As speculation continues to swirl around the frenzied campaign to replace Joe Biden and just who that replacement might be, the names of several prominent blue state governors have been widely reported on and discussed, like Gavin Newsom in California and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer.
Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has almost been an afterthought.
In a hypothetical situation where there is talk of replacing the president at the top of the ticket, you'd think the default answer would be to turn to the veep - and stay there.
But we are not in normal times, this is not a hypothetical situation, and Kamala Harris is not your typical vice president considering what she knows about actually leading a nation, especially through troubling times, could be placed in a thimble with plenty of room to spare.
Harris, a failed presidential candidate, was of course picked in 2020 for DEI-esque reasons as Joe Biden at the time was under immense pressure from powerful Democrats to select a woman of color for his VP nominee or else. He settled on Harris to try and quiet the wokesters in his party, the same ones who are now threatening to "blow the party up" should the DNC overlook Harris in the event Biden is replaced - especially if that person is a white man.
But as the media puff pieces about Kamala crank up, and as she is likely in the midst of measuring the drapes, the "open secret" about Kamala Harris is also once again bubbling to the surface - and it is one that I believe is fueling the "anybody but Kamala" panic on Capitol Hill and among big Dem donors, as explained well by left-leaning political commentator/author Matt Stoller:
It's an open secret that Kamala Harris is stupid and isn't good at campaigning. Are we going to pretend that we can move from one open secret about Biden's senility straight to another one about the next nominee? Don't answer that.— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 3, 2024
It will be fun to watch Kamala Harris mishandle question after question the gist of which is "What did you know about Biden's condition and when did you know it?"
What's she going to do? Pivot to her ideas on tackling inflation?— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 3, 2024
We've already had a preview of sorts on this front, as Harris was hit the night of Biden's disastrous debate performance with a question from CNN's Anderson Cooper about what people were saying about it. Here's a partial video clip from that exchange:
ANDERSON COOPER: "[Biden] was a very different person on the stage four years ago when you debated him. That's certainly true, is it not?!"

Just cringe on steroids, and it won't get any better. This is who Kamala Harris is and always will be, never being able to rise to the moment and expecting to be shown deference because of the much-hyped historical "firsts" represented by her vice presidency.
Well here's another modern-day "first" for Kamala: Democrats don't want to elevate the vice president to the presidential nominee role in this situation because they know deep down she's not very good at what she does, as evidenced by the fact that there's nothing she's done since taking office that disproves that very inconvenient fact.
In short, Democrats are confirming in their own way that they know much of what their conservative critics said about Kamala Harris' "skills" all along is true, just like much of what has been said about Joe Biden's incoherency and acuity since before he was sworn in was true.

Does it have anything to do with Willie Brown? Does it have anything to do with her 75 IQ?
Cough, cough!!
This is just a way of defending Biden. He is stupid.
She’s got this:
“We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues…and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together...we will work on this together.”
So we just gotta, like, work together.
RE: Cough, cough!!
But she hs skills. Just ask Downtown Willie Brown.
The only thing that concerns me about her, though, is the short time people have to figure it out when the media is going to be gushing over her.
Or that she is stoned pie eyed most of the day and night— which accentuates her very low IQ and gibberish salad sentences and speech patterns. Dumb and trys to pretend she isn’t because-— “I’m speaking now” (Pence debate- where she really was awful as well— because she really is stupid, and also self-anointed- aren’t they all).
She got- let us all not forget exactly ONE primary delegate vote and then dropped out— because she wasn’t going to get any more. But the dumba@@ money behind her got her a vp slot— which she has more than screwed up than any before.
I figured it would be that she was Willie Brown’s mistress.
But no, it was that she’s stupid and not a good campaigner.
If Kamala becomes president will her Presidential Library have a Salad bar in it ?
How did she get through law school?
Lawyers are supposed to be able to talk aren’t they - yet somehow she got a degree and still sounds like a flaming idiot.
That's what I thought would be revealed as the open secret. That Kamala was Willie Brown's ho'.
The visible people at the top of the Democrat structure are all very low quality — Biden, Harris, Pelosi, etc. These are not masterminds; they are old and/or stupid. They aren’t leading anything.
One could make the case that Barack Obama is the power behind it all. Certainly some truth to that. But many would point out that Obama is also a bit of an idiot. So who is really running this thing?
Clearly not a person elected to run our government. It’s all in the shadows. Names could be guessed, but this is so deep and so secret it’s clear that We The People have no say in our government at all.
LOL! Whoreizontal & Joementia. The ‘rats aren’t sending their best..or are they?
I'm sure that the important decision-makers at her law school did expect her to be able to talk. But they probably made allowances on that matter because her mouth was full.
We’ve basically got the hawk-tuah girl as VP.
Secret? Or Secrets??? There’s an encyclopedia of ignorance on this wh*re the media refuse to touch because she’s black.
BTW- love the name of the author of this piece...
The democrats get progressively more stupid Biden was picked to hide Obama’s flaws and Kamala was supposed to balance Biden but how destroyed does the US have to suffer for the Obama mistake.
The Democrats were okay with their half-assed ticket in 2020 because they figured Biden would survive the term and things wouldn’t be turned over to the other nitwit.
Fail.
They have to be held accountable for the terrible risk in which they have put the country.
