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.

One question: how in hell did she get a law degree? Ok 2 questions, who took the bar exam for her?
Kamala failed the Bar exam on her first try.
After graduating from the University of California, Hastings College of Law in 1989, she sat for the California Bar Exam. She failed it the first time she took it. She sat and passed on her next attempt, and was admitted to the California bar in 1990.

The Democrats have an easy answer for that.
Simply accuse the questioner of sexism or racism.
But she's good at xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx. And that apparently got her to where she is today.
When Mr. Obama was occupying the Oval Office, it was an article of faith around here that he was an empty suit. An idiot. A gibbering moron who could not complete a coherent sentence except when reading the teleprompter with a monotone voice and a robotic cadence.
Now some people want to make him out to be a criminal mastermind?
Bosh.
YOU are being much TOO GENEROUS.
I wouldn’t grant more than about 57
Biden’s way of doubling-down on staying in the race is by keeping Harris on the ticket, too: she was a horrible choice 4 years ago, but today it’s an interesting double-whammy for his party — one they still seem all too timid to challenge... not that I mind.
If Kamala becomes president will her Presidential Library have a Salad bar in it ?
Good question. If it does, it will be in addition to her knee pads, the back seat of a Cadillac, a matress, futon, multiple desks and a DNA stained couch.
I have to disagree to a point.
One became famous for a spur of the moment comment.
The other is a documentable whore, who used sex for political gain.
Not much in common between these two.
Hawk-Tuah Harris. LOLOLOL!!!
You win the internet today.
It’s an open secret that Kamala Harris is stupid and isn’t good at campaigning
Well, what IS she good at?
