Is a high-profile confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill on the horizon? On Tuesday night, Fox News’ Jesse Watters reported that Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram “has been hearing whispers suggesting there could be some new, high-profile confirmation hearings on the horizon in the House of Representatives.”
“Why is this a big deal? Because the House does not confirm normal nominees, but it does confirm vice presidential nominees. Does this have something to do with Kamala Harris?” Watters pondered.
Recent reports have suggested there’s a lot of tension and dysfunction behind the scenes in the White House. Kamala Harris isn’t happy with the role she’s been asked to play and her allies are accusing Biden of racism for favoring Transportation Secretary Buttigieg over her .
“There’s a lot of conjecture right now about the future of VP Harris and her lagging poll numbers,” Pergram told Watters. “As you know, I appreciate Congressional process and mechanics. So I got a message recently from someone who knows Capitol Hill very well, and they suggested that I should familiarize myself with the process to confirm a vacancy for the Vice President in the Senate and in the House.”
The last vice president to be confirmed by Congress was Norman Rockefeller after Gerald Ford became president following Richard Nixon’s resignation. Ford himself was confirmed by Congress to be Nixon’s vice president when he filled the vacancy left by Vice President Spiro Agnew.

Well that would be thinking 2 steps ahead. Does the House ever do that?
Still, more likely than Harris quitting, so close to the brass ring.
I agree.
If not, the House has to replace Harris. The replacement then replaces Biden and the House has to replace the replacement.
Unprecedented in history
More likely is that Biden has deteriorated to such a bad state that Harris will take over.
Kammie. Don’t you know Petey is the female. So you are starting a real cat fight.
Also, not nice to discriminate against a person who fits an alt lifestyle.
Shame on you...
“It’d be trading ineptitude for more ineptitude.”
I am sure that little Pete would have to run home every time one of the babies got the sniffles. Oh good grief.
Wanna bet? They are setting the stage for Peloski as president.
“Yea, who cares, they can hardly screw it up worse from here.”
Don’t say that! Every time I think that they can’t get worse, they prove me wrong.
Guaranteed she knows the facts behind Biden's, shall we say, "mental lapses". All she needs to do is infer (read: threaten) to expose all, and she's safe until 2024. That is, unless her royal thigh-ness, Queen Hillary, is angling for the nod. Then Arkan-cide is on the table.
Nelson Rockefeller. Not Norman.
She knows too much to be kicked out.
“She will not voluntarily resign unless she is or about to be indicted for a felony. This woman is without shame and will just sit in her office and wait for Biden’s inevitable end.”
^^^ This. No way in hell Kamala resigns just because Dr Jill & Co. don’t like her. On the basis of Biden’s condition, KH is just about the likeliest VP in the last 100 years to assume the presidency on the basis of the Pres conk out. Why would she (or really politician) voluntarily step away from that?
Right now this is the war of the leaks.
The party starts when the war escalates to the action phase.
Grab the popcorn!
I can see Biden quitting. That makes Harris the *choke* PUTUS automatically. Then they’d need to approve a veep.
But I would think Jillary might object strenuously to any measures that deprive Biden of a funeral of a sitting president, and that elevate Harris to the presidency.
OTOH, Jillary would need massive dirt on Harris to force her to quit.
Or maybe it’s all nonsense. It’s only 2021, and 3 years to go. Biden looks like he has an earlier use-by date, but there’s plenty of time unless someone just got a dreadful diagnosis...
Sure they could, by putting someone in who was halfway likeable so they could proceed to replace sleepy Joe. They know if they install Harris it will put 2024 beyond even cheating range.
It CAN get worse. Think HRC.
Harris is one disappearing plane away from disappearing.
This is not hard folks.
Right. The conventional wisdom makes this all about Harris being removed and ignores Biden’s mental decline, which is being hid from the public. It may be far worse than we know.
That would be my guess, if there’s anything to it. His ship has already taken on so much water it’s more likely to sink than even hers.
With mass media support and a bit of trickery they could keep a dead Bidet president for years....
