How Kamala Harris's affair with a much-older Democrat kingpin catapulted her career... and his prophetic warning about her future prospects in White House

After Kamala Harris' campaign for president flamed out in late 2019, her California power-player ex advised against her accepting any offer to be second banana on the Democratic ticket, warning that the vice presidency would actually be the nail in the coffin to any future White House ambitions.

Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown - now 90 - wrote an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle warning his one-time lover Harris to decline Joe Biden's summer of 2020 offer, because 'historically, the vice presidency has often ended up being a dead end.'

'The glory would be short-lived, and historically, the vice presidency has often ended up being a dead end,' Brown wrote. 'For every George H.W. Bush, who ascended from the job to the presidency, there’s an Al Gore, who never got there.'

But as Democrats are now falling back in love with Harris out of necessity as they scramble to try and replace Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket following last week's cringe-worthy presidential debate performance, it appears that Brown got it all wrong.

Or at least he didn't account for opportunity knocking, because it is precisely Harris' position as VP that, despite her polling and behind-the-scenes unpopularity, has now made her the obvious choice in the eyes of many to replace Biden.

While Biden has insisted that he is fit to stay in the race and govern should he beat Donald Trump in November, Democratic operatives have reportedly already chosen Harris, and are now even discussing who her running mate should be.

Trump needs to publicly challenge her eligibility.

Trump needs to publicly challenge her eligibility.

Noone cares about that.

Obama proved that you can be President for two terms without being eligible.

That ship has sailed.

Vivek versus Harris is a debate I would go watch in a movie theatre with popcorn

Well, its obvious she’s past her “best-by-date” so I don’t think she’ll be able to use “that” to move up the ladder...

All that matters to her base base is that she is a woman of color and checks the right boxes.

I wonder if rat handlers are even going to let Biden finish this term, without a resignation by him or by an alteration in meds.
