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 Biden were looking to replace Kamala Harris by nominating her to the Supreme Court, that would mean he’d have to hope for a vacancy before the 2022 midterms.
Even if that happens, the 50-50 split in the chamber means that he’d have to get at least one Republican to vote with all the Democrats, and that is assuming that she’d have the support of moderate Democrats like Manchin and Sinema.
As a hyperpartisan San Francisco liberal, it seems unlikely that either would risk voting for her confirmation to the Supreme Court over an actual jurist with experience on the bench.
A vacancy after the midterms would be even more problematic. The current political climate suggests that the 2022 midterms will be very good for the GOP.
Thus, should a Supreme Court vacancy occur after the 2022 midterms, Biden will likely face a GOP majority. Mitch McConnell has already promised to block Biden from filling a vacancy if the GOP wins the Senate. Still, even if he goes back on that, it seems unlikely that Kamala Harris would get Republican support, thus dooming her nomination.
Hillary says, yes!...............
Doesn’t matter. No sane Senate would approve Kamala Harris for the Supreme Court. I doubt even the current Senate would.
These are godless, anti-American communists parading as Democrats. Of course he would put Harris on the SCOTUS, and you can bet that Linda Grahnesty would vote YEA to seat her.
He could do this, because it would be seen as an appointment to a higher position. It would not be reported by the media as him dismissing or firing his vice president.
Um. Don’t you need a vacancy first?
I swear, why do these unsubstantiated speculations by clickbait sites get so much validation?
Biden isn’t looking to replace Harris. He probably thinks she’s Diana Ross or something.
But I’d imagine the Obama Cartel that runs the White House is looking to ditch Harris’ unpopular carcass because her numbers are so bad it’s costing them in downballot races.
It’s also an indicator that Biden is truly failing and the spectre of a Harris Presidency scares the crap out of the Obama Cartel.
“Don’t you need a vacancy first?”
Not if you are trying to pack the court.
And just which conservative justice would be invited to a hunting weekend in Texas this time?
“Um. Don’t you need a vacancy first?”
What makes you assume that someone isn’t planning on creating a vacancy?
Myself, I’d hope that this means Biden will soon resign and retire due to his obvious declining health. But I would not put it past the same mob that ran a coup against President Trump to arrange an accident for President Biden.
All kidding aside, I sincerely hope the Secret Service and the military are working to keep Biden safe from the White House staff who are actually running this country.
Does the President have to get along with the Vice-President?
The main job of the Vice President is to attend funerals.
Between poopy-pants nose picking fraud pedojoe bidet and kamaltoeho, this is yet another extremely “loaded” statement.
Biden ain’t ain’t making the calls. The only decision he gets to make is what kind of pudding to have before nap time.
... and Nancy Pelosi for VP? Really?
Never underestimate the general stupidity of the Democrats.
A Cabbage Patch doll would understand the issues better.
Can’t believe Hillary hasn’t staked a claim to a seat on the
court yet.
I’m sure she thinks Chief Justice would be fitting.
...unless they plan on ‘packing the court’ like Biden denied during the election cycle.
it’s bold strategy cotton
Why would Kamala say yes when she is one heartbeat from the Presidency?
