Kamala Harris’s team is concerned that Democrats will install a white candidate ahead of her to replace Joe Biden, arguing that it would be “offensive” to black voters to overlook her should the president stand aside.
Mr Biden is facing calls to step back from the race over concerns about his age, after a disastrous television debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday.
The Biden campaign, which is a joint ticket between the US president and Ms Harris, has dismissed calls for him to step aside for a younger candidate.
However, allies of Ms Harris are frustrated that she has largely been excluded from the list of possible replacements, arguing that it would be “offensive” to overlook a black woman for the job.
Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governors of California and Michigan, have so far been at the centre of speculation about a replacement nominee.
“The fact that people keep coming back to this is so offensive to so many of us,” an ally of Ms Harris told Politico.
“They still don’t get that the message you’re saying to people, to this Democratic Party, is, we prefer a white person.”
Another source added: “If they think they are going to get through South Carolina bashing an effective and qualified black woman vice president — their instincts are as bad as I thought they were.”
Ms Harris’s team has pointed out that her race may allow her to appeal to black voters – a core demographic for the Democrats that has begun to shift away from Mr Biden in recent months.
Data from the Pew Research centre shows 77 per cent of black voters say they are leaning towards voting for Mr Biden in November, down from 93 per cent that supported him in 2020.
>> she’s a 59 year old stupid person who doesn’t know how the world works.
Sure she does! (she thinks)
“Heels Up” is how the world works.
And sadly, in quite a few spheres of influence, she’s correct...
Willie Brown agrees.
“Poontang” is no way to go through life, Kamala.
You go gurl! Don’t let them jump right over you with a White candidate. :^)
Hush Yo Mouf! Its Heels Up....uhh....I mean Kamala’s turn dammit! She’s earned it. She stands for Black Women everywhere. Replacing her would be a win for the patriarchy. Not to mention racist. Kamala 2024!
There is no “pulling back” in the Alinsky playbook, its full steam ahead until they destroy everything.
Was she on her knees? Or was it heels up? Never mind don’t really want to know.
According to a 2015–2018 CDC report, 17.7% of women in the United States reported using antidepressants in the past 30 days, compared to 8.4% of men.
When DEI is more important to the liberals than finding there most electable candidate and stay in power.
No, they just prefer a non-Kamala person.
Agreed. Far too many have demanded he step down, and even several TDS friends/coworkers have at least acknowledged he was lost most of the time tells me a lot.
They can’t keep the status quo and must do something. What that is, I’m not really sure yet.
Does she hate all white democrats? Or just the white male Democrats? Isn’t that kind of racist? Sexist?
She may be talented at screwing her way up the political ladder, but that will only take her so far.
The “word salad” queen is a terrible communicator and politician that can only win in hard-core democrat states. She has zero appeal outside those areas.
Harris doesn’t have any political talent and would suffer a crushing defeat in November. (if she were to replace Joe.)

My bad, double post.
Time for bed......ZZZZZzzzzzzzz.
Maybe he buys her diamonds, furs and T Bonds.
According to what I know... Kamala Harris is NOT EVEN BLACK!
She is part Jamacian and part Indian ( Country of India )
You know? They're just hypocrites through and through.
