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

What utter BS. In the event of a vacancy, doesn't the Speaker of the House become VP? Maybe that's what they're afraid of.

No the Speaker of the House does not become vice-president.

If the office of vice-president is vacant, the president nominates a replacement, subject to confirmation by both Houses of Congress.

No. The VP would be nominated by the new president and would need to be confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress. So if Biden left for whatever reason, Harris would become president. She would nominate a VP and there would be quite a show with the R House and D Senate trying to come up with a majority to confirm.
