Los Angeles Times columnist George Skelton floated a scenario that he thinks could cure Democrat woes across multiple elected offices: If Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) retires midterm and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appoints Vice President Kamala Harris to her seat, then President Joe Biden can find a more appealing running mate for 2024.
The idea, which Skelton endorsed in his article Thursday but admitted is farfetched, came from an L.A. Times reader, who sent the idea to the columnist. If the unlikely hypothetical scenario ever were to unfold, it would send shockwaves through California and national politics.
For starters, replacing Feinstein with Harris would be a positive for Democrats on multiple fronts, noted Skelter. The 90-year-old Feinstein, whose daughter reportedly has power of attorney over her legal affairs, has appeared confused at times following her return from a health-related absence in March, in which she missed more than 90 votes. This came after the New York Times reported last summer that Democrats were struggling to keep her declining mental health under wraps.
George Skelton is an idiot. He is just as stupid as kamala
Least likely idea ever? Could well be.
Harris was installed as CA senator previously. Been there, done that! because she was female and not clearly white, thus checking two boxes as a replacement for Barbara Boxer who was merely female and white. Boxer was regarded as fairly slow so Harris’ even lower brain count was regarded as another plus.
Now Harris sits one sandbag, bike ride or airstair fall from being President. She happily entered politics as the mistress of CA’s major political guy. Do you seriously think she’d take a step to a previously held, less powerful role as the most junior senator?
If Biden does not run, how do they take the top of the ticket from a tinted female who is already VP, terrible as she is? Stay tuned and order more popcorn.
