Hispanic? That makes no sense. He looks like a mulatto, and there is no such thing as a “dark hispanic”. That would properly be a mestizo or mulato. “Hispanic” implies some Spanish ancestry, and afaik he claims none in his public statements on his family in Jamaica. And then there is the “dark” - it could be Indian blood, as in the case of most Mexicans and most Central-South Americans (with major exceptions in a few places), but there is very little of that Native American ancestry in Caribbean populations, by genetic analysis. The “dark” part of Puerto Ricans, for instance, is mostly African. This Wiki has studies of Jamaican DNA, both MTDNA (cumulative mothers side) and Y-DNA (cumulative fathers side) and there is very little trace of Native American DNA.

Let's hope that is what will happen.
They weren’t forced out. The lost. Noe enough voters supported them.
elena kagan was once nominated to be a judge, but never was one before being confirmed to the SCOTUS.
She is a lawyer.
They were forced out. Biden’s South Carolina win was a cheat to strengthen his hand on Super Tuesday.
It would be a twofer - two commie/Marxists...
And Biden? Retired once the new VP takes over..
My money is on Big Mike...
Let the Pubbies try reject Obama 2.0...
Yeah Big Mike makes sense. Not sure s(he) would want that
Not going to be Kamala. I can’t see her wanting the job when president is literally a heartbeat or more likely an angry incoherent rant away.
If Joe fumbles and Kamala accedes to the throne she will be primaried in my opinion. But at least she will be 1st female president which makes her queen for a day.
Harris gets to live a long life as a Justice, Dems and assistant Dems settle on a new VP, who takes over for POTATUS after a suitable waiting period.
A little tough on Breyer and Mrs. POTATUS.
I can’t figure why they installed Harris in the first place, knowing POTATUS was unlikely to survive four years. Maybe they couldn’t decide on someone. Or the someone was someone that would turn off voters.
There’s nothing in the Constitution I’ve read that says she can’t vote for herself in the event there is a tie vote that needs broken. She is still president of the senate and vice president until she resigns the office.
I think they could try an end run; they insist that she needs to resign as vice president first and that the judgeship will be hers, and do a quick vote to get a new VP. Then all of a sudden Harris, discovers her nomination is all bottled up due to “concerns”...thus she has no office and no job.
I don’t like Harris but I dislike Biden much worse. She needs to stay and wave off all disingenuous requests that she take “another one up the rear” for the good of the Democrat party! She needs to hold onto what she has got and goad Biden into a complete meltdown.(Ironically it might be the best thing for the country in that this distraction keeps the Dems from being united.) I think we misjudge her and if pushed, like many women scorned, she will go completely nuclear on Biden! I also think our political enemies know this, too and they are in a sore spot about it. They can’t Epstein her or arkancide her, much to obvious.
It’s what happens when they are so quick to cheat on the vote that they never quite thought about the fact that you still need to have competent people in charge.
I apologized to my son today that he as a 20 something yeart old male will be, with many of his peers, having to endure some years of economic pain and instability with no certainty as to what will happen to our country at the other end of it. The Glorious Appearing?
Harris has some leverage and some power here. Yes, she could have an accident or be despondent, but how often do they want to play that card? Moving her to the Court doesn’t cost much and solves a big problem.
It’s never going to happen. Harris is inappropriate for the role. Plus, she doesn’t have the juice to warrant such a plum job. People are delusional.

I agree with three of four of those sentences but it won’t stop or even slow down democrats from doing really, really stupid s**t.
Juice.
You funny...
I said this as a joke! Just today! OMG.
Kagan wasn’t a justice, but she was a law clerk to a Supreme Court justice, and an appeal court justice. She had an academic career, and was General Counsel. She had light years more experience than Harris. Heck, even Scalia said he hoped Obama should pick her because she was so smart.
You are falling for spin. South Carolina was the first state with significant black voters. Black voters are important in the Democratic primary. Bernie and Pete could wi in states like Iowa and New Hampshire, where there weren't significant black voters, but they got clobbered in states with black voters.
Black voters rejected Bernie twice, and Pete once. Show me any evidence that black voters liked Bernie.
It would benefit the right if they put Harris in. But they won’t.
