Some Democrats are worried about Harris’s political prospects
Washington Post ^ | 02/03/2023

As a longtime leader of the Cobb County Democrats, Jacquelyn Bettadapur has become highly attuned to the factors shaping her party’s fortunes in her home state of Georgia: the rise and fall of Stacey Abrams, Democrats’ unexpected surge in 2020, the enduring influence of Donald Trump.

Now, Bettadapur is worried about the political prospects of the woman positioned to be President Biden’s heir — Vice President Harris.

“People are poised to pounce on anything — any misstep, any gaffe, anything she says — and so she’s probably not getting the benefit of the doubt,” said Bettadapur, who recently stepped down as county party chair. Many Democrats, Bettadapur said, “don’t know enough about what she’s doing” — and, she added, “it doesn’t help that she’s not [that] adept as a communicator.”

Such concerns about Harris’s political strength were repeated often by more than a dozen Democratic leaders in key states interviewed for this story, some speaking on the condition of anonymity to convey candid thoughts. Harris’s tenure has been underwhelming, they said, marked by struggles as a communicator and at times near-invisibility, leaving many rank-and-file Democrats unpersuaded that she has the force, charisma and skill to mount a winning presidential campaign.

Kamala really needs to push Uncle Joe down the stairs while Auntie Jill is at the Super Bowl with her boyfriend (She must have one because she’s going without Joe and he is acting like he doesn’t want to go.)

Why should Dems worry about ANY future elections?

They have cheating down to a fine art now, with RINOs content to sit back and let them get away with it as long as MAGA candidates lose.

There is a critical hint here. The only Demos worried about this issue are the only ones with an IQ north of 90. Those are the ones to watch.

OK, so why is the WaPo doing a hit piece on Harris? This article is nothing more than a hard hit.

**********

Biden & the democrats have a “Harris problem.”

She’s a stupid person who doesn’t have the qualities to be President. She would be a national & international joke.

It looks like Biden wants to run, but needs a new VP.

The long knives are out for Harris. Warren took a shot at her recently.

*************

Biden is going to run, win and after two years and one day
he will resign and VP Harris will become the President and
can be elected for two more terms.

The only way Harris becomes President is if Biden dies in office.

She has zero talent and can’t win a democrat primary let alone a general election.

Biden and Harris’s political prospects are zero Biden will die broke to keep family out of prison but it won’t help all.
Harris will have to go back into ceiling inspection.
