CNN political commentator Van Jones on Sunday suggested Democrats are preparing to run Vice President Harris for president, regardless of President Biden’s official standing in the race.
Jones, speaking on CNN’s “State of The Union,” emphasized the significance of the divide within the Democratic Party following Biden’s lackluster debate performance against former President Trump last month, saying it has turned things “in a negative direction” for the party.
“[Biden’s] still in the race and he’s doing what he’s supposed to do. I’m glad to see him out there. I’m glad he’s doing interviews. I’m glad he’s doing all those things. The challenge is that the numbers are not encouraging, and the party is no longer united,” Jones said.
“I think people are hoping that [Biden] will recognize we’re running Kamala Harris for president right now. That’s who we’re running,” Jones added later, saying many Democrats “love” Biden but do not think he will be able to defeat Trump in November.
Jones, pointing to the increasing number of House Democrats over the weekend calling on Biden to step aside from the 2024 race, argued the president’s insistence on staying in is preventing Harris from being able to make a viable case to the American people.
“Nobody believes Joe Biden can be president in four years. And so, we’re in the worst possible world because she can’t defend herself, she has to defend him,” Jones said. “We can’t defend her; we have to defend him. We’re basically running Kamala Harris anyway, let’s run Kamala Harris and let her get out there and defend herself.”
“The reality is we are running Kamala Harris for president one way or the other. I’d rather run for president in the strongest way rather than the weakest way,” he added.

Regardless of what they are saying, Biden has the full backing of the military leadership and the spy agencies. The decision is for him and him alone to make.
“The reality is we are running Kamala Harris for president one way or the other.”
what does that even mean? perhaps, BOTH kamala and joe will be on the ballot and run against each other? ... after all, that IS one way ... or is it the other?
Has Van Jones ever received Kamala’s special ‘Willie’ treatment?
You might want to forward your inquiry to the NSA.
They have the goods on everybody.
ummmm, no.
Unlike patriot Adm Mike Rogers who escaped with his life somewhat intact after exposing deepState treason and patriot Gen Michael Flynn who didn’t; normal Americans can risk no interaction with our Domestic enemies in the UnitedStates government.
Edward Snowden is an American hero.
Come to think of it, How did Adm Rogers leave relatively unscathed while Gen Flynn didn’t?
Probably because the total deepState IC with stupifyingly idiot Clapper and total Communist Brennan, traitor Schumer and traitor Pelosi who had control of the apparat all along, probably believed that he had their criminal deeds in evidence and would use that like the scumbags they would have..
If they replace Biden it will be with someone who has no real ability to win the White House. Any Democrat who actually thinks they can win will wait until 2028 and want no part of risking their dreams of the White House by being shoe horned into an unwinnable contest.
So, Harris is the most obvious and probably least problematic to get on the ballot in most place… if they can get Potato to step down… or execute him. She becomes president…
She can’t win a general election, but no one the Dems have can step into this crap storm with 120 days left and win.. so no one who truly wants the White House will risk their shot by being hamstrung as a shoehorn for Biden. So it’ll be someone who doesn’t have a realistic chance to win ever.
Once Kamala is confirmed as the nominee, the media gaslighting will be epic. Conservatives did not hear what we heard her say, and if we did we are racist, sexist, homophobic robber barons. :)
