Chatter about replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the Democrat ticket with several different Democrat governors is reportedly irking those in Vice President Kamala Harris’s orbit, with one source saying the discussions send an underlying message the party desires a “white” candidate, according to a report.
Politico reported the sour feelings within Harris’s camp as Govs. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) have been at the forefront of media speculation as to who could potentially replace Biden at the top of the ticket if Biden were actually to step aside.
The article points to Govs. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) and Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as other politicians mentioned as potential alternatives to Biden.
Behind the scenes, Harris allies are “expressing frustration that her name is not being mentioned in the same company as other ambitious Democrats,” wrote Politico’s Eugene Daniels, Jennifer Haberkorn, and Myah Ward. One source charged it is “offensive.”
It has nothing to do with racism, sexism, or any other “ism”. It is all about her stupidity.
Looking at the Dem field of possibilities, why even bother? Concede this one and regroup for 2032, or 2036, or 2040. After Trump’s next and final term, Republicans will keep the house, senate and presidency for at least four terms. Meanwhile, Dems can whine and point fingers as if they were perpetual guests on The View.
6:46 – The Democrats can’t do that. They threw everything at 45, and completely exposed their mechanisms and the deep state. They know if 45 gets back into office, it’s over. During his Presidency, Trump had no idea exactly who was connected and how deeply. Now, he does – and he’ll be coming for each of them. That is why they can’t just roll over and take a loss – they realize the party will be crushed when he starts cleaning house, and given that this will be the last time, you can be sure that they are all going down.
