Imagine if Gavin Newsom was currently Vice President amid the final meltdown of the Biden family consortium.
Does anyone doubt that Biden would then either be forced to resign by Democratic politicos (for reasons in addition to his escalating dementia), or would be impeached and perhaps abdicate Nixon-style?
The presence of the now predictable mediocrity of Kamala Harris and the impossibility, given her race and gender, of removing her, for now is about all that keeps a cognitively declining Biden still in office. The Left fears what she could do as president to the Democratic Party; conservatives are terrified of what she could do to the country.
Joe Biden’s bewilderment exempts his embarrassments from accountability in the way that Hunter Biden’s addictions excuse his past serial criminality. But the passes granted to both father and son would be now unsustainable with a viable Vice President in waiting.
Indeed, the Harris problem explains some of current Democratic strategy.
Backroom leaks and growing insider rumors of Biden dementia confirm the portrait of an often befuddled president whom the public by now knows all too well.
The aimless House Democrats’ “how-dare-you-even-consider-an-impeachment inquiry” furor, coupled with their half-hearted efforts, along with the media, to refute the actual charges of corruption of the Biden family, suggest that he will not run for reelection—but also not be impeached much less convicted or removed under the 25th Amendment.
So the Harris dilemma explains a lot: finding a way to keep her out of current power until Biden somehow finishes his first term, and thus letting the Democratic 2024 primary candidates organically abort her presidential aspirations.
There are a few problems, however, with this strategy.
One, can Joe Biden finish his first term?
That would require his staff to shorten his already truncated workday...

Most Dem voters do NOT like RFK jr, he can't be their nominee
“And the disgusting parents, who all in for a photo op with this perverted excuse for a President, are grinningly willing to subject their toddler to this.”
Maybe these are the kind of parents who would have no problem with “gender affirming care” for their 6-year old.
The people that put this embarassment in the White House with Harris as VP need to be identified and punished. Eighty-two mllion votes? Ha!
That shows Americans just how stupid Democrats are and will
continue to be.
Yes remember how many joined Hitler’s army in the 30’s they have pure communist mind set.
Look at all the woke issues they have promoted and the way things are now.
Trump is right he’s the only candidate that can save America it’s why the left want him gone.
Obviously dems are aware of that, so we would expect them to swear in the replacement forthwith if Harris resigned. Another possibility is, Biden resigns first and Harris promises to do the same after the next VP is sworn in. Of course a few fanatics think Harris needs to be the next POTUS but the real rulers would not allow it unless they wanted more chaos.
Than for posting this with the “Editorial” topic so that posters will see it on the sidebar!
No problem. I just did not know how to do it before.
Stolen elections have dire consequences.
Hanson deliveres a splendid analysis detailing the Biden / Harris dilemma. But you have added other analysis showing Gavin Newsome is not necessarily the savior the Leftist cabal seeks.
In the 1840s, Emerson made some observations that ring true on own current national problem.
With such an ignorant and deceivable majority, States would soon run to ruin. However that there are limitations, beyond which the folly and ambition of governors cannot go. Things have their laws, as well as men; and things refuse to be trifled with.
Property will be protected. Corn will not grow, unless it is planted and manured; but the farmer will not plant or hoe it, unless the chances are a hundred to one, that he will cut and harvest it.
Likewise, the attributes of a person — his wit and his moral energy — will exercise, under any law or extinguishing tyranny, their proper force, -- if not overtly, then covertly; if not for the law, then against it; with right, or by might.
It would be one thing if this were an encounter with a somewhat “normal” politician, but he isn’t that.
This disgusting beast has a history of this weird sniffing thing of girls and showering with his teenage daughter.
Anyone who would voluntarily bring a young female child within arm’s length of this pervert deserves to have that child taken away from them for endangerment.
I don’t know why except for the Vax he’s either with them or to the left of them on all issues that matter to them!
Does the Democrat Party pay a price for this disaster? Are Dem voters telling themselves that they are not going to vote for more Dems?
Simple. Come next Spring, after declaring a Climate Emergency and crashing the markets, Biden will announce mournfully that due to medical developments he has decided he will not run for re-election. He will serve out his term and retire, to the accolades from the peanut gallery. Maybe get a Nobel Peace Prize for his epoch-making performance in office.
The Rat party will throw open candidate selection to the primaries, which they basically control anyway, but where Harris won’t stand a chance of nomination. There goes the “Harris “ problem.
Welcome your next president, Gavin Newsome.
Pike was honorable very poor comparison
FWIW....I think VDH is smarter than me..and you.
Next spring is probably too late to get on the ballot for primaries, and late to get the fundraising started. It would be more convenient for everyone if Biden announced now that he wasn’t running.
It would solve the Democrats’ problem if Biden resigned and Harris contented herself with being the first woman president and announced that she wasn’t going to run either, but I don’t see her doing that.
“ In the event of a vacancy, doesn’t the Speaker of the House become VP?”
No.
