Joe Biden Stabs Kamala Harris in the Back, as Democrats Scramble for a Way Out

The relationship between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their respective staffs has been on rocky ground for months. As RedState previously reported, the vice president and her camp have complained about being abandoned, even blaming racism as a possible factor, while the White House has fretted at Harris’ sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own.

Those tensions have led to lots of speculation about what exactly happens in 2024. Harris is clearly a terrible candidate, something she showed during the 2020 presidential primary, but she’s also the heir apparent until Democrats forcibly remove her from that position.

Well, it sounds like the move to neutralize her has been made. As far-fetched and ridiculous as it sounds, Joe Biden is now telling allies that he will run in 2024, knee-capping Harris’ prior plan to ascend to the throne after a single, transitory term from Biden.

President Biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024, as they take steps to deflect concern about the 79-year-old president’s commitment to another campaign and growing Democratic fears of a coming Republican return to power.

The efforts come as the broader Democratic community has become increasingly anxious after a bruising six-month stretch that has seen Biden’s national approval rating plummet more than a dozen points, into the low 40s, amid growing concerns about inflation, Democratic infighting in Washington and faltering public health efforts to move beyond the covid-19 pandemic.

The Democrats have completely painted themselves into a corner. On the one hand, there’s no way that Biden can mount a legitimate campaign in 2024. There will be no COVID-19 lockdown to justify him hiding out in the basement, refusing to face the public, as he did in 2020. The American people have made clear they are done with that, and as Glenn Youngkin’s recent win showed, an ability to galvanize people and draw crowds is vital during a more normal election year.

Is Biden going to barnstorm the country, hold rallies, answer questions, and generally enthuse people in a year that is already likely to favor Republicans? Consider me extremely doubtful, given how incapable he appears even while being protected within the confines of the presidency. All that gets stripped away when the horse race starts, and the contrast between Biden and someone like Ron DeSantis will be massive.

But what choice do Democrats have? Kamala Harris is an absolutely horrific choice to carry their banner forward. She is nakedly ambitious, deeply inauthentic, and rivals a root canal in the hearts and minds of most Americans. You can sense that many party insiders want no part of her as the 2024 nominee, but they also know that throwing Harris under the bus would dramatically damage their voting coalition. While most Americans can’t stand Harris, a majority of Democrats love her, and that complicates matters. There can be no open primary in 2024 without nuking the party.

Thus, you get the senile, geriatric old man stabbing Harris in the back, running for reelection when he’s clearly not up for it. Democrats have nothing but bad choices, though. It’s Biden or Harris, and the White House has decided that it’s better to go with the dude with dementia versus the vice president who couldn’t energize a Jack Russell terrier.

All of the above.

I thought she professed to being a socialist.

Her sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own, Kamala was an absolutely horrific choice....... nakedly ambitious, deeply inauthentic, more like a root canal in the hearts and minds of Americans.

And Bungle Biden never saw that coming?

Stuck on stupid.

Joe will fire the idiot, name Hillary as his “vice” president, and then he will quit.

Hillary will get her wish.

Patriotic Americans everywhere understand that Joe Biden is no more competent or liked than his VP Kamala Harris. Each side is trying to shift attention from their own incompetence to the squalor of their running mate. It is our sincere desire that both fail as miserably as they have ruled.

>>I thought she professed to being a socialist.<<

She is. Tulsi was a Bernie supporter.

I said “She has been working hard to convince people she is not one of those radical leftists.”

I didn’t say she wasn’t a radical leftist. She’s just trying to hide it.

When Shelly replaces Kamala (replaces Joe), that sexist/racist charge will have been countered.

[caww]

Well Harris can go out claiming to be the first Colored, and first Woman to serve as vp.....plus First woman to serve as President while she took over for Biden’s butt check.

[hinckley buzzard]

Hillary! and Mayor Pete.

[alexander_busek]

I just realized that “President for life” really does fit Biden.

Yes, you're right! It is oddly fitting!

Our team should adopt it as a standard epithet. Better than "Sleepy Joe" insofar as it alludes both to his age/senility and his resemblance to a S. American autocrat.

But what choice do Democrats have?

There’s always Gretchen Whitmer and Jennifer Grandholm...

Tulsi? No way...she’s too sane for dumblecrats.

People seem to think the Uniparty (D) and (R) still play by the rules adopted over the last fifty years. They seem to forget what happened in 2020. In 2020 the left, abetted by the DC Uniparty (R) did whatever was necessary to steal the presidency, senate and house. The election fraud and felonies were laughably obvious and so ham handed that the left had to know the DC republicans would roll over and aid in the steal. Knowing absolutely zip happened to them after the trifecta of election thefts in ‘20, why wouldn’t they do the same in ‘24. If it takes an additional 20% increase in the Philadelphia or Detroit or Atlanta or Houston or even Miami voter fraud to steal it again, why on earth wouldn’t they do it. The ability to ensue a legitimate election in ‘24 will be much more compromised than it was in 2020. Look at the increase in election fraud election to election from 2016 on. The fraud increased geometrically each time. The trend is not about to stop.

"the White House has decided that it’s better to go with the dude with dementia versus the vice president who couldn’t energize a Jack Russell terrier."

There's one simple problem to this strategy, and I ran into it with my own parents. Both parents got to roughly the same stage in their dementia as Biden is now. Each was unable to fully care for themselves and needed help. My sister and I moved them into a nearby "Memory Care" facility.

We asked the facility management how long could our parents stay there. They tactfully told us "for the rest of their lives". They also tactfully told us the average stay was about three years. Our parent's stays lasted about three years.

So, in three years, about the time until the next presidential election, it will be "Weekend at Joe's" time. I doubt that even CNN could pull that one off.

America’s sick and tired of these irresponsible, incompetent frauds.

Do you really think so? From where I am sitting, it sure doesn't seem like it. People bitch about high prices and all; as a whole though I'm not seeing a lot of changes taking place. Oh sure, they'll vote the bums out in 2022 and maybe even 2024. It, like how many times in the past, will look like the rearranging for the deck chairs on the Titanic when the dust settles. The ratings of the NFL are going back up, and it ain't because the pro-queer NFL adds on TV brought in so many new fans. It's because "conservatives" are gong back to sleep. It's a canary in the coalmine indicator of what is happening socially.
