An open convention gets rid of Harris without openly getting rid of Harris.
It is the easiest and best way to push her out of the way.
Would such a convention be wild and crazy?
For sure—but there would be so many ticked off Democrats calling each other names that Harris will just be one of dozens of stories to cover.
An open convention gets rid of Harris without openly getting rid of Harris.
*********************
If they dump both Biden & Harris their convention will be a complete mess & they’ll lose in November by the worst margins since 1988.
If Biden resigns and Harris becomes President, they’ll still lose by the worst margins since 1988.
A Biden resignation would create a vacancy for VP after Harris becomes the 47th President. House Republicans could block any replacement leaving President Harris without a VP until after Trump’s inauguration.
Harris would still have a running mate for the election, but they wouldn’t be the VP. House Republicans should play hardball and only confirm a ‘no name’ democrat.
At the end of the day I think they stick with Biden because all their other choices are worse. I think Biden loses but not by 1988 margins.
One last point, didn’t the democrat voters in their primary contests overwhelmingly back the Biden/Harris Virus?
