After President Joe Biden may dropped out of the presidential race calls for him to resign the presidency altogether surged. Those who posted that he should resign fully said, essentially, if he's not fit to run in November, what makes him fit to serve until November? VP candidate JD Vance asked the question on Saturday, just one day before Biden withdrew from the race.
If Biden were to resign, Kamala Harris, vice president and frontrunner to be the new Democrat at the top of their ticket, would assume the office months ahead of facing Donald Trump on Election Day. Harris does not necessarily match up well in polling against Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head contest.
"Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism. If you can't run, you can't serve. He should resign now," he said. Those calls for Biden to leave the White House ramped up on Sunday after Biden did drop out of the race.
And what’s going to happen to democracy? Can Kamala defend it? It’s best we don’t abandon Brandon. /s
The democrats have managed to turn the government into a Marx Brothers comedy.
As I said on another thread I may be wrong but if Harris were to become POTUS a VP would not be rubber stamped by the house for her. That means Mike Johnson would be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. That is a very high risk I doubt the dims would be willing to take.
Don’t do it, Joe! Hang in there for the rest of your term!
I’m not so sure.
Kamala as POTUS has at least two negative possible outcomes for us:
1- TPTB arrange a serious crisis which she is able to brilliantly surmount (cough, Wag The Dog, cough). Easy enough to do for the deep state. Iranian nuke, a quick, decisive strike that takes it out, pictures of a calm, steely Kamala flood the media; praise from all corners including RINOs floods in. ‘Dn’t change horses in the middle of the stream’....
2 serious terrorist attack allowing for the imposition of martial law and concomitant full-state press.
Playing the game..next move dems..
He wasn’t running things anyway and it is dangerous to continue the illusion.
Exactly.🤔
That’s far from clear. Appointed Senators have a rather poor record of being elected in their own right.
Dems can now say Biden is able to have 100% focus on leading America to greatness rather than divide his few coherent hours while awake on campaigning and leadership. He can pore over huge background fact binders, consult with experts and defuse international situations full time. /S
Really: Extra naps. His favorite soap operas. Old movies.
This is just going to snowball as we go along.
Especially because it will be her first time.
At both jobs.
