You would be correct. Mark Levin yesterday said Kamala Harris would be the one to preside over the case.

The Vice-President does not preside in the impeachment trial of the President because of the conflict of interest in presiding over the means of becoming President themselves.

In the case of Trump, we would have the same conflict of interest in Kamala Harris presiding over the banning of her potential 2024 rival from running.

This would open up huge constitutional issues of parties impeaching their most popular campaign rivals just to prevent them from running.

“Mark Levin yesterday said Kamala Harris would be the one to preside over the case.”

That would make it even more partisan, which means that likelihood of conviction will be near zero. Even Delecto may vote against conviction.
