allow me to do so.
Therefore, I must ask you to vote for the Biden/Hochul ticket in the coming weeks knowing in advance that I will resign shortly after being sworn in. My vice presidential running mate will serve you well in my stead.
I thank you for choosing me as the Democratic nominee and I will do my part to ensure a better future for you. I need you do your part by voting for me, Hochul and other Democratic candidates.
Hitlery would be an excellent choice for Biden from a Dem point of view.
Trump already beat Hillary, so no big deal for us.
Such a lack of imagination. The Dems have a really calcified bench to select from. Next we’re going to here suggestions of Nancy Pelosi to replace Joe Biden.
DuckDuckGo
black woman democrat
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine_Crockett
“Texas representative becomes first Black woman Democrat to play in Congressional Baseball Game”
CNN
Very true. Even though Jimmy is 100 years old, he still has a better mind than Biden.
Omg!
There are over 30@,000,000 people in USA and the best the WashFjshPost can come up with is HilLIARy?!
Ha ha ha ha ha HA!
Yes, replace the Ineligible Harris
But HilLIARy?!?
Ps: in addition to her psychiatric issues, she drives up a storm
“Everyone who believed that a little black girl who sometimes had to go without lights or running water – who grew up to become the first woman to lead in the Georgia General Assembly – could become the first woman gubernatorial nominee from either party in Georgia’s history”
would obama allow it?
might force his hand on michelle
And the Washington post writer should replace their brain with silly putty.
Oh Please. Pantsuit lady smells like moldy cheese at this point.
That’s such a a good idea. I’m sure Joe trusts Hillary with his life🙄. What could he possibly worry about with such a decent and honest person as vice president? She wouldn’t let her ambition get in the way. I think Joe should draft the gas bag immediately.
Joe to be euthanized January 22nd?
The beast and the false prophet.
WAPO columnist “Hey Biden, replace Heels up Harris with Hilary so we can then force you out”.
If you were “Dr” Jill.....why the hell would you go for this?
Duuhhhhhhhh.
You know this is happening because Snake Head Carville is back on the scene making the rounds with the media.
The big problem the Democrats have right now is that Biden has screwed things up so bad it's likely that Trump is going to win even if they try to replace Biden.
Losing to Trump is going to destroy the presidential dreams of any legit Democrat with who seriously aspires to be the President and there are very few with enough stature and national prsenece to make a run.
Biden's VP Kamala is a DEI disaster who can't even string three words together.
The only Democrat Gov with potential is Gavin Newsome and he has serious negatives not to mention the fact that has run California into the ground. .
What Senate Democrat? -can’t thin of any. Certainly not Chuck Schummer and Hillary's VP choice of Klaine is a weirdo and a joke.
The House? Certainly not Nancy Pelosi or any of the rest aged and unalppealing leadership
It really comes down to Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsome, Michele Obama or maybe a General like Mattis who could make the switcheroo. The best option at this point would seem to be replacing Kamala with the Mooch or Hillary in the VP slot at the convention.
If it rankles Cankles, then it's good for America.
And here we go. She has been sulking and plotting in her lair since 2016.
