Kamala Harris’s team is concerned that Democrats will install a white candidate ahead of her to replace Joe Biden, arguing that it would be “offensive” to black voters to overlook her should the president stand aside.
Mr Biden is facing calls to step back from the race over concerns about his age, after a disastrous television debate performance against Donald Trump on Thursday.
The Biden campaign, which is a joint ticket between the US president and Ms Harris, has dismissed calls for him to step aside for a younger candidate.
However, allies of Ms Harris are frustrated that she has largely been excluded from the list of possible replacements, arguing that it would be “offensive” to overlook a black woman for the job.
Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governors of California and Michigan, have so far been at the centre of speculation about a replacement nominee.
“The fact that people keep coming back to this is so offensive to so many of us,” an ally of Ms Harris told Politico.
“They still don’t get that the message you’re saying to people, to this Democratic Party, is, we prefer a white person.”
Another source added: “If they think they are going to get through South Carolina bashing an effective and qualified black woman vice president — their instincts are as bad as I thought they were.”
Ms Harris’s team has pointed out that her race may allow her to appeal to black voters – a core demographic for the Democrats that has begun to shift away from Mr Biden in recent months.
Data from the Pew Research centre shows 77 per cent of black voters say they are leaning towards voting for Mr Biden in November, down from 93 per cent that supported him in 2020.
Or worse yet, that they replace Joe with someone who has a functioning brain 😌
And many of his friends.
Isn’t Joe white? Oh yeah, vote for him or you ain’t black.
Kamala appears to have more white than black ancestry. But like obama, she goes out of her way to deny her white side. Come on, people, get over this skin color business. It’s like they have no identity unless they can dig up some grandpa who was black. Living off that gramps had dark pigment is a sad, sad way to go through life.
That’s so fairy.
Doesn’t matter, Biden or Harris at the top of the ticket, either will lose BIG.
She has done nothing but bat her bedroom eyes and paste on that fake smile to get where she is today.
As Devil’s advocate, I must ask.......What if Trump is sentenced to prison at the July 11 sentencing for the Stormy Whore felonies?
They don’t want to win this time. That’s been the plan. Amerika and the world is too messed up (look for a huge up tick in the messing up until Jan.) but watch them come back blaming Trump in 08.
Sentencing has been delayed
“how does Newsom win the votes of black American women that every Democrat now depends on to win statewide or nationally ?”
The only people who think Newsom is a viable candidate are the idiots in the California media and three or four drunk FReepers.
Your post makes sense.
Newscum does have that good, likeable and trustworthy deep state appearance as well as a good deep state track record with Commiefornia.
Who else could do a better job of finishing off America than Newscum and Mike Obama?
I would LOVE to remind KAMALA that SHE is not eligible-—AND she never was eligible.
Jamaican & Hindu.
Neither parent a citizen when she was born.
AND YES-—IT MATTERS
AMEN to that!
Kamala is not thinking of another option on the DNC’s table....
To replace her as the VP running mate, with a white man, Gavin Newsom, to propel the old man who won’t drop out - Biden, over the finish line.
By pledging reparations to African Americans.
(Hey Elon, better start hitting the tanning bed)
Maybe she should not have married a white man if that is how she feels about white people.
“an effective and qualified black woman vice president “
Hilarious.
Last evening I had a recurring thought some what amended by your post.
Was there a deal to forgo Trump sentencing in return for putting off Hunter sentencing?
Was the Trump felony trial specifically to thwart a Hunter trial?
Racists gotta be racist.
