Vice President Harris should 'step aside' for good of the country, Washington Post columnist says

Vice President Harris should "step aside," Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote on Friday, as she called the vice president's performance "disappointing," and warned she's become a "burden to the Democratic ticket."

While she said she was pulling for Harris to succeed, Parker argued her performance "has been disappointing."

"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. The seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning," Parker wrote.

"Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others," Parker wrote.

The headline to the column read, "For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step aside."

Parker argued that her perspective was not partisan as she also called for Sarah Palin to quit in 2008.

his relatively successful State of the Union address…

Did I miss something?

Like that’s going to happen!

Maybe a few more Republicans resign, retire or get thrown out of the House and Nancy or Hakeem become Speaker.

Willie Brown’s fellator will not be amused.

She might be called a conservative in comparison to AOC or Comrade Bernie, but she needs to move several degrees to the right before she gets to RINO status.

A plausible scenario, although I suspect there are three possible VP picks, Governor Hair Gel, Cankles and Witchmer, all equally awful for the survival of the country.

Harris out, Big Mike in.

Two possibilities:

(1) If Biden stays on the ticket, they realize that people are going to be looking at the vice-presidential candidates much more closely than usual (because of Biden's age and dementia) — that is, the VP candidate will matter for a change. So changing running mate could help Biden.

(2) If Biden doesn't stay on the ticket, they don't want any serious thought given to running Kamala Harris for president in his place. They know that she would lose in the general.

Democrats knew what they were getting when they signed up those two disasters. Only the totally brainless would expect anything of worth from a worthless politician like Harris. They can’t get back the “first black” president or vice president ever again, what’s next?

i was wondering when someone would see this trial balloon.

They plan to install her in 2026 for a 10-year run.

Thus placing who the Dems REALLY want as our next president into the catbird seat.

Joe quits (one way or another) before election...
USA has Gerald Ford II president for a few months...
USA elects replacement because...
Horse in mid-stream.

They are, literally, scared to death.

If Harris indeed resigned there would be no approved replacement by the current congress.

The article isn't talking about Harris resigning from the Vice Presidency. It is talking about her withdrawal from the 2024 Democratic ticket (from the article):

This is why I propose with all due respect that Harris step away from the ticket," Parker continued.

And for those people worried about how she can be forced to walk away given her intersectionality (quasi-black, Asian, female), there are ways.

Given that Kamala is a dud, much behind the scenes pressure can be brought to bear to coerce her to resign in a way that makes it look like her idea.

In fact, if she doesn't drop from the ticket, Hillary can arrange a crippling or even fatal disease.

Parker came out sounding hard-core conservative after 911 - then she went back to the reservation...now she’s trying to make it easier for the Dems to hold the corrupt scepter of power...

Love this Trump ad with her laughing at the end
If Biden wins, can he even survive till 2029? The real question is, can we?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

My Ouija Board still says that Biden will have a health issue and be forced to resign and Harris will be president—the first woman US President. She will hide in the White House, read the speeches given to her, smile and laugh. She will select Hillary as her VP. and not run for re-election her fortune made. Hillary will run.

The Criminal Democrat Party should 'step aside' for good of the country, Patriots say.

[TexasFreeper2009]

everyone needs to face facts. Heels up Harris was only chosen for one reason and one reason only.

She was a black woman.

That’s it, period. She is an unlikeable moron and totally unqualified to run a lemonaid stand, much less the US. With Biden about to keel over any day, it becomes a larger and larger issue.
