A call has been made for Vice President Kamala Harris to step down. In an opinion published on Friday, The Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker called the vice president’s performance “disappointing.”
“The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. The seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning,” the piece read.
“Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others,” Parker added.
Parker’s major case was for Harris to “step aside” from President Joe Biden’s ticket for the 2024 election for the country’s sake.
