Would Biden Really Pick Kamala Harris for Supreme Court to Get Rid of Her?

Does Joe Biden want Kamala Harris to be his vice president anymore?

There are rumors that he doesn’t.

“Joe Biden’s relationship with Kamala Harris is in crisis, with her staff furious that she is being ‘sidelined,’ while the president’s team are increasingly frustrated by how she is playing with American public,” reports the Daily Mail. “Harris’ approval rating has plunged even further than Biden’s in recent months, with rumors swirling that the president is considering appointing her to the Supreme Court as a backdoor method of selecting a new VP.”

Wait, what? Really?

Something doesn’t smell right here. The Daily Mail’s source for this “rumor” is the now notorious CNN story exposing the dysfunction behind the scenes of the Biden-Harris administration. Here’s what it says:

Defenders and people who care for Harris are getting frantic. When they’re annoyed, some pass around a recent Onion story mocking her lack of more substantive work, one with the headline, “White House Urges Kamala Harris To Sit At Computer All Day In Case Emails Come Through.” When they’re depressed, they bat down the Aaron Sorkin-style rumor that Biden might try to replace her by nominating her to a Supreme Court vacancy. That chatter has already reached top levels of the Biden orbit, according to one person who’s heard it.

Aaron Sorkin, of course, is the creator of the hit show “The West Wing,” which ran from 1999 to 2006. This rumor certainly would make for a hell of a plot for a political television drama. However, it doesn’t seem likely—not in this reality of the multiverse. If there’s friction between Biden and Kamala Harris, why would he want to reward her with a lifetime appointment?

If they were going to ditch Harris, it would be by scandal. She would then resign to spend more time with her family.

That wouldn't work. Democrats don't resign. Especially Democrats of color.

Biden could appoint her and if she accepted the appointment, she would have to resign as vice president. As soon as her resignation was accepted, a vindictive Biden could withdraw her nomination. This would leave her out with no recourse. Biden has no future so he would have no concern about the fallout.
