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.
Who are the power brokers? Has Biden ever offered an idea of his successor? I’m presuming that Harris has never been part of that circle, just a useful idiot checking off boxes in 2020.
Can you imagine Trump saying or implying he’s worried Democrats will replace Joe Biden with black candidate.
The world would explode. They’d be marching on Mar-a-Lago with torches.
It has nothing to do with race or sex.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Instantly! Rich Libs would pay airfare and bail money for international troublemakers to destroy that state.
They can’t replace Biden with Harris, because she’s a 59 year old stupid person who doesn’t know how the world works.
They’ve hidden this dope for almost 4 years, and she’ll be embarrassed by either Trump’s VP or the 45th President himself in any future debates.
“The Empress doesn’t have any clothes,” either.
Democrats don’t much care about destroying “the system” as long as they maintain “their power”.
That’s what they mean by “our democracy”.
Theirs.
so sick if this shit
Isn’t she non-black herself?
I don’t disagree with you, yet she married a Jewish, white man.
Dumber than a rock, and she has an undergraduate degree and a law degree. Parents - look where she went to school and avoid those schools at all costs.
>> An open convention is a better solution.
Maybe, but can’t happen unless (Dr. Jill the Educatrix) Biden agrees!
Roger Stone was speculating on how it might go down. Obama and Kamala meet with Joe and tell him his cabinet is set on removing him but want to give him the option of stepping down on his own, first, so he can avoid the humiliation and also pardon his family before he goes. Talk about an offer he can’t refuse. Brutal, but effective.
Grrr... that putrid, narcissistic piece of sh!t...
OK, I had to check to see if this was The Babylon Bee.
Tragically, it wasn’t.
Yes, she has little to no black ancestry. She might have some on her father’s side, but as I understand it, that has never been proven. But that hasn’t stopped her from riding the grievance gravy train.
Is kamel afraid of a white candidate or just an eligible one?
